'''Sexism''' is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's gender. Sexist [[attitudes]] may stem from traditional [[stereotypes]] of gender roles,[2][full citation needed] and may include the belief that a person of one sex is intrinsically superior to a person of the other. A job applicant may face discriminatory hiring practices, or (if hired) receive unequal compensation or treatment [[compared]] to that of their opposite-sex [[peers]]. [[Extreme]] sexism may foster sexual harassment, [[rape]] and other forms of sexual [[violence]].
