Singlism: what it is and how to fight?
Term has been gaining notoriety and includes negative stereotypes of single adults
Have you heard of singlism? The term is not yet so well known, but refers to an increasingly common phenomenon: single adults who end up being stigmatized and discriminated against because of the marital status. But why does it happen?
First, know that the term singlism was coined in 2005 by American psychologists Bella De Paulo and Wendy Morris. It comes from "single", in English. In his studies, the professionals noticed that single people are socially perceived as shy, Unhappy, Lonely, insecure and inflexible. Right, é claro, if singleness occurs after the 30, when the social pressure begins for the beginning of life around a loving couple.
Naturally, there are also differences with respect to gender. Singlim affects women much more than 40 years than men. This is because there is still the stigma of the "spinster" and the stereotype includes both a situation of "stranded" and a distrust about the sexual option of these women.. The exception is in the case of those that have a higher purchasing power and are less judged in some cases.
Being single by choice – and not just because of the circumstances of life – it can also be a reason for a number of negative evaluations by society.. The view is that the single or single is someone out of whack. (and so he did not get a love) or, still, a kind of "poor thing".
In addition, it should not be forgotten that many of the legal benefits are only intended for those who are married or have children.. Singles tend to have a harder time proving income, for instance, and are often more asked to work beyond hours.
With all this, it's not uncommon for single people to disconnect from married friends and feel lonelier., it is necessary to find ways of belonging to resist singlism. One of the ways is by attending specific events for singles..
A Single Trips, travel agency specializing in singles, offers a number of options for those who do not have company and want to have fun in a group and meet new people. The next event being organized will be on the day 20 November, Sunday, will take place at Sítio Resort in the neighborhood of Aldeinha, surrounded by the mountains and the preserved nature of Itapecerica da Serra (SP). Singles will have a swimming pool, premium barbecue, open bar, DJ and the entire team of Single Trips.
"The goal is to make sure this day is exclusively for singles., a time to bring people together who consider themselves alone and to isolate themselves from the world of families and couples.", explains Renata Guedes, founder of Single Trips.
She states that, at events like this, singles have the opportunity to meet people in the same situation and, often, with similar life stories. "Even if they arrive alone., gradually, you can see rounds of conversation and friendships forming."
