This article investigates the actual conditions of ambivalent sexism and perception of digital sexual crime among 300 adolescents(150 females, 150 males). This study finds that sexual consciousness and ambivalent sexism had an effect on the adolescent’s perception of digital-sexual crime. This study finds that respondents tend to be ambivalent sexism and that functions as sexism. While hostile sexism(HS) seems to punish women whose jobs do not uphold traditional female roles, benevolent sexism(BS) tend to reward women whose jobs embrace female stereotypes.
The most impressive thing is that although benevolent sexism(BS) differs between men and women, the difference in views in not much. To accept benevolent sexism(BS) is to regard crime as an individual's responsibility rather than a society. And this makes it difficult to actively deal with crime prevention. However, this difference in perception can be changed through education or systems.
Above all, this study suggests that youths should be taught “why benevolent sexism is sexism” as well as negative points of hostile sexism in order that they can overcome ambivalent sexism.
