What does "benevolently sexist" mean?

DanBC• 13 years ago

"Women are whores and bitches" is malevolent sexism. "Women are nurturing, and thus cannot be front line soldiers" is possibly benevolent 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.
