Hostile sexism We found a clear link between traditional attitudes towards women – such as that they should be concerned with their childbearing duties while men go to work – and higher scores on the rape myth acceptance scale, among both men and women. We also asked participants about their acceptance of other views, termed “hostile sexism” – the belief that women ought to be punished if they do not stick to traditional roles. Our findings suggest that interventions that target underlying factors such as traditional societal attitudes towards women could lead to less acceptance of rape myths and hopefully more reporting of sexual assaults. India’s introduction of a sex offenders register is a clear step towards improving women’s safety and it should start to discourage individuals from offending and help decrease the stigma surrounding sexual assault.
