Feminism

In one, the participants—228 Americans recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk—described both varieties of activists in “overwhelmingly negative” terms. [...]

Another study, featuring 17 male and 45 female undergraduates, confirmed the pervasiveness of those stereotypes.

Well, that makes sense. North American women have little to complain about. Now, if you're a woman and you live in one of those fancy countries where you're not allowed to use a t-shirt or drive a car and get executed for adultery if somebody rapes you, well, that's a different story.

It's because feminists can't be hot, and environmentalists have to be religious style preacher types.

You know, now that you point it out I'm kind of surprised that the second study confirmed this result regarding feminism, considering it was undergrads (and 75% female at that.)
