Allport’s prejudice framework largely ignored gender bias

Evidence

Nevertheless, in part because of the social conditions at the time he wrote his book (see Eagly & Diekman’s chapter 2 in this volume), there are aspects of prejudice that Allport completely overlooked. In particular, although Allport considered biases toward many groups (e.g., based on race, religion, and occupation), he largely ignored gender bias. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 739
