Allport omitted sexism, the prejudice targeting half the population, from his analysis

Evidence

Allport defined the target of prejudice as a social group in general – for example, Jews, African Americans, Latinos, Japanese, and poor people. His emphasis on negativity was in part a byproduct of the extreme prejudices to which he paid the most attention, such as those that produced the Holocaust and lynchings. … 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 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

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 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
