The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory is a questionaire created by feminists that tries to measure hostile and benevolent sexism.
The researchers define hostile sexism as negative or resentful attitudes and stereotypes about women and feminism. They define benevolent sexism as attitudes and stereotypes about women that are superficially positive, but are in fact condescending, patronizing, and idealizing, and hamper women's independence.
I think many of us would take issue with some of the hostile sexism statements included in the quiz (especially about feminism). I think most of us would strongly agree with the researchers' idea of benevolent sexism and strongly disagree with those statements, though.
One thing I really like about the questionaire is that it calls out some unreasonable demands made of men and some female privileges.
