· One way to fight sexism is to not buy into sexist products of the media. If you are going to read something like Cosmopolitan magazine, make sure you are thinking critically about what it is telling you.
· A second way to fight sexism is to point it out. Be aware of it in your everyday surroundings and don’t be afraid to speak up. Don’t let your friends buy into the idea that they are just making a choice as opposed to performing gender.
· A third way to fight sexism is to educate yourself. You have access to televisions, newspapers and the internet which are all the tools you need to make a change!
