Why are women agressively sexist?
Some women are aggressively sexist because many females are taught not to be sexist, by society, or at least not to be sexist towards men since they are often seen as the dominant gender.
Since there tends to be more men who show sexist tendencies towards females, even when not aware because of how society teaches males to behave, women have less people backing them when they want something done equally for both genders. In turn, they feel they have to behave far more aggressively in pushing their point and show to be sexist either intentionally or unintentionally rather than showing to just want equality.

Historically and cross-culturally sexism is most often used to subordinate women?
For centuries women have been placed in a secondary position to men. The idea originated from The Bible that Eve gave Adam the Apple and therefore brought sin into the world. The fact that women have born children also added to this thinking making them weaker. Children were also considered to be born with sin. When the Catholic Church made the ruling that priests be celibate many women were left alone in poverty because they were no longer married to the man who was a priest. Women became chattel to men and have been bought, sold, raped, abused, and bartered for lands and wealth. Women haven't been allowed to go to school, own property, have their own money, and make decisions for themselves. Since inheritances were from the males this locked women out of gaining any power or property. There have been a few exceptions like Eleanor of Aquitaine who was the wife of two kings and the mother of 3 kings. Yet, she was placed in exile for many years by her husband. It was a common practice in the Middle Ages to put women in a nunnery to get rid of them and remove them from society. Single women had to stay with family and a male relative was made their guardian. This persistented all the way through to the 1900's and still women were given little education, or freedom to live as they wanted. Today, in the world there are places where women still don't have any civil rights, education, or are forced into sexual slavery. Even in the United States the civil rights of women has been a long process. It wasn't until Title 9 in the 1960's that women's sports in schools and colleges had equal access to funding. The first woman fighter pilot was in the 1980's, but she still couldn't fight in a combat role. As late as 1991 women were required to get a permission to buy car insurance and getting credit was also limited. Today there are some who like to have women go back 100 years in civil rights. The fact that women have been able to control their own reproductive health has given women a means to gain education, wealth, and power. Reproductive freedom is an economic issue for the most part because it has allowed women the freedom to go into government, business, and gain higher education replacing men in positions of power.

Betty Friedan argued in The Feminine Mystique that suburban women were unfulfilled in their traditional roles.
When did the women's liberation movement start?
It is difficult to answer this question, because there have been women's rights movements in a number of countries. But let me discuss the Women's Rights movement in the US. Some people say that Abigail Adams, wife of Founding Father (and later President) John Adams, began the conversation in 1776, when she asked her husband in a letter to "remember the ladies" with regard to rights for married women (at that time, not only couldn't women vote, but under the common law, married women were considered the property of their husband). Unfortunately, her request was ignored.
The first official gathering of women who advocated for equality under the law was held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY. By most accounts, it was a small but passionate group (perhaps 125 people-- mostly women, but a few men), who wanted the right to vote as well as equal legal rights. Some scholars believe that 1848 event was the start of the women's movement. It certainly started what became a long battle for suffrage (the right to vote), as well as for more rights for married women, and better access to education for girls. Women in the US did not get the right to vote till 1920, although in a few individual states, the ability to vote in local elections, plus some other rights, were given as early as the 1870s and 1880s. Property rights, better access to education, and other issues of discrimination were not really addressed till the second wave of the women's movement, which began in the 1960s.
Yes. They are more aggressively sexist than men, despite denial of it.
Mainly, the country old traditions and practices, misunderstanding of society proper relationships, self feelings of having superiority over women (that is wrong), and religion misunderstanding.
Yes a lot of the time because girls will make sexist jokes towards a guy if he joins the ballet or cheer leading team, and boys will make sexist jokes towards girls who want to play football, baseball, or any other "manly" sport, which of course, there is no such thing as a "manly" or "girls" sport. That's why they're just called sports.

Who wrote the book The Feminine Mystique published in 1963 that helped spark the women's movement?

What a the causes and effects of gender discrimination?
A number of the differences are physical. Men do not get maternity leaves since they cannot give birth. Men do not normally get tender breasts, so they cannot use that as an excuse for not lifting heavy things when asked at work. Testosterone causes men to be more naturally assertive and aggressive, while women have to learn such traits.
However, many of the differences are caused by sexism, gender stereotypes, and prejudice.
Sometime else to keep in mind is the question, is equality always fair? Since men and women are different, equality is not fair, since attempts to ensure equality would cause an unfair advantage or unfair penalty of someone because of their gender. Is affirmative action fair? Should performance be taken completely out of the equation and everyone should get paid the same and as much opportunities, regardless of how well they do their jobs?
