Dealing with Sexism

For those who actually give a shit and read my blog, you are probably wondering....."what kinda of sexism is she dealing with?" I mean it could be work related, or even school related. Sadly, it isn't none of the above. Instead I am forced to deal with the sexism in my own home. My father is Mexican and treats my brother like he is a fucking god, and me and my sister are the fucking help. And does my mom try to stop this? fuck no. instead it is like she encourages it. She treats my brother like he is her moon and sun, she dotes upon him non-stop and it is sickening. this might sound harsh, and some might think we are mis-treated. this is not true, however, we are treated in a different way which in the long run will harm us. 

 i am now 20...yet have to be home at 12. my brother is 17....but can stay out till 11. umm so basically i am 2 years older than him. does that mean i get a half hour for the amount of years i am older than him or some bullshit like that? i can't even try to point this out to my parents. my mom is in denial of the fact we are treated like second class citizens and my dad tells me to shut up. and did i mention that he actually tells me to shut up a lot? about the randomest stupidest shit? i usually tell him no though. 

i feel like my gender is a HUGE and probably one of the main reasons i can be treated differently in my house. after taking a sociology class i do realize that it is partly cultural beliefs and whatnot on my dad's part. but does that justify it? no it doesn't. I am personally a feminist. i believe that women should be treated equally and have equal opportunities despite our sex. not only that but i am also Pro-Choice and I was No for Prop 8. I tend to believe in non-violence. i think that everyone should be treated equally despite sex, race, class, culture, religion, etc. however, our society isn't even close....despite what some might believe. we are a system that oppresses people and crimes of hate are acted out every day. 

mostly i just wanted to rant. i am tired of being treated differently just because i have a vagina.
