prejudice or discrimination based on a person’s (perceived) sex or gender
"Sexism is prejudice or discrimination against a person or group based on their sex or gender. It primarily affects women and femmes, and it is the root cause of gender inequity worldwide.
Examples:
"This refers to beliefs and behaviors that are openly hostile toward a group of people based on their sex or gender. Misogyny, or the hatred of women, is an example of hostile sexism."
EXAMPLES:
"Benevolent sexism can be less obvious. It is a more socially accepted form and is much more likely to be endorsed by men and women. However, despite its name, this type of sexism is not truly benevolent."
Benevolent sexism includes views and behaviors that frame women as:
a cultural attitude of hatred for women and femmes
slut shaming
degradation of gender or gender expression
rape culture
gender-based slurs
benevolent chivalry
devaluing femininity, femmes, and women

Academics and Social Scientists love to theorize on people's experiences and create terminology for those experiences.
So, none of this is new! Even if you're just being introduced to these terms for the first time, many of you may already be really familiar with these experiences because you experience them, have seen them, or have heard stories of them.
Okay, so you're liberated. Now what?
You advocate for gender justice! Gender Justice is defined as "the full equality and equity between all genders in all spheres of life, resulting in defining and shaping the policies, structures and decisions that affect their lives and society as a whole", including politically, economically, and socially.
