Something that irritates me a lot is when boys make sexist comments about girls. Even if they say them as a joke, it's still offensive. Telling me to "go make me a sandwich" and saying that "girls can only cook and clean" is rude and sexist, and it doesn't make me an extreme feminist when I tell you to stop. Another thing that bothers me is when boys use disrespectful words to describe women. A lot of rap songs especially annoy me because they promote the objectification of women. Women should be treated with respect and not as sexual objects that only serve to "cook and clean".

I resent sexism but like most people I breathe in its smog every day. The problem I encounter is that I also resent feminists. Equality is a hard thing to define considering the inherent differences between genders anyway. They are not equal exactly, but one is not superior to the other. This reminds me of one of the numbers in the musical, which seemed to promote women staying in the home but could have been sarcastic. I can never decide, but I demand peace.
