Patriarchy has also ensured that perpetrators of gender discrimination are mostly men. Although finding out the sex of perpetrators is important, MMA was more interested in knowing the positions of perpetrators. In other words, we sought to find out the positions that perpetrators of gender discrimination occupy in the different media workplaces as this would allow for targeted strategies to solve the problem. We therefore asked respondents to tell us the positions of the people who had discriminated them and found that the majority of the perpetrators are Editors and Managers. Given that there are women who also occupy these roles, this adds a female face to that common face of the male perpetrator.
