Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes exactly with sexism /ˈsɛksɪzəm/. They are useful lookalikes because they share the -ism spelling and final /ɪzəm/, but their stressed vowels or stress positions differ. For example, racism /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ and criticism /ˈkrɪtɪsɪzəm/ do not share the /ɛksɪzəm/ sound of sexism; pessimism /ˈpɛsɪmɪzəm/ is the closest but has /pɛsɪm/ rather than /sɛksɪ/.
