Research Shows Gender Attacks on Women Work [View all]
https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/24/research-shows-gender-attacks-women-work/"SNIP...........
From a new research paper:
The results suggest that female candidates are particularly vulnerable to trait based attacks that challenge stereotypically feminine strengths. Both male and female candidates proved vulnerable to attacks on policy issues stereotypically associated with their party and gender, but the negative effects of all forms of stereotype-based attacks were especially large for democratic women.
