    <title>Actors’ Equity Reaches Agreement With Off-Broadway League For New Contract That Includes Covid-19 Protocols, Diversity Initiatives &amp; Significant Pay Raises – Deadline</title>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The agreement is retroactive to August 1 and expires on July 28, 2024.

In a joint statement, the parties said that the agreement “reflects a shared commitment to deliver a contract that addresses the challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and includes new workplace safety guidelines and long-term financial stability for actors, stage managers and producers.”

Read full statements from the principals below.

Minimum salaries at all not-for-profit Off-Broadway theaters will increase 5% immediately, and 16% over three years. Commercial Off-Broadway minimums will increase between 16% at the lowest salaried categories and up to 12.6% at the highest over the term of the agreement. The contract also limits proration cuts in salary if performances must be limited due to Covid-19.

In addition to updated language around diverse and inclusive casting and hiring policies and practices, the new contract also provides for the creation of new work schedules during rehearsal workweeks and tech time that provide actors, stage managers and producers with continued flexibility; removal of gender binary-based distinctions wherever possible in audition, hiring, rehearsal and production processes, and enhanced language and policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment, along with clarified procedures to address complaints.

The contract’s new equity, diversity and inclusion language also includes new definitions of bullying, sexual harassment, and sex-based and racial discrimination. “This language recognizes these issues as safety issues,” McColl and Bogardus told their members. The contract also extends the window in which members can report harassment or discrimination.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[    Prejudice can be birthed from a lack of understanding the historically accurate details of the past. Without being aware of the unconstitutional residential policies the United States government enacted during the middle of the twentieth century, one might have a negative view today of neighborhoods where African Americans live or even of African Americans themselves.

    We can compensate for this unlawful segregation through a national political consensus that leads to legislation. And this will only happen if the majority of Americans understand how we got here. Like Jay-Z said in a recent New York Times interview, “you can't have a solution until you start dealing with the problem: What you reveal, you heal.” This is the major challenge at hand: to educate fellow citizens of the unconstitutional inequality that we’ve woven and, on behalf of our government, accept responsibility to fix it.

It's interesting to see how much has changed -- and how much hasn't -- since the 1920s and 1930s. Zoom in on this map to highlight your city (if it is one of those listed), then click on the neighborhoods to see what the folks in the city thought about the area, then click on the neighboring areas to see what makes them "different".]]></description>

This is one of many rules and regulations put forward by the Trump administration that defines "sex discrimination" as only applying when someone faces discrimination for being male or female, and does not protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Supporters of the rule say this is a necessary reversal of Obama-era executive overreach, and will reduce confusion about the legal meaning of "sex discrimination." Critics argue the rule could further harm an already vulnerable group — transgender people — in the midst of a pandemic and historic unrest spurred by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[
The Trump administration will scrap ObamaCare's nondiscrimination protections for sex and gender identity under a final rule released Friday.

In a statement, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the government's interpretation of sex discrimination will be based on "the plain meaning of the word 'sex' as male or female and as determined by biology."

According to HHS, the new policy makes clear that "the substantive protections prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex remain in effect."
ADVERTISEMENT

The move was announced amid Pride Month but has been long-anticipated by religious providers, who argue the administration needs to reinforce their right not to provide treatment that is against their beliefs.

The administration has been working on the rule for well over a year.

Advocates and health groups said the policy will make it easier for doctors, hospitals and insurance companies to deny care or coverage to transgender and nonbinary patients, as well as women who have had abortions.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[But others viewed them more darkly, seeing them as blunt examples of what they considered to be a hostile environment, artifacts of a workplace employees said was saturated with degrading comments.

Several lawsuits have been filed over the years alleging that women were discriminated against at Bloomberg’s business-information company, including a case brought by a federal agency and one filed by a former employee, who blamed Bloomberg for creating a culture of sexual harassment and degradation.

The most high-profile case was from a former saleswoman. She sued Bloomberg personally as well as his company, alleging workplace discrimination. She alleged Bloomberg told her to “kill it” when he learned she was pregnant. Bloomberg has denied her allegation under oath, and he reached a confidential settlement with the saleswoman.

