Sexism is a form of discrimination and hate against the opposite sex. It affects both males and females but females are more vulnerable to it. Some examples are gender role stereotyping (such as women belong in the kitchen while men belong at work) or sexual objectification (looking at the opposite sex as nothing more that sexual pleasure objects). Some consequences could be fear or disdain of the opposite sex and could result in worse things down the road.
