Sexism

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Sexism has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Megyn Kelly (Feb 2026). Sexism is invoked as a label the speakers reject when applied to differences in audience interest between men's and women's sports.

Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but primarily affects women and girls. It has been linked to gender roles and stereotypes, and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another. Extreme sexism may foster sexual harassment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence. Discrimination in this context is defined as discrimination toward people based on their gender identity or their gender or sex differences.
