Some prejudices involve positive affect combined with low respect
Evidence
Late twentieth-century research made clear that some prejudices are not marked by negative attitudes. Empirical work not only documented subtle, “modern” prejudices toward many racial and ethnic minorities, but also revealed positive attitudes toward women, who are better liked even if less respected than men. These prejudices are ambivalent, not uniformly hostile. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 180
