Proverbs are popular and wise sayings. These two marked features make them intriguing and worth the time and effort put into their analysis; they reflect how people’s traditions and thoughts on a specific matter. For this reason, this paper is devoted to analyzing ten English proverbs in order to unearth how the English-speaking countries (have) viewed men and women. However, what makes this paper slightly different from most of the research which has been done on proverbs is that it employs an analytical tool—which is called Equating and Contrasting—taken from critical stylistics to uncover sexist ideologies in English proverbs. The critical-stylistic analysis has shown that English proverbs construct a world in which men and women are equated to specific entities and contrasted with others. Furthermore, men and women are stereotyped in English proverbs which emphasize different notions when it comes to dealing with men and women.
