Scarred Woman Experiment, Victimhood Ideology
A sociological experiment involving women who believed they had facial scars (which were actually removed before their interviews) showed that they perceived significantly more discrimination than they actually faced. The study suggests that a "victimhood ideology" primes individuals to look for oppression even when it isn't present. The hosts relate this to new laws in New York regarding weight and appearance discrimination.
