Being Female: My Experiences with Sexism
The first time I experienced sexism was when I was in the seventh grade. I overheard a conversation between my male teacher and one of the male students in my class. I don’t remember his name, so I’ll just call him Thomas. He wasn’t doing well in the class and my teacher had enough of it. The teacher then made it known to Thomas that a girl had the highest grade in the class. That girl, no surprise, was me. The look on the Thomas’ face as those words left the teacher’s mouth is engraved in my mind. His mouth fell open ever so slightly, just enough to know that he surprised, but still closed enough to know that it didn’t really matter to him that a girl had a better grade than him.
