    Historical gender discrimination has deep roots, influenced by a complex interplay of factors such as societal norms, cultural traditions, and economic structures. One significant aspect contributing to discrimination is the historical assignment of roles based on perceived gender differences, where physical strength played a pivotal role.

    In many ancient civilizations, the division of labor was often established along gender lines. Men, perceived as stronger, were assigned tasks that required physical prowess, such as hunting, agriculture, and heavy lifting. This distinction laid the foundation for a societal hierarchy, reinforcing the notion of men as dominant figures. This historical context framed expectations around gender roles, shaping cultural norms that persisted through generations.

    The Agricultural Revolution further solidified gender roles, with men predominantly engaging in farming and women managing household duties. This division of labor not only reflected perceived strengths but also established a patriarchal structure where men held economic and decision-making power.

    The Industrial Revolution marked a pivotal moment in history, transforming work dynamics and amplifying gender disparities. Factories and industries created separate spheres for men and women. Men were often assigned to labor-intensive tasks in factories, while women were confined to roles deemed more suitable for their perceived gentleness, such as textile work. This separation reinforced gendered expectations and limited opportunities for women in the professional sphere.

    While women entered the workforce during the Industrial Revolution, they faced persistent wage gaps and limited career advancements. Discriminatory practices persisted, reflecting deeply ingrained biases from centuries past. The prevailing notion of women as primary caregivers and men as primary breadwinners continued to influence hiring decisions and workplace dynamics.

    Historically, real incidents and narratives highlight the struggles faced by women. Suffrage movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries sought to challenge these norms, advocating for women's rights and opportunities. Despite progress, gender discrimination remains entrenched in workplaces globally.

    Efforts to address these disparities gained momentum in the 20th century, with movements advocating for equal pay, gender-neutral hiring practices, and the dismantling of traditional gender roles. While strides have been made, challenges persist, illustrating the enduring impact of historical gender discrimination on contemporary societies. Recognizing these historical roots is crucial for fostering lasting change, promoting gender equality, and creating inclusive workplaces for future generations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:7D58:2E00:845:E003:86F0:BC60 (talk) 06:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Move paragraph to its own section

    [edit]

    Under conscription, the following paragraph should be moved somewhere else. It is not about conscription, but lists military experience of people on the military. conscription is only about forcing people to labor and risk lives for the military.

    paragraph to move

    Conditions in the military have been described as "sexually abusive" and the "sexual persecution" of women.Relentless sexist ridicule, hostility, and sexual harassment has been frequently reported. Women in the military are more likely to be raped by a male fellow soldier than killed by the enemy. Prosecution of the reported crimes fails to move forward, as the Pentagon claimed it would undermine the leadership of the commanders. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:3917:655:744:5C86 (talk) 06:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rather than create a one-paragraph section, I renamed this one from "Conscription" to "Military". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:34, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The section should be called conscription as it is the main point.
    forced labor military service on the basis of gender alone is important to keep in the sexism page.
    the part about rape and prosecutions of rape in the military needs it’s own section 2600:1700:D591:5F10:480E:F575:B322:4215 (talk) 21:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
