SEXISM IN THE WORKPLACE
Mosier, A. E. (2019). The effects of ambient benevolent sexism and its implications in the workplace.
           Benevolent sexism is a gender evaluation that can be mistaken for being positive but instead has a detrimental effect on one gender. The acts on this type of sexism are mistaken for being positive in that they provide an umbrella, which makes it appear as if they are helping the affected gender thrive, but in a real sense, they are changing it negatively. Mosier, in the book, “The effects of ambient benevolent sexism and its implications in the workplace,” published in 2019, did a study to figure out the presence and effects of benevolent sexism on women in the workplace. The study sought to understand how women felt and reacted to benevolent sexism.
           The objectives of the study, which facilitated the writing of the book, sought to understand how women related the outcomes seen and the sexism conditions. In the book, Mosier stated that he realized that the research showed that there were no direct effects of outcome variables set/discovered to sexism conditions at the workplace. The responses are given also showed that women were not significantly affected by benevolent sexism since they could not figure out its relationship with the outcomes. Mosier argued that relating the results to benevolent sexism would only affect the women more.
           The book can be used as a secondary source since the arguments are not based on first-hand information but from an analysis of data from different respondents. I find the arguments logical in the sense that most people, given the social settings and nature settings, are not able to relate benevolent sexism to some of the things they go through. People even appreciate it to some extent. Comparing it to some outcomes will only affect women more than before connecting it. The argument relates to my research where women are subject to sexism at the workplace, but sometimes they don’t realize. Yes, it is negative, but their lack of knowledge makes the effects less detrimental.
Thomas, K. R. (2017). Understanding Women's Experiences of Sexism in the Modern Workplace (Doctoral dissertation, The George Washington University).
           Thomas made the publication as a Doctoral dissertation for George Washington University. The research sought to find mechanisms through which overt and subtle sexism affects women’s careers negatively and cause them detrimental psychological effects. Overt sexism is a form of sexism whereby there is a flagrant display of attitudes of dislike towards the opposite gender. Subtle sexism is a form of sexism which constitutes biased behaviors and treatments based on gender differences.
           The argument for the research outlines the carious impacts of sexism in the workplace on women. He analyzed how it has limited women’s careers while they are looked at from a sexists’ eye. The source can be categorized as a secondary source since the arguments by Thomas are based on collecting information from different respondents, and the content and cases are made from an analysis of the collected data.
           Thomas, after the research, discovered that subtle sexism had more significant effects than overt sexism. The argument for this is based on the evidence that apparent is open; hence, the affected gender, women, are aware of what they are facing, therefore, put in place mechanisms to protect themselves. Subtle is a silent one not as flagrant as overt. Women are affected since they do not see any problem with the treatment they get since the sexism is hidden. I relate it to my thesis in that women are faced with some forms of sexism that affect them much, yet they are not aware of what it is they are going through.
The Brussel Times, (2019). 6 out of 10 women in Europe victims of workplace sexism according to a new survey. It was published on Saturday, 12 October 2019.
           The publication was made on The Brussel Times on October 12, 2019. The article titled, “6 out of 10 women in Europe victims of workplace sexism according to new survey” is a report on a survey that was conducted to figure out the number of victims of sexism. The study was influenced by various stories that were made on how sexism had become common in workplaces. The survey was conducted by Jean Jaures Foundation and the Foundation of European Progressive Studies. The study was done in European countries, which include France, German, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Just like the title reads, the survey discovered just how many women...
