Modern Sexism Scale (MSS)

The Modern Sexism Scale measures subtle, often socially acceptable forms of sexism that deny or downplay gender inequality. It assesses negative attitudes toward gender-related policies and beliefs that sexism is no longer a significant issue.

The Neo-Sexism Scale evaluates covert and modern forms of sexism that express resistance to gender equality, often through rationalizations that appear neutral or non-prejudiced. It closely relates to the Modern Sexism Scale by addressing similar subtle biases.

Examples of modern sexism include believing that gender equality has already been achieved or that efforts to promote women's rights are unnecessary. It also includes viewing discussions about sexism as exaggerated or irrelevant.
