“My number One” Personally, everyone I know has experienced that “Aha!” moment in their life that has changed the way they look at the world. There are so many things that can give a person that feeling of change. Some of the most dramatic I have come across are a soldier’s first moment at war, the harsh reality for a mother that has lost her child, and the experience of falling in love for the first time. I can remember the exact place and time that my view on the world changed. I was a 13 year old girl who didn’t grasp what “forever” even meant. What mattered most was annoying my older sisters and impressing the other kids at school, but as I was rushed to the hospital one night, none of these actions crossed my mind.

My chair faced the wide double doors of the emergency room that my sister Angel had disappeared in, and I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off them. I reached up and pulled my jacket over my nose, I couldn’t stand the smell of the room any longer. The smell of too many chemicals and sick people made the gloomy grey walls seem to pull at me, making me start to feel all the more anxious. The clock on the wall ticked away slowly, and as the hours passed my anxiety only increased. Finally, at three in the morning, a young doctor walked into the waiting room with an expression I couldn’t read. Somehow I knew before he said anything that he had news about my sister.

Hostile Sexism Inventory Analysis

After taking the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, my views and thoughts have changed on what I thought I knew about sexism and feminism. Hostile sexism is the negative feelings towards women.

If you encourage the pay gap because you believe that women are less deserving of equal pay due to their gender, then you would be the hostile type of sexism. This is due to…
