The paper:
The psychology of system justification and the palliative function of ideology
Some connections I'd like to highlight:
System justification often has opposite social psychological effects on members of advantaged and disadvantaged groups. For members of high-status or advantaged groups, system justification is generally associated with ingroup favouritism, increased self-esteem, and decreased ambivalence, depression, and neuroticism. For members of low-status groups, by contrast, system justification is generally associated with outgroup favouritism, ingroup ambivalence, decreased self-esteem, increased depression, and increased neuroticism.
-
outgroup favouritism --> "putting pussy on a pedestool"
-
ingroup ambivalence --> only a small (but growing) men's movement / homophobia (fag bashing) / "couples cults" where you're looked down on if you don't have a partner, possibily even gang violence rather than positive community activities?
-
decreased self-esteem --> "male disposability" "manginas"
-
increased depression / neuroticism --> male suicide rates?

Anyway, maybe this will help!
