my speech

This is my speech. It took me a couple weeks to make I hope you enjoy it!

What is sexism well sexism is were a male or female is put down or excluded because of there gender. So have you ever faced sexism or has someone you know faced sexism. If you or relative or friend havent you are pretty lucky because it is an horrible thing that has been around for hundreds of years and it is really comen. And there are many forms of sexism whether it be women get payed less than men or men get put down for doing a female job which is not true there are know female or male jobs.


Leading me into my first topic I will talk to you about today male and female jobs. First of all there are know male and female jobs so don't go thinking there are. Ok you wonder what is a male or female job well have you ever heard a male ballerina well you might have but you do not hear it much. And this is only a tiny part of it there are way way more forms of sexism and that is what I walk talk to you about next.


Did you know that New Zealand was the first country to let women vote on September the 19 1893. Isn't that great well some other countries saw this and thought well this is not ok and then a hole lot of other countries started letting women vote like America let women vote in 1920. And Saudi Arabia in 2011! Also America hasn't had 1 women president yet well they came very close but we all know how that story ended.


Now I will talk about sexism in kids now this topic will talk about girls and boys games or sports girls and boys colours and most importantly girls and boys toys. First of all boys and girls sports or games this one is a big one like for example a boy netball player this is not what kids like to do because they think it is for the girls to play. Also a girl rugby player now this one is a lot more common but still most female kids don't do this.


And now for my second kids topic kids colours. This one is also a really big one ranging all through a kids childhood. I think you all no the story but for some of you who don't blue and green and black are boy colours and pink and purple are girl colours. And normally what happens if a boy likes pink they will get picked on for this or if a girl likes blue they will also get picked on.


And last part of the kids topic is boys and girls toys. Why do people think that there are gender specific toy such as dolls prams and barbies for girls. Or trucks and action figures for boys why can't they play with other toys other than the ones that other boys play with or other girls play with. I think personally a big thing with it would be cometals or how they introduce the toy to the kid. Like for a add for a action figure it might have a lot of explosions and only boys in the advertisement or the opposite for a girl add with only girls in the add.


And now unfortunately I have to end my speech soon but first I want to talk about what we can do to stop sexism. Well something I think I can do is just spread the word but we could do many more things like. Putting both girls and boys and adds and having a female us president. And now I want you to think how can you stop sexism.