The Washington Post interviewed a former Bloomberg employee, David Zielenziger, who said he witnessed the conversation with the saleswoman. Zielenziger, who said he had not previously spoken publicly about the matter, said Bloomberg’s behavior toward the woman was “outrageous. I understood why she took offense.” ]]></description>

But as recently as the 1960s, government policy excluded blacks. 
...
So if you ever find yourself in a predominantly black neighborhood, wondering why everyone seems so poor, know this: It’s largely because white people, possibly even you or your ancestors, stole from them and their ancestors. The more Americans recognize this deep, tragic flaw in the fabric of our society, the greater the chance that we can find a remedy.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[    After a bit more reading, I think the trans-exclusionary set should better be described as TES, with the S standing for separatists. A lot of the positions that are presented seem far too essentialist to be adequately described as feminist, let alone radical feminist.”

For most feminist cis women considering the rights and safety of trans women rarely intrudes upon our feminist practice until somebody wants to exclude trans women from our spaces and expects us to agree. That’s when we realise women we know have very different reactions to the question of whether to include trans women as part of our sisterhood, or deny their womanhood and exclude them.

Much of the factional divide here comes down to yet another gatekeeping argument about purity in feminism, perennial since the women’s suffrage movement, and this one has uncomfortable echoes of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s arguments against extending voting rights to black men. ]]></description>

For McDuffie, strategic zoning had the potential to solidify the racially restrictive neighborhoods in which he had a monetary stake. He feared that without this tool, the sanctity of the more affluent, eastern sections of Berkeley would be overrun by development. That might jeopardize the specific character of the residential parks that was so key to their marketability.

“In the United States, private profit as a result of zoning ordinances that preserved and enhanced ‘investment values’ was not only fully expected, it was a major zoning goal,” according ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[First, Do No Harm came about following the tremendous response to this post by Barbara Benesch-Granberg, a.k.a. Thorn. When Thorn told the tragic story of her mother’s death — which followed decades of her being too afraid to see to a doctor who’d told her not to come back unless she lost 50 lbs. — the outpouring of similarly heartbreaking stories was overwhelming.

We hear constantly that we’re in the midst of an “obesity epidemic,” that fat people are burdening the health care system (or eventually will), and that being fat automatically equals ill health, even though that’s patently false. What we don’t hear are the stories of fat people being berated and shamed by health care professionals; being handed Weight Watchers brochures when they come in with strep throat; being misdiagnosed and mistreated, dismissed and dehumanized — sometimes with fatal consequences — because doctors can’t see anything but their fat.

So, inspired by sites like Hollaback, we decided to start collecting those stories in one place. This kind of thing happens every day. It’s past time we started hearing every one of these stories.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Justice William Rehnquist wrote in the unanimous decision, “Without question, when a supervisor sexually harasses a subordinate because of the subordinate’s sex, the supervisor discriminates on the basis of sex.”

In other words, sexual harassment may entail behaviors that on their own would be criminal — assault or rape — but the legal definition of its harm is about the systemic disadvantaging of a gender in the public and professional sphere. And those structural disadvantages do not begin or end with the actual physical incursions — the groping, kissing, the rubbing up against. In fact, the gender inequity that creates the need for civil-rights protections is what has permitted so many of these trespasses to have occurred, so frequently, and for so long; gender inequity is what explains why women are vulnerable to harassment before they are even harassed; it explains why it’s difficult for them to come forward with stories after they have been harassed, why they are often ignored when they do; it clarifies why so many women work with or maintain relationships with harassers and why their reactions to those harassers become key to how they themselves will be evaluated, professionally. Gender inequity is cyclical, all-encompassing.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[So here's the thing about the story about the Danish gentiles all donning yellow stars: it's not true. But the reality is, while more complicated, even better.
The German occupiers never required the Danish Jews to wear a yellow star, because the Danish had already made it so clear they wouldn't stand for it.
Instead, they decided to strike suddenly with a mass round-up. But word had already gone out, and they were only able to find a handful. Even that handful mostly survived, because due to pressure from the Danes they were kept at Terezin rather than being sent on to Auschwitz.
If you look at the list of Righteous Gentiles kept by Yad Vashem, the list of Danes is very short, because (at the request of the Danish resistance organization) it just says "The People of Denmark." (I think there are a handful of others that snuck on there, but for the most part, individual Danes are not recognized.) And the thing is, in Denmark, it was normal to be a rescuer. It was normal to do whatever you could to protect and shelter the victims of the Nazis.
People have tremendous capacity for goodness and courage, but it works a hell of a lot better when the NORM is, "we are united against genocide and persecution."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[PHOENIX (AP) -
An Arizona judge has rejected a wedding shop's challenge to a Phoenix ordinance that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. 

Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, the owners of Brush & Nib Studio, claimed in the lawsuit filed in 2016 that the city's ordinance would compel them to create invitations or artwork for same-sex couples.

Serving these couples, the suit said, would conflict with their religious beliefs on marriage and violate their freedoms of speech and religion.

Judge Karen Mullins rejected all of the owners' arguments this week and confirmed that the city's ordinance does not violate the state's free speech and free exercise of religion laws.

"The government may permissibly regulate the sale of goods and services by businesses that sell those goods and services to the general public. This is true even if the goods and services at issue involve expression or artistic creativity," the judge said in the written order.

Some are avoiding solo meetings with female entrepreneurs, potential recruits and those who ask for an informational or networking meeting.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I was a little confused by your summons. Of all the things that worry me, loss of religious freedom for Christians in America isn’t one of them. I can’t say I have ever experienced anything in this country that could reasonably be called a restriction on my religious liberty, much less persecution.  When you started talking about attacks on Christianity, I thought you might have been referring to the racially motivated slaying of pastors and lay people at Mother Emmanuel church in Charleston some time back. Or I figured you were referring to the slaughter of Coptic Christians in Egypt this past Palm Sunday. That’s what I call persecution. But having to pay a judgment for refusing to bake a cake for a same sex couple in violation of the law against discrimination? This you call persecution? There’s a letter in the Bible, written by the Apostle Peter (ever heard of him?). He’s an expert on persecution, having been on the receiving end of it more than once. He says you don’t get divine kudos from suffering the consequences of breaking the law-even if you are a Christian. Moreover, there is a Christian fellow named Paul (aka Saul) who wrote a letter to a church in Rome nearly two thousand years ago. He said that if your enemy is hungry you should feed him (that’s in the Bible too). So wouldn’t it have been the Christian way to have baked a cake for the same sex couple in your example, even if you deem them enemies (another assertion I don’t quite understand)? I’m confused.]]></description>

Why? Because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools. So much for the new abolitionism.

Today, evangelicals make up the backbone of the pro-life movement, but it hasn’t always been so. Both before and for several years after Roe, evangelicals were overwhelmingly indifferent to the subject, which they considered a “Catholic issue.”]]></description>

Or, at least, that's how the story goes. The reality, Randall Balmer, a Dartmouth professor writing for Politico Magazine, says, is actually a little less savory to 21st century Americans: The religious right, who liked to call themselves the "moral majority" at the time, actually organized around fighting to protect Christian schools from being desegregated. It wasn't Roe v. Wade that woke the sleeping dragon of the evangelical vote. It was Green v. Kennedy, a 1970 decision stripping tax-exempt status from "segregation academies"—private Christian schools that were set up in response to Brown v. Board of Education, where the practice of barring black students continued. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with “people of German blood”.

A subsequent ruling confirmed that black people (like “gypsies”) were to be regarded as being “of alien blood” and subject to the Nuremberg principles. Very few people of African descent had German citizenship, even if they were born in Germany, but this became irreversible when they were given passports that designated them as “stateless negroes”.

In 1941, black children were officially excluded from public schools, but most of them had suffered racial abuse in their classrooms much earlier. Some were forced out of school and none were permitted to go on to university or professional training. Published interviews and memoirs by both men and women, unpublished testimony and post-war compensation claims testify to these and other shared experiences.

