Indeed, use of the phrase "benevolent sexism" for this is in fact an example of "benevolent sexism" (because nobody would use that phrase to refer to sexism in favor of men).
- topaz0 4y agoAs has been pointed out elsewhere, benevolent sexism is a technical term in the field, and is just as applicable to situations where positive traits are assigned to men as it is when positive traits are assigned to women. It has nothing to do with judging about the moral status of the sexism.
- Veen 4y agoBut it doesn't apply where negative traits are assigned to men, which is what this study partially shows.
- nilkn 4y ago> [it] is just as applicable to situations where positive traits are assigned to men as it is when positive traits are assigned to women Can you point out some examples of such usage for men? Any paper I've found so far defines it specifically in terms of women.
