Students Against Sexism - ProfilesArchive

About Me

We are an organization of students who decided to participate in a social action group project to educate people about sexism. Our goal is to enlighten others of the harm sexism causes as well as what constitutes sexism and how to change it. We also hope to teach people the importance of taking a stand to help build a society free of sexism. We want to use this page to explore and examine topics like ambivalent and hostile sexism, sexism in romantic relationships, sexism and religion, sexism in the workplace, and sexism on college campuses. We will do our best to keep the page current, but do not expect it to be updated often. Feel free to look at our references so that you can read up on some of the research done on our topic.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All people are welcome. We want to meet anyone who is interested in learning more about gender equality and those who are willing to take a stand and continuing to spread the message.