Employment prospects which were already poor before 1933 got worse afterwards. Unable to find regular work, some were drafted for forced labour as “foreign workers” during World War II. Films and stage shows making propaganda for the return of Germany’s African colonies became one of the few sources of income, especially after black people were banned from other kinds of public performance in 1939.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in all health-care programs and activities by any entity receiving federal funds. Specifically, Section 1557 forbids the denial of health care or health coverage based on an individual’s sex, including discrimination based on pregnancy, gender identity, and sex stereotyping. It also mandates the delivery of reproductive health care services like abortion and sterilization at any health-care facility, including for religious and religiously affiliated providers. The final rule also requires covered health programs and activities to treat individuals consistent with their gender identity.

In other words, among its other protections, Section 1557 expressly prohibits anti-transgender discrimination and refusals to provide reproductive health care. That means it has the potential to significantly advance gender equity in the delivery of health-care services, the way Title VII has made significant advancements in addressing race and sex discrimination in the workplace.

Unlike the ACA’s contraception mandate—also known as the birth control benefit—Section 1557 has no carve-outs or religious exemptions. And unlike the birth control benefit, which has been the target of high political theater involving congressional hearings and scaremongering about religious freedom, Section 1557 went into effect as part of the ACA with very little fanfare or opposition.

Until now.

How Howard Stern gave us Donald Trump
Kim Sauder makes a similar argument, writing, "If the logic is that by framing Trump as having a mental illness makes him unfit for the presidency then the message is that mental illness is equated with incompetence." Furthermore, Sauder writes, "Bigotry is not a mental illness."
Finn Gardiner notes that there are many ways to criticize someone with whom you disagree that do not rely on ableist concepts. "Call them wrong. Call them misguided. Call them terrible," Gardiner writes, "But stop calling them crazy." Emily Willingham made a similar point at Forbes, writing, "We can use specific terms about his personality (disagreeable) and temperament (toddler-ish) but not make attributions to a clinical disorder." Avoiding pathologizing Donald Trump doesn't mean surrendering a useful weapon in the quest to defeat him.]]></description>

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called for an investigation of a possible “bias motive” as the woman was of Somali descent and was wearing a headscarf.

Hakima Abdulle was told to disembark a Southwest Airlines plane at a Chicago airport after she asked the man next to her whether she could move to the aisle seat, and he had agreed. 

She was traveling alone on a connecting flight to help a pregnant family member in Seattle, according to Zainab Chaudry, the Maryland Outreach Manager at CAIR.

A flight attendant then approached Ms Abdulle and said they were not allowed to swap seats, despite the airline’s policy of unassigned seating.

But just as fascinating as it was to witness my mental and physical changes, it was just as equal of an adjustment to comprehend how other people were responding to me.

In short, I was being treated better by everyday America because people were reading me as a young, white, straight (?!) male. And I recognized many new privileges that came my way because of it.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Civil rights groups this week filed a housing discrimination complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development against Fannie Mae, arguing that the quasi-government agency that now owns more than 100,000 foreclosed homes across the country has been doing a much better job of caring for the ones located in white neighborhoods than minority ones. And their case is hard to wave away because, for the last five years, as the National Fair Housing Alliance has gone into neighborhoods in 129 cities in 34 metropolitan areas, they've been taking pictures.
....
They documented a single-family home on a corner lot in Oakland — a bungalow, painted a sunny yellow, that's easy to picture in better days — with curious holes punched into the exterior walls.

 
A foreclosed home in a predominantly minority neighborhood in Oakland, Calif. NFHA
The complaint, based on an investigation of 2,106 foreclosed Fannie Mae-owned properties, mirrors similar accusations fair-housing advocates have made against big banks. Here, they argue that Fannie Mae's own contractors have taken considerably more care in maintaining and marketing foreclosed homes in comparable working- and middle-class white neighborhoods.

