What is meant by “ambivalent sexism” is “the carrot and the stick of patriarchy”?
Ambivalent sexism works to identify the dissonance and misguided aspects of sexism. Ambivalent sexism is seen on a spectrum between hostile sexist views and benevolent sexist views. This spectrum works to identify the subtle prejudices and inequalities that are made against women. An example would be holding genuinely positive views towards women and accrediting them to egalitarian beliefs, which simultaneously scapegoating them for their true reasons of paternalism. Similar to the modern racist, an ambivalent sexist view the discrepancies and inequalities between the two sexes as a thing of the past. Symbolic views that have been preserved throughout time work …show more content…
The women are wonderful effect was created through the research found in Alice Eagly’s study that found that women and men both assigned positive traits more to women than men. The results showed that both men and women attributed positive traits to each other when analyzing occupational information. Furthermore, the absence of such occupational information demonstrated traits as being viewed more positive towards women, falling in line with many communal and stereotypical beliefs. Moreover, this could be a result of benevolent sexism. However, it's worth mentioning that it wasn’t just men who willingly attributed these positive stereotypical traits but women as well. These attributes are widely accepted and seem to inherently run deeper than just the viewpoints of men or women, but rather deeply ingrained societal stereotypes. This shows while this effect doesn’t apply to all women, it can be applied to a majority given the comorbid and shared …show more content…
Therefore newer generations of men are descendants of men who have successfully committed sexual assault in the past, consequently preserving and passing down the genetic behavior. Some arguments against it address the assumptions that come with Thornhill’s theory. Initially, his theory assumes that when Rape occurs, ejaculation is present, that the majority of rape victims are fertile females, and that genetic implications play a determining part in such a behavior. The argument against addresses how sexual behavior is much more complex than the simplistic evolutionary perspective that Thornhill suggests. Additionally, Thornhill makes no allowances for sexual assault victims that aren't childbearing, which inherently discludes
