Sexism

Value
Very Common, Moderate: 15 Points • Very Common, Strong: 20 Points
Description
A character who is Sexist is Prejudiced against members of the opposite gender. The character, who may be male or female, treats members of the opposite sex with derision, scorn, and ridicule, and takes the most stereotypical views about them as truth.
The Strength of the Complication depends on how easily the character can set aside his negative opinions. At the Moderate level, the character can put aside his normal opinions (at least on an individual basis) when he truly needs to. At the Strong level, the character finds it much more difficult to rise above his normal believes, requiring a successful EGO Roll to do so. At the Total level, the character cannot set aside his Sexist beliefs at all.
Unlike Prejudice or Racism, this Psychological Complication does equate to Hatred, and thus should not be taken with that Complication. A character with this Complication might also have a Negative Reputation with members of the opposite gender.
At the Total level, Sexism becomes Misandry or Misogyny depending on the gender of the Sexist character.
This is not considered a particularly heroic Complication, and Player Characters are advised against taking it.
