Preferred term
role of power in sexism
Definition
- Sexism is a bias or prejudice based upon gender categorization that comprises beliefs (e.g., stereotypes about women and men), emotions (e.g., more negative or positive feelings toward one sex), and behavior (e.g., discriminatory hiring practices) that promote and maintain gender inequality. As social role theory notes, gender hierarchy both fosters and, in turn, is reinforced through sexist beliefs, emotional reactions, and behavior.
