You’re no doubt familiar with 'hostile sexism' – blatantly negative or restrictive attitudes towards women.
But there's another type of sexism it co-exists with - ‘benevolent sexism’ - which is sometimes harder to detect.
Benevolent sexism can be well-meaning and positive – describing women as natural nurturers or brilliant carers.
It's linked to notions of chivalry and romance - research suggests some women even find benevolent sexism attractive.
But these attitudes can still cause major harm to women in the workplace and the home.
