  What does "benevolently sexist" mean?
  • DanBC 14y ago
    "Women are whores and bitches" is malevolent sexism. "Women are nurturing, and thus cannot be front line soldiers" is possibly benevolent sexism. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambivalent_Sexism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambivalent_Sexism)

      OK, Thanks. Paternalism: Hostile/Dominative: Men should control women. Benevolent/Protective: Men should protect and care for women. Gender Differentiation: Hostile/Competitive: Men are superior to women. Benevolent/Complementary: places importance on traditional gender roles for women (e.g., mother & wife). Assumes that men depend on women to fulfill these roles. Heterosexual hostility: views women as sexual objects for men’s pleasure. Promotes the fear of women’s capacity to manipulate men by engaging in or withholding sexual activity. Intimate heterosexuality: romanticizes women as having sexually purity. Views romantic intimacy as necessary to complete a man.
