Item Feminism and hostile sexism among the religiously affiliated.(2019-04-02) Hernandez, Amanda Dawn, 1989-; Park, Jerry Z.This research examines the relationship between religious identification and feminist identification. Additionally, it investigates the extent of hostile sexist attitudes among those who identify as religious feminists. Utilizing 2016 American National Election Survey data, I find that religious women are no more or less likely to identify as feminist than the religiously unaffiliated, while Evangelical and Black Protestant men are less likely to identify as feminist. Further, both Black and Protestant women and Catholic men who identify as feminist express hostile sexism sentiment to a higher degree than their feminist unaffiliated counterparts, along with Latinas and Asian-identified men. This study offers quantitative insights into the relationship between feminist identification, religious affiliation, and hostile sexist attitudes. Additional implications for this study include conceptualizations of feminism and sexism more broadly in society.Item Feminism, feminists, and faith : intersectional identities.(2022-04-11) Hernandez, Amanda Dawn, 1989-; Froese, Paul.This project explores the ways that feminism and Christianity have long been viewed as contradictory. The first section explores landmark feminist texts and argues that there has long been the assumption that Christianity and feminism are contradictory because of the way whiteness has shaped both institutions. The second section utilizes interviews and survey data to examine the ways people think about being a Christian woman and how the expectations of that right womanhood push or pull women towards or away from embracing feminism. And finally, the last section examines feminism explicitly with the same interview data, exploring the ways women think about the way feminism fits into their lives. This study complicates the way that scholars in sociology of religion and women’s and gender studies have wrestled with the question of Christian feminists and how this demographic may fit into the broader coalition of feminists.
