  Sexism is both discrimination based on gender and the attitudes, stereotypes, and the cultural elements that promote this

 Feminists are fond of claiming we live in a [[rape culture]].  The ''Rape Abuse & Incest National Network'' (RAINN) in the United States has written a letter to the White House, objecting strongly to claims about rape culture as can be seen [[rape culture|here]].
