Sexism at Home: Invisble and quite?
April 29, 2004 - 11:19 AM

If you ever experienced sexism somewhere else than in your own house, you would know somepeople will care. They will try to help you. But what if it's at home, no one but you and your family members. You've just experienced sexism, no one is here, no one to help you. What would you do? How would you feel?

Sexism at home have been kept quite for a long time. Most victims are afraid to speak out and/or report the incident(s). I think it's a issue that need to be discussed. People have "retreated" to their own house. What do you think we can do to stop this?

I think that we should form some kind of a project or group that would support the men and women who suffer from sexism at home. This group will be ale to give them support and safety. Even though I haven't experienced this, I think that others who haven't experienced sexism at home should ake part in these support groups and projects.

Trouble finding them...

The problem is, if the victim don't report the incident, no one will know, even if there is an organization that will help them. A lot of women are afraid to tell others because there's also harrasment envolved. If they tell, they will get punished from their offender. What we need is an a group of people that sexism victims will trust, and willing to tell their troubles. So we can get a better understanding of sexism and stop it sooner.

Just curious how do you define "sexism at home", if you take a broad definition then that pretty much encompasses all homes. Almost all of which there is no evidence of harrassment.

Yes. It exists in majority of homes in this world. Too bad, no matter how we try, it will stay this way. People which have ability to decide have decided this way long time back.

Thats reality. I would love to get that changed, but my efforts are limited inside Futurian community.

To answer your question, think of these:

-The male head of the family has all the money, the female turns all her salary in when ever she receives a check.
-Major decisions are made by the male head of the family.
-Female members of the family has to be extra polite and careful when around the males.
-Houseworks are almost completely done by females.
-Female members obey the male without questioning.

These are just a few examples of sexism at home. Of course all of the examples above can be the other way around, i just took the most common. If you ever seen or experienced, you'll know it's sexism.

Some of the comments I obviously agree with particularly the last one, were we are crossing that line into abuse. However for the first two I will say that someone probably has to make the decisions and handle the money. In my family its my mother, both my parents work but she cashes both checks and figures out how to make ends meet. Same with major decisions, they are initiated by her, but she always discusses it throughly with my dad and us as well (probably just a case of who has greater initiative in some families). #3 could go both ways depending on the extent, I find I'm personally more 'polite' around females than males and probably vice versa. This one also back and forth depending on extent, sometimes its just different type of work that's being done and its kinda like comparing apples and oranges... or boys and girls.... and again 5 is a no brainer.

Thanks Antoine, your opinion really helped out. Now I've got opinions on different perspectives, it would be a lot easier to inform everyone else.
