Allport’s antipathy-based definition cannot capture sexism, which lacks pure hostility

Evidence

Allport’s (1954/1979) discussion focused on ethnic and religious prejudice, primarily racism and anti-Semitism. Antipathy toward a group as a whole (and its individual members) thus formed the core of Allport’s definition of prejudice. In contrast, he ignored (with one brief exception, pp. 33–4) a prejudice that targets about half the population, namely sexism, whose nature poses a critical challenge to defining prejudice as an antipathy. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 176

Categorization

• QUESTION: If sexism escaped an antipathy definition, do subtler benevolent forms of the Islamophobia and antisemitism clusters also evade detection by hostility-only instruments?
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice: Fifty Years…, 176
