Definition
- Sexism usually refers to prejudice or discrimination based on sex or gender, especially against women and girls. Its origin is unclear, but it was first found in the Merriam Webster Dictionary in 1968 and is most likely modeled after the civil rights movement's term racism, which refers to prejudice or discrimination based on race.
