Sexist towards men.
Next set of questions.
We're almost done.
Do you think it would be a good or bad thing if men mostly agreed with the sentiment of the following statements?
A good woman should be sat on a pedestal.
Okay.
Women should be cherished and protected by men.
Men should sacrifice to provide for women.
In a disaster, women need to be rescued first.
Every man ought to have a woman he adores.
Men are incomplete without women.
Yeah, good.
Despite accomplishment, men are incomplete without women.
And people are often happy without romance.
Okay.
You are a massive benevolent sexist.
Those are the items on the benevolent sexism scale.
And I polled all my followers on this and they, like you, believed that the statements were either sexist to men or a good thing.
So it kind of begs this question of what is this scale measuring?
So this is an idea that Tanya and I and some other colleagues are working on that we call The Mismeasurement of Men.
