ambivalent sexism  

Definición

  • Ambivalent sexism, a subtle but effective method of keeping the gender equality gap from shrinking, contains two complementary belief systems about women that have the contrasting valences of subjective benevolence and hostility. Benevolent sexism masks the more overt hostile sexism by giving seemingly caring reasons for discriminatory behaviors toward women.
