The Psychological Underpinnings of Benevolent Sexism: A Comprehensive Exploration
A recent study by Clever Girl found that "benevolent sexism" (BS) can hurt women in the short and long term. Benevolent sexism is when someone (usually a man) says something that seems supportive and upbeat but is based on traditional gender stereotypes. Unlike hostile sexism or other overt forms of discrimination, it is unique in that it is often used with intentionally positive intentions and is usually interpreted as such by the recipient. For example, Carla and Alex have been anticipating their manager's annual performance reviews.

Heavy Loads and Short Fuses: Why You Shouldn’t Mess with Truck Drivers . AI-Generated.
There’s a silent menace rolling across America’s highways, and it’s not the eighteen wheels themselves but the human soul behind them.

Having both autism and ADHD, although similar, makes things a bit challenging for me sometimes. In fact, I was so taken by my thoughts that I created the images you see above and posted them online last night, a small echo of my soul reaching out for those other kindred spirits that understand the complexities of being who we are. I like being creative and expressing that, too. Sometimes I like to create collages with quotes on them or things I have said. I always love for it to reflect kind of how I am feeling in the moment.
