Smiling Men Sexist At Women In A Different Way From Frowning Men

“A new study suggests that watching how a man smiles and talks to a female will give you a good idea on the man’s true attitude towards the female sex.” Groups of men and women were observed playing a trivia game together. Result? “[M]ore hostile sexist men were perceived as less approachable and less friendly in their speech. Men with more hostile sexism also smiled less during the interaction. On the other hand, those who displayed benevolent sexism were rated to be more approachable, warmer, friendlier, and more likely to smile. They also used more positive emotional words and were overall more patient while waiting for a woman to answer trivia questions.” What about men who displayed neither hostile nor benevolent sexism? Hahaha, you’re funny today.
