Abstract

ABSTRACT When the first female president of a country is impeached, how does the disgraceful exit shape people’s memory of her? Does sexism play a role in such retrospective evaluations? Do the voters who supported her remain loyal, or do they withdraw their support due to disappointment? This article utilizes the impeachment of Park Geun-hye of South Korea as a case to answer these questions. Using a public opinion survey conducted three years after the 2016 impeachment, I demonstrate that hostile sexism played a role in the negative retrospective evaluations of Park, while benevolent sexism did not. Moreover, those who voted for Park in the 2012 presidential election expressed more negative retrospective evaluations of Park than those who did not vote for her, suggesting a backlash effect. Voters who had high expectations of the first female president could experience deep disappointment when the historic first failed to meet their expectations.

更高的期望，更大的失望:韩国首位女总统被弹劾后的矛盾性别歧视和反弹

当一个国家的第一位女总统被弹劾时，不光彩的退出如何塑造人们对她的记忆?性别歧视在这种回顾性评估中起作用吗?支持她的选民会保持忠诚，还是因为失望而撤回支持?本文以韩国总统朴槿惠被弹劾案为例来回答这些问题。我利用2016年弹劾三年后进行的民意调查，证明了敌意性别歧视在对朴槿惠的负面回顾评价中发挥了作用，而善意性别歧视没有。而且，在2012年大选中投票给朴槿惠的人比没有投票给她的人对朴槿惠的负面评价更多，这是一种反作用。对第一位女总统抱有很高期望的选民可能会在历史性的第一次未能达到他们的期望时感到深深的失望。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
