It is so big an issue we consider it normal. Normal how? Normal in feminist discourse, normal topic at work? Most don’t see sexism as violence or damaging since it is part of our nature to be sexual in a very open way, think about sex, look sexy, look for sex. Some see it one way to approach and flatter, to get what one wants. We don’t either see sexism at all but think it as a form of acceptable expression which is cool and basic human behavior or we ignore sexism easily because it is so everyday or we are afraid to bring it up because it is dangerous or shameful even though it is normal. Quite a contradiction. It is normal differently for women and for men. It is a difficult issue to talk about because the one who brings it up can get in trouble, may not be taken seriously, possibly will get hurt etc. Sexism is so normalized that people may find sex the only interesting thing about a person and only things that are interesting are sexy, about sex, for sex.
