The truth about me is that I have saved many – From Cinderella to Rapunzel; I have rescued them all. The problem with these women was that they left me‚ Muttering the word possessive‚ as they each head for the door. Am I not attractive in this armour upon horse?

What’s Sexism? The word "sexism" became widely known during the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1960s. At that time‚ feminist theorists explained that oppression of women was widespread in nearly all human society‚ and they began to speak of sexism instead of male chauvinism.
