Question #b8869

Answer 1

It impairs the effectiveness of any particular task.

Explanation:

This is really a very broad topic, including a range of attitudes and behaviors of both men and women, and the gamut of "work" activities.

But in general, anything that impedes the efficient and effective accomplishment of a task is detrimental to that task. Thus, whether sexism specifically or any other type of prejudice, bias, or bigotry that negatively affects the interaction of workers, it is a detractor.

The discussion of why sexism exists, it's range of expressions and specific impacts in particular areas of work or society are far beyond the time and space for this response.
