Stališča mladih odraslih o feminizmu, seksizmu in enakosti spolov : magistrsko delo

Rudolf, Nika (avtor), Sobočan, Ana Marija (mentor)

Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati stališča mladih odraslih o feminizmu, seksizmu in enakosti spolov. V teoretičnem uvodu sem opredelila koncept (ne)enakosti spolov, kjer sem opisala spolne stereotipe in pojasnila pomen enakosti spolov. V nadaljevanju sem opredelila pojem seksizma in se osredotočila na več različnih področij življenja, kjer je seksizem prisoten. V tem delu sem se v večji meri osredotočila na seksizem, ki vpliva na življenja žensk, na koncu poglavja pa sem na kratko prikazala tudi seksizem nad moškimi oziroma navedla, na kakšen način družba škoduje moškim. Na koncu sem opisala feminizem, kjer sem se osredotočila na različna obdobja feminizma z večjim poudarkom na razvoju feminizma v Sloveniji. Na kratko sem opisala tudi primere različnih oblik feminizma ter prikazala, kako mediji v Sloveniji opisujejo feminizem. Za temo magistrske naloge sem se odločila, saj sem v svojem življenju večkrat zaznavala seksistične izjave in prepričanja, večkrat pa sem opazila tudi negativna prepričanja o feminizmu. To me je spodbudilo k raziskovanju stališč mladih odraslih o zgoraj omenjenih temah, saj sem želela pridobiti večji vpogled v njihova prepričanja. Tema se mi zdi pomembna, saj je ključno, da se kot posamezniki zavedamo trendov, prisotnih v družbi. Kot socialna delavka pa menim, da je naša vloga prepoznati seksizem v družbi in iskati načine, kako ga čim bolj zmanjšati, če že ne povsem odpraviti. To se mi zdi ključno za socialno delo, saj je med drugim naše poslanstvo pravzaprav zagovarjanje spoštovanja človekovih pravic in enakopravnosti, ob tem pa menim, da moramo zagovarjati tudi enakost, ne le enakopravnosti. V praktičnem delu sem izvedla kvantitativno, deskriptivno in empirično raziskavo, v kateri je sodelovalo 193 mladih odraslih, ki so v času izvajanja raziskave živeli v Sloveniji. Večji del anketirancev so predstavljale ženske, nekoliko manjši del pa moški, le nekaj oseb se je opredelilo kot nebinarne osebe ali pa se v raziskavi niso želele opredeliti. Rezultati raziskave so v mnogih primerih pokazali razliko med splošno analizo, v kateri je večkrat prevladalo mnenje žensk, in analizo s perspektive spola, ki je natančneje prikazala razlike med stališči moških in žensk ter tako dodala boljše razumevanje resničnih mnenj mladih odraslih. Ugotovila sem, da večina moških ne razume pojma feminizma v skladu z njegovo definicijo, medtem ko ga večina žensk razume pravilno. Ženske so se v večji meri strinjale s trditvijo, da je feminizem pomemben za uresničevanje enakosti spolov, medtem ko so bili moški bolj razdvojeni. Prav tako se večina žensk samoopredeljuje za feministke, medtem ko se je za feministe samoopredelila nekoliko manj kot četrtina moških. Rezultati raziskave pokažejo, da obstaja povezava med spolom in pozitivnim vrednotenjem feminizma, saj ženske feminizem vrednotijo bolj pozitivno. Prav tako sem odkrila, da mladi odrasli v povprečju prepoznavajo pomembnost enakosti spolov, obstaja pa tudi povezava med samim spolom in mnenjem mladih odraslih o tem, da je enakost spolov pomembna. Z raziskavo sem ugotovila, da imajo moški več seksističnih prepričanj v primerjavi z ženskami. Opaziti pa je bilo mogoče, da imajo mlajši moški več seksističnih prepričanj v primerjavi z ženskami katere koli starosti in starejšimi moškimi. Na koncu sem navedla nekaj predlogov, med katerimi bi izpostavila pomembnost raziskav, ki bi bolj celostno in obširno raziskovale doživljanje seksizma in feminizma, obširneje raziskovale težave moških in se osredotočile na razumevanje definicije »prave« moškosti. Predlagam tudi večje ozaveščanje o feminizmu in seksizmu, saj je le-ta v naši družbi še vedno prisoten. Pomembno bi se mi zdelo nagovoriti enakost spolov že v času primarnega izobraževanja ter v okviru šolanja razbijati spolne stereotipe.

• Naslov: Young Adults' View on Feminism, Sexism and Gender Equality

Izvleček

The purpose of the master’s thesis is to research views of young adults on feminism, sexism and gender equality. In the theoretical introduction I defined the concept of gender (in)equality, where I described gender stereotypes and explained the meaning of gender equality. In the following section I defined the concept of sexism and focused on different aspects of life where sexism is present. In this part, I mostly focused on sexism which affects the lives of women, but I did touch on sexism which affects men or rather how society harms men, at the end of the chapter. In the last chapter, I talked about feminism, where I focused on different waves of feminism, with the focus on how feminism developed in Slovenia. I briefly touched on different types of feminism and gave a few examples of how the media talks about feminism in Slovenia. I chose this topic because I came across a lot of sexist remarks and beliefs in my personal life, at the same time I also noticed a lot of negative opinions of feminism. This motivated me to research the opinions and views of young adults regarding previously mentioned topics. I find this topic important, because I believe it is crucial to understand the trends that are present in our society. I believe it is our role, as social workers, to recognize sexism and work towards reducing it, if not eliminating it altogether. I find this to be a crucial part of social work because our purpose states that we, as social workers, advocate for human rights and the equality before the law. At the same time, I believe we have to advocate for equality in our society and not just equality before the law. I conducted a quantitative, descriptive, and empirical study, which involved 193 young adults who were living in Slovenia at the time of the research. The majority of participants were women, with a slightly smaller group of men, only a few of participants identified as non-binary or chose not to disclose their gender identity. The results of the study often showed a difference between the general analysis, in which women's opinions often dominated over the opinions of men, and the analysis based on gender, which more accurately highlighted the differences in the views of men and women, and with that provided a better understanding of the true opinions of young adults. I found that most men do not understand the concept of feminism according to its definition, while most women do. Women more often agreed with the statement that feminism is important for achieving gender equality, while men were more divided on the matter. A majority of women also identified as feminists, while just under a quarter of men identified as feminists. The results of the study show that there is a connection between gender and positive evaluation of feminism, as women tend to see feminism more positively. I also discovered that young adults, on average, recognize the importance of gender equality, and that there is a connection between gender and young adults' opinions on the importance of gender equality. Through research, I found that men have more sexist beliefs compared to women. I also observed that younger men have more sexist beliefs compared to women, regardless of age and compared to older men. Finally, I provided some suggestions, among which I would highlight the need for research that more comprehensively and extensively explores the experience of sexism and feminism, further investigates men's issues, and focuses on understanding the definition of "a real man”. I also suggest the importance of spreading awareness about feminism and sexism, as these issues are still present in our society. I also believe it is crucial to address gender equality during primary education and work on dismantling gender stereotypes within the educational system.
