How Sexy are Sexist Men? Women’s Perception of Male Response Profiles in the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (2010, background): “Research demonstrates that benevolentsexist beliefs and acts may have particularly debilitating effects on women, e.g., by hampering women’ sj ob performance (Dardenne et al. 2007), or predicting the extent to which students blamed the female victim of an acquaintance rape ( Abrams et al. 2003 ).”
