Evidence 3: Sexism and Patriarchy: Definitions and Forms

# data[].attributes.body
The last piece of evidence I was able to find was a quote from a video called Sexism and Patriarchy: Definitions and Forms from http://study.com by Wind Goodfriend she explained and gave examples of patriarchy, gave the definition for sexism and patriarchy, the different forms of sexism, the differences of patriarchy and matriarchy, and how it functions in our world a quote that I found useful was, "Many social scientist argue that patriarchies are so popular because most cultures throughout history have given men more power than women"(Wind Goodfriend, 3:21) Many people know more about patriarchy societies because most societies follow that idea. Is very popular because our history has always given men power instead of women. It also stated that there is more patriarchy societies than matriarchy societies. Matriarchy societies being the opposite of patriarchy so instead of men having the power the women have the power.

Evidence 2: Beliefs About Wife Beating Among Turkish College Students

# data[].attributes.body
A second piece of evidence is from an educational website titled

Beliefs About Wife Beating Among Turkish College Students: The Effects of Patriarchy, Sexism, and Sex Differences by Nuray Sakall from link.springer.com . Sakall talked about how patriarchy changed the view of Turkish college students on how they viewed the topic of wife beating a quote I retrieved from that website is, "...male participants exhibited more approval of wife beating than did female participants. Further, male participants who had more favorable attitudes toward patriarchy and who were high on hostile sexism viewed wife beating as more acceptable and blamed women for eliciting the violence"(Sakall, 6). This quote explains that males who are more accepting towards patriarchy are more accepting of wife beating. Another quote I got from Sakall is,"Regression analysis showed that patriarchy and hostile sexism predicted attitudes toward wife beating the best" (Sakall, 9). This quote are stating that men agree of beating up their wives because patriarchy tells them that they have power.

Beliefs About Wife Beating Among Turkish College Students: The Effects of Patriarchy, Sexism, and Sex Differences - Sex Roles

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description

Two hundred twenty-one Turkish undergraduate students from Middle East Technical University filled out questionnaires measuring attitudes toward wife beating, hostile and benevolent sexism, and support for patriarchy.

This quote was retrieved from a textbook of Saylor Academy from saylordotorg.github.io that talked about how feminist viewed sexism and what they thought about and it stated, "...patriarchy (male domination) lies at the root of women's oppression..." (Saylor Academy, 5). This quote is stating that the reason that women get oppressed is because patriarchy exists and meanwhile patriarchy exist women are going to keep on getting oppressed. The author continued by saying "Patriarchy itself must be abolished, they say, if women are to become equal to men"(Saylor Academy, 5). It is stating that if we want women and men to be equal we need to eliminate patriarchy which tells men that they have power the only way of having equality is to eliminate that idea.

4.2 Feminism and Sexism

Learning Objectives

1. Define feminism, sexism, and patriarchy.

2. Discuss evidence for a decline in sexism.

In the national General Social Survey (GSS), slightly more than one-third of the public agrees with this statement: "It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? If you are like the majority of college students, you disagree.

Today a lot of women, and some men, will say, "I'm not a feminist, but...," and then go on to add that they hold certain beliefs about women's equality and traditional gender roles that actually fall into a feminist framework. Their reluctance to self-identify as feminists underscores the negative image that feminists and feminism have but also suggests that the actual meaning of feminism may be unclear.

Feminism and sexism are generally two sides of the same coin. FeminismThe belief that women and men should be equal. refers to the belief that women and men should have equal opportunities in economic, political, and social life, while sexismThe belief that women are inferior to men. refers to a belief in traditional gender role stereotypes and in the inherent inequality between men and women. Sexism thus parallels the concept of racial and ethnic prejudice discussed in Chapter 3 "Racial and Ethnic Inequality". Women and people of color are both said, for biological and/or cultural reasons, to lack certain qualities for success in today's world.

Feminism as a social movement began in the United States during the abolitionist period before the Civil War. Elizabeth Cady Stanton (left) and Lucretia Mott (right) were outspoken abolitionists who made connections between slavery and the oppression of women.

Two feminist movements in US history have greatly advanced the cause of women's equality and changed views about gender. The first began during the abolitionist period, when abolitionists such as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton began to see similarities between slavery and the oppression of women. This new women's movement focused on many issues but especially the right to vote, which women won in 1920. The second major feminist movement began in the late 1960s, as women active in the Southern civil rights movement turned their attention to women's rights, and it is still active today. This movement has profoundly changed public thinking and social and economic institutions, but, as we will soon see, much gender inequality remains.

Several varieties of feminism exist. Although they all share the basic idea that women and men should be equal in their opportunities in all spheres of life, they differ in other ways (Hannam, 2012). Liberal feminism believes that the equality of women can be achieved within our existing society by passing laws and reforming social, economic, and political institutions. In contrast, socialist feminism blames capitalism for women's inequality and says that true gender equality can result only if fundamental changes in social institutions, and even a socialist revolution, are achieved. Radical feminism, on the other hand, says that patriarchyMale domination. (male domination) lies at the root of women's oppression and that women are oppressed even in noncapitalist societies. Patriarchy itself must be abolished, they say, if women are to become equal to men. Finally, multicultural feminism emphasizes that women of color are oppressed not only because of their gender but also because of their race and class. They thus face a triple burden that goes beyond their gender. By focusing their attention on women of color in the United States and other nations, multicultural feminists remind us that the lives of these women differ in many ways from those of the middle-class women who historically have led US feminist movements.

The Growth of Feminism and the Decline of Sexism

What evidence is there for the impact of the contemporary women's movement on public thinking? The GSS, the Gallup poll, and other national surveys show that the public has moved away from traditional views of gender toward more modern ones. Another way of saying this is that the public has moved from sexism toward feminism.

To illustrate this, let's return to the GSS statement that it is much better for the man to achieve outside the home and for the woman to take care of home and family. Figure 4.2 "Change in Acceptance of Traditional Gender Roles in the Family, 1977-2010" shows that agreement with this statement dropped sharply during the 1970s and 1980s before leveling off afterward to slightly more than one-third of the public.

Another GSS question over the years has asked whether respondents would be willing to vote for a qualified woman for president of the United States. As Figure 4.3 "Change in Willingness to Vote for a Qualified Woman for President" illustrates, this percentage rose from 74 percent in the early 1970s to a high of 96.2 percent in 2010. Although we have not yet had a woman president, despite Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic presidential primary campaign in 2007 and 2008 and Sarah Palin's presence on the Republican ticket in 2008, the survey evidence indicates the public is willing to vote for one. As demonstrated by the responses to the survey questions on women's home roles and on a woman president, traditional gender views have indeed declined.
