Consequences of Confronting Patronizing Help for People with Disabilities: Do Target Gender and Disability Type Matter?

People with disabilities (whether they are blind or they use a wheelchair) are rated as ruder and less warm after confronting patronizing help. Blind people are penalized more along these metrics than those using wheelchairs and patronizing behavior towards them is perceived as more appropriate. Gender does not have an impact on the perceived warmth of people with disabilities, before or after confronting patronizing help.

Should I stay or should I go?: Penalties for briefly de-prioritizing work or childcare

Both men and women face repercussions for briefly stepping away from child-care or professional responsibilities, regardless of the reason for doing so. However, male employees are viewed as more dedicated to their job and as less risky for their workplace than their female counterparts.
