TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Gender-blind sexism and rape myth acceptance JO - Violence against women A1 - Stoll, Laurie Cooper A1 - Lilley, Terry Glenn A1 - Pinter, Kelly SP - 28 EP - 45 VL - 23 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this article is to explore whether gender-blind sexism, as an extension of Bonilla-Silva's racialized social system theory, is an appropriate theoretical framework for understanding the creation and continued prevalence of rape myth acceptance. Specifically, we hypothesize that individuals who hold attitudes consistent with the frames of gender-blind sexism are more likely to accept common rape myths. Data for this article come from an online survey administered to the entire undergraduate student body at a large Midwestern institution (N = 1,401). Regression analysis showed strong support for the effects of gender-blind sexism on rape myth acceptance.