In each city, the group assessed every Fannie Mae-owned property in predominantly white and minority zip codes selected for what had been high homeownership rates (so the zip codes were chosen by the housing alliance, but the individual properties within them weren't cherry-picked).]]></description>

100% of the women interviewed reported gender bias.
Black women are more likely (77%) than other women (66%) to report having to prove themselves over and over again.
The stereotype that Asians are good at science appears to help Asian-American women with students—but not with colleagues.
Asian-Americans reported both more pressure than other groups of women to adhere to traditionally feminine roles and more pushback if they don’t.
Latinas who behave assertively risk being seen as “angry” or “too emotional,” even when they report they weren’t angry; they just weren’t deferential.
Latinas report being pressured by colleagues to do admin support work for their male colleagues, such as organizing meetings and filling out forms.
Both Latinas and Black women report regularly being mistaken as janitors.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Justice Department conducted two investigations—one looking into the shooting of Michael Brown, and another into the Ferguson Police Department. The first report made clear that there was no prosecutable case against one individual officer. The second report made clear that there was a damning case to be made against the system in which that officer operated:

Ferguson’s law enforcement practices are shaped by the City’s focus on revenue rather than by public safety needs. This emphasis on revenue has compromised the institutional character of Ferguson’s police department, contributing to a pattern of unconstitutional policing, and has also shaped its municipal court, leading to procedures that raise due process concerns and inflict unnecessary harm on members of the Ferguson community. Further, Ferguson’s police and municipal court practices both reflect and exacerbate existing racial bias, including racial stereotypes. Ferguson’s own data establish clear racial disparities that adversely impact African Americans. The evidence shows that discriminatory intent is part of the reason for these disparities...

Partly as a consequence of City and FPD priorities, many officers appear to see some residents, especially those who live in Ferguson’s predominantly African-American neighborhoods, less as constituents to be protected than as potential offenders and sources of revenue...

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Our minds naturally group things in culturally specific categories -- for Americans, robins are more "bird" than albatrosses -- and we're better at categorizing more prototypical items than outliers -- but what does this mean when we group humans in categories like "real Americans"?

Shweta Narayan's post on the issue is a fascinating and well-reasoned cognitive explanation of privilege and oppression, with reference to how this works in fiction and other art-forms. gecently categorized them as human?

1) Able neurotypical not-fat not-poor straight cis white anglophone American Christian men are considered to be prototypical humans (prototype here = privileged default). So. If you ask people to think of famous people, they will think first of famous able neurotypical not-fat not-poor straight cis white anglophone American Christian men. And their exceptions will normally fall outside this prototype in only one or two ways.

This is how a lot of casual erasure happens. (btw it's also what's happening when editors "just happened to think of" a lot of poets/writers/artists who aren't marginalized, and when poets/writers/artists "just happened to think of" prototypical characteristics to portray.)

2) If someone is not an able neurotypical not-fat not-poor straight cis white anglophone American Christian man, it will generally take people longer to categorize them as human. And the further they are from this prototype the longer it will take to make the judgment. Now, if people take that extra time, we're probably good; but do they? When they sort resumes / run job interviews, when they're trigger-happy cops, etc?

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Again, the thing about the demand for "evidence" is not just that it's derailing, not just that it's the reddest of all red herrings—although it is certainly those things, too—but it is actively harmful. It is saying that people who observe and document their own oppression cannot be considered reliable witnesses.

I want to draw a very clear line between this extremely common silencing and discrediting behavior and the rape culture: In crimes of sexual violence, survivors' accounts are often not considered evidence of a crime, which fundamentally sets them apart from crimes like robbery and non-sexual assault. 

It is not a coincidence that there is a cultural habit of silencing and discrediting the voices of marginalized people who experience harm on the basis of their identities, when those are the people also most likely to be targeted by sexual violence.

I also want to draw a very clear line between this behavior and the way self-defense "crimes" are prosecuted. It is not a coincidence that men like George Zimmerman and Michael Dunn are given enormous amounts of latitude and sympathy as people actively urge them to make excuses for murdering black children and urge us to listen to their justifications, while women like Marissa Alexander and CeCe McDonald and the Jersey Four, black women who were not predators and clearly acted in self-defense, are persecuted, prosecuted, and silenced.

