Ground Rules

Sexism

prejudice or discrimination based on a person’s (perceived) sex or gender

Sexism

What is Sexism?

"Sexism is prejudice or discrimination against a person or group based on their sex or gender. It primarily affects women and femmes, and it is the root cause of gender inequity worldwide.

What is it?

Hostile Sexism

Examples:

  • Gender based violence
  • Domestic Violence
  • Sexual Assault
  • using sexist language or insults
  • making threatening or aggressive comments based on a person’s gender or sex
  • harassing or threatening someone for defying gender norms, online or offline
  • treating people as subordinates based on their sex or gender and punishing them when they “step out of line”
  • believing that some victims of sexual assault “ask for it” due to their behavior or clothing

Hostile

"This refers to beliefs and behaviors that are openly hostile toward a group of people based on their sex or gender. Misogyny, or the hatred of women, is an example of hostile sexism."

Benevolent Sexism

EXAMPLES:

  • basing a woman’s value on her role as a mother, wife, or girlfriend
  • focusing attention and praise on someone’s appearance rather than their other attributes
  • believing that people should not do things for themselves, such as manage money or drive a car, because of their gender
  • assuming that a person is a nurse, assistant, or secretary — not a doctor, executive, or manager — based on their gender
  • supporting policies that make it difficult for women to work, have independence, or deviate from traditional gender roles

Benevolent

"Benevolent sexism can be less obvious. It is a more socially accepted form and is much more likely to be endorsed by men and women. However, despite its name, this type of sexism is not truly benevolent."

Benevolent sexism includes views and behaviors that frame women as:

  • innocent
  • pure
  • caring and nurturing
  • fragile and in need of protection
  • "beautiful" aka Euro-Centric Beauty Standards

Misogyny

Misogyny

a cultural attitude of hatred for women and femmes

Examples of Misogyny

slut shaming

degradation of gender or gender expression

rape culture

gender-based slurs

Examples

benevolent chivalry

devaluing femininity, femmes, and women

Institutional

Misogynoir

  • misogyny rooted in anti-Blackness
  • "The specific hatred, dislike, distrust, and prejudice directed toward Black women"

-Moya Bailey, activist who coined the term

Misogynoir

"Misogynoir: How We Talk About Black Women"

  • https://www.brut.media/us/international/misogynoir-how-we-talk-about-black-women-941e8910-6f7f-4705-ae9d-1230da76406b

Video

Consequences of Misogynoir

Examples:

Serena Williams' treatment from the tennis community i.e. her catsuit ban

Black women are viewed as threatening or angry whenever they speak up for themselves.

Victoria Secret Karen

They follow the advice of “authorities” only if they trust that person’s expertise.

Consequences of Misogynoir

Doctors perceive Black woman as having a higher pain threshold, and so they are treated differently.

The 2020 Olympic Committee and media's treatment of Black women, including Olympians

  • Naomi Osaka
  • Caster Semenya
  • Gwen Berry
  • Simone Biles

Maternal mortality rates for Black women are three times higher than for white women in the United States, with many attributing that to racial bias in the healthcare system.

Readings

You may already know this!

Academics and Social Scientists love to theorize on people's experiences and create terminology for those experiences.

So, none of this is new! Even if you're just being introduced to these terms for the first time, many of you may already be really familiar with these experiences because you experience them, have seen them, or have heard stories of them.
