/sci/ - Science & Math

People of /sci/, lets engage in some actual psychology pseudo science just for fun. If anything, this will be fucking interesting.

Here is an article that has two parts. First, it shortly describes what it calls 'hostile sexism' and benevolent sexism. If you don't want to read the horseshit author let me summarize

Hositle sexism: "Discimination" that supposedly harms women.
Benevolent sexism: "Discrimination" that supposedlt benefits women.

I'm sure you can construct your own examples.

Then it has a short personality test type quiz that rates your degree of hostile sexism and benevolent sexism.

Post your scores and feel free to criticize the questions (there's a lot of shitty ones), the methodology, etc. I got

2.83/5.00 of hostile sexism.
0.00/5.00 of benevolent sexism.

The 0/5 makes sense to me, over the years I've become pretty chill and I've grown out of the phase of being weirdly nice to women just so that they like you back. It is better to just be neutral and let things happen as they go, it takes less energy.

The 2.83/5 kinda outrages me because there is nothing I answered that could harm women. For example, one of the questions is 'Do you think women are morally superior to men' and I answered 'strongly disagree'. My logic is that women are not morally superior, we are all morally equal, but I get the feeling that the test interprets my answer as if I think women are morally inferior to men, which is fucking weird.

So yeah, it is pretty biased and made by feminists but who cares, it is science. Pseudoscience but still, science.

Also please don't start any of your comments with

We don't give a shit about your gender, just go right to the substance of whatever point you want to get across.
