Question Ambivalent sexism
I 'm very critical of this link.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambivalent_sexism

Personally I strongly believe women prefer "hostile sexists" rather "benevolent sexists"

When i read the whole article i become very critical of this points:

How this is negative when women want to be dominated,objectified,and [email protected] by strong men but not equal men(this makes them inferior not equal)?: "Hostile sexism reflects overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes about a gender (e.g., the ideas that women are incompetent and inferior to men)"

Feminist scholars? Ideology in science,wtf?: "...historians, anthropologists, feminist scholars, and psychologists..."

Feminist BS?:"... Hostile sexism reflects misogyny (i.e., the hatred of women by men)...."

Comforting propably yes, Getting sex propably no.: "..benevolent sexism may be seen by both men and women as reinforcing of the status quo, which some individuals may find comforting.."

Same here in bold, we know women want controlling(dominant),superior than them,and get objectified by men: "Within hostile sexism (HS) and benevolent sexism (BS), the three subcomponents serve distinct functions. Dominative paternalism (HS) suggests that men should control women, while protective paternalism (BS) implies that men should protect and care for women. Competitive gender differentiation (HS) bolsters men's self-confidence (e.g., men are superior to women). Complementary gender differentiation (BS) places importance on traditional gender roles for women (e.g., mother & wife) and assumes that men depend on women to fulfill these roles. Lastly, heterosexual hostility (HS) views women as sexual objects for men's pleasure and promotes the fear of women's capacity to manipulate men by engaging in or withholding sexual activity. Intimate heterosexuality (BS) romanticizes women as having sexual purity and views romantic intimacy as necessary to complete a man"

This is a survey, and we know that women are not rational: Women find men high in benevolent sexism attractive, and rate men high in ambivalent sexism as less attractive.

Women are not made for work, very simple. But an interesting fact if you change the word "women" with "men" explains a lot, I mean men who prefer hostile sexism tent to be more hard working rather men who prefer benevolent sexism in the workplace.

Women in the workplace

While the consequences of hostile sexism in the workplace are more widely known and accepted, research has shown that benevolent sexism may have a more severe impact on a women's cognitive performance.[14] Researchers suggested that hostile sexism can elicit anger or frustration in the target, which may increase her motivation to succeed or perform. Benevolent sexism, because of its seemingly positive evaluations and implicit attributions, is likely to hinder a woman's confidence and performance. The researchers showed that, in a typical team working environment, hostile sexism as well as benevolent sexism had consequences for the participant's performance. Masser and Abrams (2004) highlighted the fact that previous research has shown that benevolent sexism can have detrimental effects on a woman's performance evaluation if that woman violates social norms associated with certain sexist attitudes.[28] Their study showed that hostile sexism, but not benevolent sexism, hurt women's evaluations and recommendations for promotion.

Any ideas?

Sorry for bad english...

RE: Ambivalent sexism
Your English is not bad, but ability to introduce with the topic and the ability to define used terminology is.

Very hard to understand what are you talking about and why.

Read forum rules about how to make threads, also repeat your literature classes.
