Question

At work, Julie is often told, "Get out of the way, this is man’s work, little woman." Her coworkers will often belittle her when she makes a tiny mistake, but let it slide when another man makes a similar mistake. Julie is experiencing ________ sexism

Answer 1

Answer:

Hostile

Explanation:

Hostile sexism is the negative attitudes that people develop towards individuals who violate traditional gender stereotypes. For example, teasing a boy who plays with dolls is an expression of hostile sexism. In most cases, it's regarded as antipathy toward women who violate traditional gender norms. In the case of Julie, other men workers perceive that Julie has violated traditional gender norms by doing men's work. Therefore, this is a clear example of hostile sexism.
