Institutional sexism is the discrimination against one gender (usually women) by means of actual rules, such as a rule stating that a particular job can only be filled by a man. This is distinct from individual sexism, in which people discriminate against women even though there is no actual rule that requires them to do so.

How does institutional sexism operate?
Institutional sexism is perpetuated through a system of oppression that is composed of institutional discrimination, cultural bias, and personal prejudice. Many of the rationalizations for sexism stem from the biases we all have about sex roles that result from the historical inequities women have faced throughout time. Because women played the major role in families for child rearing, housekeeping and food preparation, present day ideas about the role women should play are still influenced by the past. As more women have entered the workplace (allowing a burgeoning middle class to evolve int he USA), fewer families have stay at home mothers and women represent 50% of the college student population at this time. However, there are still notions that women should limit their career ambition and make marriage and motherhood a priority. Another major influence on sexism is our culture of sexual abuse and predatory behavior that goes unchecked in many families and communities. Add to this the make up, fashion, diet, plastic surgery and pornography industries and you have half the population more worried about looking fat that whether we receive an equitable wage or angry about the fact that we have no decent affordable childcare. 1 in 4 women is raped between the age of 18 and 24. And what do we teach our sons? What does desparate housewives have to offer women? How do media such as sex and the city and nip and tuck impact young women today? Why are eating disorders so rampant in our communities? Why do women earn 73 cents to every man's dollar? Why are people more interested in Sarah Palin's wardrobe and make up expenses, her motherhood values than her mind, her values, her job experience, her ethics?
