Abstract
Nowadays, sexism is still very common in English. In the patriarchal society, the status of women gradually declined, making them become male accessories. Therefore, the social roles of men and women have changed dramatically due to the different division of labor. With the long development of society, people's consciousness has gradually changed, but gender differences still exist in our society. This essay aims to analyze and discuss this problem from many aspects and suggest some ways to prevent the sexism from happening.
