Since ancient times, people in various countries of the world have had different views on the nature of women and men. Discrimination against women exists in many different fields, such as medicine, science, and engineering. Even in theology, philosophy, and scientific beliefs, women are considered weaker and men are more mature and rational. In recent years, in China, whether it is the severe employment situation in the post-epidemic era or the liberalization of the two-child and three-child policies, the problem of discrimination against women in the workplace has aggravated, making it a topic of widespread concern in society. In the following paper, analyzes the previous data and investigates the situation, and I will analyze the current situation and causes of sexism in China through the awareness of this issue. Despite the rapid development of society, discrimination against women is still inevitable, and the number of women working as scientists and doctors is still relatively low.
