They only mention benevolent sexism in the article, certainly. It warrants further study. It's certainly an interesting line of research, as it's difficult to understand what would make any woman believe herself to be inferior to men; at least without having been conditioned to think that by their upbringing. There certainly doesn't seem to have been anything in my grandmother's past that would have led her to truly believe such a thing, and yet it wa s a belief that she clearly expressed many times.

It does seem illogical though. If you're that vain, why would you think so much less of yourself? Maybe that's where some of their anger comes from.