Where's the evidence that you were harmed, beyond your own claims which we are not obliged to believe? ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In his homage to the GI Bill, Shields explains that while higher education had previously been the preserve of the elite, with the passage of this government mandate, “all that changed immediately,” as nearly eight million vets enrolled in college or job training. Additionally, he notes, veterans were extended favorable mortgage terms, allowing them to own a home for the first time. He concludes his Memorial Day essay by describing the bill as an example of “our ability to act for the common good.”
Now, far be it from me to dispute the positive effects of the GI Bill. It was indeed, and still is, in more recent incarnations, a powerful example of what the state can do to provide opportunity when it chooses. Yet, what Shields fails to mention, perhaps because he doesn’t know it himself, or it doesn’t seem relevant to him, is that the GI Bill was hardly a universal triumph; and the same can be said of the VA and FHA loan programs implemented around the same time to expand opportunity for members of the working class. For the working class that was able to take full advantage of these programs was hardly representative: indeed, the benefits of these otherwise laudable efforts were received nearly exclusively by white folks and white men in particular. Universal programs in name and theory: affirmative action and preferential treatment for members of the dominant majority in practice.]]></description>

As these studies come out, there are almost always skeptics who say that whatever gender imbalance exists could well reflect different choices made, on average, by men and women, or who say that individual men are rising on their merits, not sexism.

But a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences offers evidence of bias among scientists — male and female scientists alike — against female students.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[this back and forth between Mr. Garre, the counsel for UT, and the chief justice of SCOTUS, John Roberts, gets at the heart of the tension in this case: how can anyone determine when affirmative action is working and is doing what its proponents want it to do?

Mr. Garre is adamant that one way in which you determine if a university campus is a diverse enough space is to measure whether minority students feel isolated in that environment. While Roberts concedes this point, he wants Garre to give him a definitive answer for how a university can quantify the experience of minority students in order to say, “critical mass of diversity now met.” Garre, though, is steadfast that the university cannot quantify it, that it takes many different kind of data including, “enrollment data,” “feedback from students,” accounting for “diversity in the classroom,” and attempting to measure “the racial climate on campus.”

In a very dismissive way, Roberts puts down that the Constitutional determination of this case can rest in asking minority students at a university through surveys if they feel isolated and how severe that isolation is. Now, no one (NO ONE) thinks that the entire case around affirmative action should ONLY be built on surveys of the lived experience of minority university students. But I do think it’s telling that Roberts scoffs at those surveys in particular.

This reminds me of a post I recently wrote about a new study that FINALLY proves that scientists as a group discriminate against female scientists. I say “FINALLY” because there have been previous studies. But more than that, women in the sciences have been saying for a long time that discrimination is their reality. As I wrote previously, this new study finally being good enough to offer definitive proof shows that women scientists saying they are discriminated against is not, in and of itself, proof that women scientists are discriminated against.

Here is the connection for me: in both of these cases, a group that has much less power is saying, in some collective way, that their lived experiences = x. And the group in power responds by saying, “Your claim to your lived experience isn’t enough. We need hard numbers. Where are the numbers?”]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We can now summarize our explanation of where the NINA myth comes from. There probably were occasional handwritten signs in London homes in the 1820s seeking non-Irish maids. The slogan became a cliché in Britain for hostility to the Irish. Tens of thousands of middle-class English migrated to America, and it is possible a few used the same sort of handwritten sign in the 1830—1850 period; the old British cliché was probably known in America. There is no evidence for any printed NINA signs in America or for their display at places of employment other than private homes. Poole's song of 1862 popularized the phrase. The key change that made the second version such a hit was gender reversal—the London song lamented the maid's troubles, the New York City version called for Irishmen to assert their manhood in defiance of a cowardly [End Page 409] enemy. By 1863 every Irishman knew and resented the slogan—and it perhaps helped foment the draft riots that year. The stimulus was not visual but rather aural—a song about NINA sung only by the Irish. There was indeed such a song, and it became quite popular during the 1863 crisis of the draft riots of the Civil War; it still circulates. The song was a war cry that encouraged Irish gangs to beat up suspicious strangers and it warned Irish jobseekers against breaking with the group and going to work for The Enemy.

