Are there any examples of sexism, where the person doesn't want to be doing what they're doing?

Hooters

Beauty pageants

Are just a couple things you might think of when you think "sexism" against girls, seeing as how they base a girls worth off her looks (yes, pageants have the Q and A portion) but lets fact facts here, most of it, is off their looks and their talent, not their brain. 3/4 of the pageant is based on clothing.

But, remember, those people are doing those things because they WANTED to do it. They wanted to work for hooters. They wanted to be in the contests. If they didn't, they wouldn't do it. Noone forces them to do either. Unless of course it's a crazy mother or father saying you HAVE to do this (which of course is weird)

So, can you think of any example of "sexism" where the person doesn't want to be doing it

Sex trafficking is not a viable answer here

I used to work at a theatre, like the kind with actual actors and musicians. The men were made to do all the heavy lifting, even the old guy and I (I'd just recovered from multiple skeletal surgeries). While the female start only had to push around drink carts an set table cloths.

Also for some reason every item we had to frequently move there was inexplicably two or three times the weight of similar items at other venues. (Tables chairs, even the velvet ropes and stands). Seemed odd

So you were being used for your gender, because men are the stronger gender, genetically? Did they ask you if you wanted to do the heavy lifting, did they ask the girls?

[ArtemisSilver]

They specifically assigned the work by gender.

[Asker]

They just assumed?

Nobody got asked shit.

I don't know. But beauty pageants need to become obsolete. Something about a bunch of grown men judging I year old girls in their bathing suits never sat well with me.
