          Abstract

          En este artículo se estudió la relación entre el miedo a la violación y el sexismo benévolo en 2 muestras de mujeres de Ciudad Juárez (México). Usando un diseño correlacional, en el Estudio 1 (N = 225 mujeres) se encontró que cuanto mayor es el miedo a la violación, mayores puntuaciones se obtienen en sexismo benévolo, pero no en sexismo hostil. En el Estudio 2 (N = 188 mujeres) se manipuló experimentalmente el miedo considerando 3 condiciones: miedo a la violación, miedo al crimen y condición control. Los resultados corroboraron el efecto causal del miedo a la violación sobre el sexismo benévolo de las mujeres. Se discute cómo el miedo a la violación, a través de sus efectos sobre el sexismo benévolo, puede contribuir al mantenimiento de la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres.

          Translated abstract

          A study was conducted on the relationship between fear of rape and benevolent sexism in 2 samples of women from Ciudad Juarez (Mexico). Using a correlational design, in Study 1 (N = 225 women) it was found that fear of rape was positively related with benevolent sexism, but it was not related with hostile sexism. In Study 2 (N = 188 women) fear was experimentally manipulated using 3 experimental conditions: fear of rape, fear of crime, and a control group. Results showed that there was a casual effect of fear of rape on benevolent sexism shown by women. A discussion is presented on how fear of rape, through its effects on benevolent sexism, could contribute to maintain gender inequality between men and women.

          Insidious dangers of benevolent sexism: consequences for women's performance.

          Four experiments found benevolent sexism to be worse than hostile sexism for women's cognitive performance. Experiments 1-2 showed effects of paternalist benevolent sexism and ruled out explanations of perceived sexism, context pleasantness, and performance motivation. Experiment 3 showed effects of both paternalist and complementary gender differentiation components of benevolent sexism. Benevolent sexism per se (rather than the provision of unsolicited help involved in paternalism) worsened performance. Experiment 4 showed that impaired performance due to benevolent sexism was fully mediated by the mental intrusions women experienced about their sense of competence. Additionally, Experiment 4 showed that gender identification protected against hostile but not benevolent sexism. Despite the apparently positive and inoffensive tone of benevolent sexism, our research emphasizes its insidious dangers.

              It's for Your Own Good: Benevolent Sexism and Women's Reactions to Protectively Justified Restrictions

              Three studies examined women's reactions to ostensibly protective restrictions. In Study 1, only benevolently sexist women accepted a protectively justified (hypothetical) prohibition against driving on a long trip, but only when imposed by a husband (not a coworker). In Study 2, when women's actual romantic partners opposed their participation in a practicum counseling dangerous men, most reacted positively to a personalized protective justification ("I am concerned for your safety"), but only benevolently sexist women reacted positively when no justification was given. In Study 3, only benevolently sexist women accepted an explicitly group-based protective justification ("It is not safe for any woman") for a partner's imagined opposition to an internship that involved interviewing criminals. By fusing benevolence with dominance, protective paternalism can lead women (especially those who are high on benevolent sexism) to accept restrictions.
