• W4226019206 abstract "The romanticization of a harmless form of sexism, as a gesture of love and affection, has taken the form of benevolent sexism. This is apparent while considering examples of compliments that are a reflection of affection and are pleasant to the ears. But, do all compliments always make you feel at ease? “Stop degrading women, they are beautiful and fragile”. Or “women have motherly nurturing instincts”. The essence of these compliments is rooted in perpetuating the superiority of one gender over the other. A classic example is the framework of chivalry which seems to be men protecting women from other men. However, women do not get chivalry for free. She needs to civilize her conduct. For women, civilized conduct implies chastity before marriage and fidelity within marriage. Chivalrous conduct in men is intended to maintain chastity from unintentional sinfulness. As far as the law on this issue is concerned, the Supreme Court of India, in the ground-breaking judgement of Joseph Shine vs. Union of India, specifically argued that romantic paternalism cages women instead of protecting them. Similarly, the Supreme Court of the USA‚ in Frontiero vs. Richardson stated, paternalistic or over-protective legislation was considered unconstitutional. Such paternalistic policies are detrimental to gender equality in the long run, even though protectionist measures seem desirable and justifiable on the face of it. Provisions such as these turn the screw for the same oppressive rhetoric to continue. Repetition and constant reference to such oppressive provisions and decisions perpetuate the prejudices of a particular gender. They bind gender adjectives, which are challenging to discredit. They also represent a type of confirmation bias based on which the provisions are codified, and the decisions perpetuate the gender position in the garb of defence. Both benevolent sexism and romantic paternalism, although subjectively optimistic as ideologies, have negative implications for equal rights. Though helpful, the idea that women are “pure, gentle, frail or fragile” is misleading and detrimental in the long run. The negative effects of benevolent sexism are seen in several contexts today. In this background, this paper argues that benevolent sexism has been masquerading behind the macho thing a male can do, i.e.‚ be chivalrous. Though seemingly harmless, this paper argues that this is a tool to oppress the fairer sex. This paper aims to elucidate what benevolent sexism means and the evils of it. The paper‚ tries to study various judgements and legislation to show how benevolent sexism operates in the sphere of law. It will also shed light on the implications of such legal language and legislation." @default.
