Sexist Discourse of Generic Identity

The fact that we are born as women & men necessarily means that we live different lives. Relying on developed feminist approaches that problematize relations of power distribution between genders, the author tries to present a sexist discourse, which can be recognized in awareness of the Croatian population in variants of traditional & modern forms, in a series of social relations -- individuals, family, work at home & on the market, politics, etc. The disclosure of sexist discourse of generic identity in a Croatian society has been carried out using empirical data on opinions of Croatian citizens, according to the conceptual model of "traditional" & "modern" sexism. The goal was to establish the basic structure of sexist concepts & the influence of other variables (marital status, regional identity, age & educational differences) on these concepts. Major results have confirmed the thesis that the mainly male, older & with a poorer education part of the Croatian population are those who in their awareness cultivate specific cultural & modern sexisms, with which they harmonize with the core of very numerous scientific papers on this topic with matching results. 3 Tables, 59 References.
