'An Easy Way to Help Tell How Sexist a Man Is'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Well now, this is revealing! A new study finds you can determine how sexist a man is -- whether the more hostile and malignant form, or the more benign and patronizing -- by how they smile towards women when they interact with them in social interactions -- and by the manner in which they speak to them in those situations.
...
"Benevolent sexism is like a wolf in sheep's clothing that perpetuates support for gender inequality among women at an interpersonal level," Hall adds. "These supposed gestures of good faith may entice women to accept the status quo in society because sexism literally looks welcoming, appealing, and harmless."

And that more insidious form of sexism, as well as the more blatant, is something against which both men and women should be aligned.'

First, the article doesn't define "sexism". Second, it doesn't say what the ratio of "sexist" men to non-"sexist" ones was found to be. Sounds like all men were presumed "sexist". Finally, where's the companion study doing the same thing re women?

Whenever I see junk science like this, I want to reach for a trash basket for use as a barf bucket.
