“…Given the cross-sectional nature of the data, we do not know if less sexist people have greater opportunities to reach higher levels of education or if education and the interpersonal relationships that are established around them make people have lower levels of AS. However, educational interventions aimed at reducing sexist attitudes have shown to be effective for adolescents [ 40 ], therefore demonstrating the essential role education has in fighting for equality between men and women [ 61 – 63 ].…”

Background On line platforms offer access to an almost unlimited variety of pornographic material that shows high levels of sexism. Despite this fact, there are still few studies that assess the effect of pornography on sexism in young adults The aim of this study is to analyze the association of pornography consumption and sexual orientation with benevolent sexism (BS) and hostile sexism (HS) in young men and women. Methods We surveyed 2,346 people aged 18–35 years old. Multiple regression models were carried out for BS and HS. The independent variables: current pornography consumption and sexual orientation. Covariates: socio-demographic variables -age, sex, level of education and place of birth-. Results A) HS: Men who consumed pornography had higher median values of HS than those who did not [β(95%CI):2.39(0.67;4.10)]. Homosexual/ bisexual men displayed lower values of HS than heterosexual men [β(95%CI):-2.98(-4.52;-1.45)]. The increase in HS levels associated with pornography consumption was notably greater in homosexual and bisexual women relative to heterosexual women, where that pattern was not observed [β(95%CI for interaction): 2.27(0.11; 4.43)]. B) BS: Mean values of BS were observed to be lower for both women [β(95%CI):-2.16(-2.99;-1.32)] and men [β(95%CI):-4.30(-5.75;-2.86)] who consumed pornography compared to those who did not. Homosexual/bisexual men recorded mean values of BS lower than heterosexual men [β(95%CI):-3.10(-4.21;-1.99)]. Conclusions Pornography consumption is related to sexism and differs according to sex and sexual orientation. As sexism is the substratum of inequality between men and women, it is urgent to launch affective-sexual education programs for young people that take into account the determinants of sexism.

“…Los resultados son preocupantes por sus implicaciones para la salud pública y la equidad de género. Sin embargo, el sexismo es un factor modulable a través de programas educativos 4,6,33,34 . Nuestros resultados reafirman la importancia de abordar el sexismo como estrategia para la prevención de la VP y considerar las variables asociadas en el dise ño de nuevas intervenciones.…”

“…Con la finalidad de hallar estas nuevas actitudes sexistas, que mantienen las desigualdades entre ambos sexos, se han venido desarrollando una serie de escalas o instrumentos que puedan identificar estas actitudes, como el Neosexismo [6]; Sexismo Moderno [7]; Sexismo Ambivalente [8], se tiene en cuenta que en todas estas escalas prima la idea de que existe un nuevo sexismo en sintonía con las nuevas formas de racismo moderno [9], donde esta nueva actitud se considera más sutil, ya que el conflicto surge a partir de la aceptación de los valores igualitarios y los sentimientos negativos hacia las mujeres. No obstante, [10], refieren que estas actitudes sexistas se combinan con sentimientos subjetivamente negativos y positivos hacia los sexos.…”

“…Se ha demostrado que los estereotipos de género, si bien se han ido flexibilizando con el tiempo, continúan arraigados en el imaginario de los jóvenes, legitimando desigualdades históricas y construyendo modelos asimétricos de género centrados en actitudes sexistas de masculinidad y feminidad heredados de la tradición [10]. Sin embargo, el tema sobre el sexismo es poco investigado debido a la idea o supuesto de que todos los hombres latinoamericanos, son machos, entonces para qué investigar tal concepto, y en otras poblaciones del mundo se considera al machismo una manifestación de la masculinidad, y que se considera un fenómeno común en los hombres.…”

A study is presented that analyzed the characteristics of sexism; a descriptive, non-experimental cross-sectional methodology was used. The sample consisted of 3004 randomly chosen university students. A measurement scale with 12 items was used that allowed us to understand the current situation of the students in relation to sexism. The results indicate that sexism in university students is low, statistically significant differences were found between men and women, however, both groups present low scores. Likewise, there are differences in sexism by professional career, where engineering students score higher than social science students and age correlates directly and low with the variable under study.
