People more easily detect male discrimination against women than female discrimination against men because the former more closely resembles their discrimination

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The idea being conveyed is that people have a mental image or prototype of what discrimination against women looks like based on their own experiences and cultural/social norms. Therefore, acts of male discrimination against women (which are more similar to the prototype) are more easily recognized and detected than acts of female discrimination against men (which may not fit the prototype as well). This relates to the concept of prototypes in cognitive psychology. The other answer options do not accurately describe this phenomenon.
