Abstract :

[fr] L’idée que le sexisme puisse s’exprimer sous forme de bienveillance peut paraître surprenante. En effet, la représentation que nous avons habituellement d’une personne sexiste est celle d’un homme aux attitudes clairement hostiles à l’égard des femmes. Le but de cette revue de littérature est de mettre en évidence une forme plus subtile de sexisme, le sexisme bienveillant, qui renvoie à des attitudes sexistes subjectivement positives, teintées de galanterie et de condescendance. Plus précisément, ce travail insiste sur la nécessité de prendre en compte cette forme insidieuse de sexisme dans la compréhension des relations entre les genres et de la considérer comme un véritable processus de maintien des inégalités sociales entre les hommes et les femmes.
