paragraph 1 INTERNALISED MISOGYNY Flashcards
define misogyny
piggot 2004
cultural practice
serves to maintain power of the dominant male group via subordination of women
define internalised misogyny
piggot 2004
devaluation and distrust of women
favour of men
may be internalised via self objectification and passive acceptance of gender norms
Brandwatch findings
social intelligence company
screen up to 4m tweets made worldwide
52% misogynistic tweets posted by WOMEN > men
problem with brandwatch data
although were sure to screen for sarcasm etc-
not fully reflective of real life
fake comments / accounts
may represent extremes
importance of brandwatch findings
highlight that women themselves can perpetuate the existence of their oppression within society - culprits
reflection of internalised misogyny
- reinforce patriarchal norms via their own beh
Social Justification Theory
Jost and Banai 1994
Social Justification Theory
Describe
people act in a means that reinforces and follows the status quo - even when said behaviour reinforces privilege to those more advantaged individuals in society
human tendency to support the status quo and legitimise hierarchy
stereotypes/ideologies = ready-made justifications and excuses for the system
jost and banai study examples for SJT
rate presidential candidate as more desirable following upcoming election based on stats
latinos, asians and white students all more likely to opt for meetings with individuals with surnames of caucasian origin over alt
Miller and Ratner 1998
SJT
methodology
asked pps 4Qs on attitudes towards abortion coverage under what was alleged to be a president-clinton sponsored health plan
indicate on 7point scale - should the new plan have full coverage?
miller and ratner 1998
SJT
results
gender did no predict respondents attitude towards the plan
pps whose attitudes were incongruent with their vested interest (promale, antifemale) predicted that gender would influence peers attitudes as much as did those whose attitudes were congruent with their vested interest (profemale, antimale)
- although expect women to be for full coverate, females do not significantly favour more than men
miller and ratner 1998
SJT
explanation
political attitudes have little correspondence between self-interest and ideology
women are not much more likely to favour their own ingroup and more likely to act in order of the status quo
Correll et al 2002
SJT
method
videogame shooting paradigm
RT to “shoot” and “dont shoot”
pictures of european and african america individuals holding or not holding guns
Correll et al 2002
SJT
findings
when the target was armed, decide to shoot more quickly if AA than White
when target unarmed, press dont shoot faster if white than AA
AA just as likely as white to present an implicit antiblack bias in a shooting paradigm
Correll et al 2002
SJT
explanation
rapid categorisation of ethnicity into stereotypical schemas
Brewer 1988-
stereotypes interfere with the unfamiliar and less automatic gun/no gun judgement
the extent that one assoc AA with violence determines the conflict experienced when one percieves an AA and must muster a dont shoot response
importance of correll et al and miller and ratner
in female vote bias
studies identify that individuals who live in cultures which hold specific stereotypes are likely to act in accordance with said stereotypes, even if they are against their own marginalised group
reinforce the possibility that women, exposed to existing norms of male hierachy, may be likely to marginalise their own minority group as a function of implicit schemas - internalised misogyny about women
