Alice EvansDo women exaggerate discrimination, complain too much, seek special favours, & do feminists want to usurp men?
In this US public opinion survey by @AngieMaxwell & Shields,
African American men are the least sexist.
32% of white women in the USA endorse “modern sexism”.
(vs 16% of African American women)
Public opinion surveys on gender typically ask about presumed competence, e.g. are men better political leaders?
This ignores an important social phenomenon: anti-feminism.
This is a backlash against women demanding too much, getting too many privileges, and usurping men.
Sam@draliceevans I think it is important to take the concept of preference falsification on board, including the resentment it creates. To learn to manage political evolutions and fall out. It was new to me. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2otokINIF90gDlpbPxeGfk?si=D0nZFD9NQCuEyNbesxDDIw&utm_source=copy-link
A Conspiracy of Silence
Listen to this episode from Hidden Brain on Spotify. We all self-censor at times. We keep quiet at dinner with our in-laws, or nod passively in a work meeting. But what happens when we take this deception a step further, and pretend we believe the opposite of what we really feel? In this favorite episode from 2020, economist and political scientist Timur Kuran explains how our personal, professional and political lives are shaped by the fear of what other people think.If you like this show, please check out our new podcast, My Unsung Hero!
