sexist values

"ideologies that support unfair social hierarchies by legitimizing male domination of cisgender women and other “weaker” genders ... I argue that sexist values and gender norms are illegitimate in reproductive medicine because they undermine epistemic autonomy and enable epistemic oppression." (ChoGlueck 2023, 316)

💡 Examples
