Hostile and benevolent sexism target different subtypes of women.

Evidence

But there is also evidence that female subtypes can explain the coincidence of hostile and benevolent sexism. Specifically, hostile sexism is directed toward career women and feminists, whereas benevolent sexism is directed toward traditional women (Glick, Diebold, Bailey-Werner, & Zhu, 1997). Thus, a way of synthesizing these lines of research is to dub it “the women are wonderful when” effect – when they are not in power. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 763
