[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# sexism

Sexism is prejudice and discrimination based on sex, typically against women, girls, and gender-expansive people. Sexism is rife throughout society. Sexism operates in public and private, online and off, and is based on historically unequal power relations between men and women and the belief in male superiority.