Recollection is a group phenomenon—especially in a community so well known for its conviviality and story telling. Congressman Tip O'Neill of Massachusetts grew up hearing horror stories of how the terrible Protestants burned down a nearby convent school run by the Catholic Ursuline nuns. When O'Neill went to college he was astonished to read in a history book that it happened a century earlier in 1834—he had assumed it was a recent event. 26 It is most unlikely that businesses in Boston routinely displayed NINA signs in the 20th century and yet left no trace whatever in the records. People who "remember" the signs in the 20th century only remember the urban legend. 27]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Weight discrimination is prevalent in American society. Although associated consistently with psychological and economic outcomes, less is known about whether weight discrimination is associated with longitudinal changes in obesity. The objectives of this research are (1) to test whether weight discrimination is associated with risk of becoming obese (Body Mass Index≥30; BMI) by follow-up among those not obese at baseline, and (2) to test whether weight discrimination is associated with risk of remaining obese at follow-up among those already obese at baseline. Participants were drawn from the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative longitudinal survey of community-dwelling US residents. A total of 6,157 participants (58.6% female) completed the discrimination measure and had weight and height available from the 2006 and 2010 assessments. Participants who experienced weight discrimination were approximately 2.5 times more likely to become obese by follow-up (OR = 2.54, 95% CI = 1.58–4.08) and participants who were obese at baseline were three times more likely to remain obese at follow up (OR = 3.20, 95% CI = 2.06–4.97) than those who had not experienced such discrimination. These effects held when controlling for demographic factors (age, sex, ethnicity, education) and when baseline BMI was included as a covariate. These effects were also specific to weight discrimination; other forms of discrimination (e.g., sex, race) were unrelated to risk of obesity at follow-up. The present research demonstrates that, in addition to poorer mental health outcomes, weight discrimination has implications for obesity. Rather than motivating individuals to lose weight, weight discrimination increases risk for obesity.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I had fortunately seen a number of CVs in my time. I was happy with the choice of style and layout, and the balance of detail versus brevity. I was particularly pleased with the decision I made to brand it with my name with just enough bold positioning to make it instantly recognisable, and as I sat scouring every detail of that CV a horrible truth slowly dawned on me. My name.

My first name is Kim. Technically its gender neutral but my experience showed that most people’s default setting in the absence of any other clues is to assume Kim is a women’s name. And nothing else on my CV identified me as male. At first I thought I was being a little paranoid but engineering, trades, sales and management were all definitely male dominated industries. So I pictured all the managers I had over the years and, forming an amalgam of them in my mind, I read through the document as I imagined they would have. It was like being hit on the head with a big sheet of unbreakable glass ceiling.

My choice to brand the CV with a bold positioning of my name actually seemed to scream that I was a woman. I could easily imagine many of the people I had worked for discarding the document without even reading further. If they did read further the next thing they saw (as politeness declared at the time) was a little personal information, and that declared I was married with kids. I had put this in because I knew many employers would see it as showing stability, but when I viewed it through the skewed view of middle aged men who thought I was a woman, I could see it was just further damning my cause. I doubt if many of the managers I had known would have made it to the second page.

I made one change that day. I put Mr in front of my name on my CV.]]></description>

Similar biases exist across professions and also for race. Some of this research is summarized in this brochure: http://mickteaching.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/women-in-science/.
That brochure also mentions ways to help reduce the effects of these biases. One thing that helps is making people aware that these biases exist, so posts like this help.
My group also encourages discussions among our students and lab members (http://mickteaching.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/women-in-science/). These discussions can be very personal, so they need to be done in the right sort of environment.]]></description>

Whenever the subject of women in science comes up, there are people fiercely committed to the idea that sexism does not exist. They will point to everything and anything else to explain differences while becoming angry and condescending if you even suggest that discrimination could be a factor. But these people are wrong. This data shows they are wrong. And if you encounter them, you can now use this study to inform them they’re wrong. You can say that a study found that absolutely all other factors held equal, females are discriminated against in science. Sexism exists. It’s real. Certainly, you cannot and should not argue it’s everything. But no longer can you argue it’s nothing.

We are not talking about equality of outcomes here; this result shows bias thwarts equality of opportunity.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[When scientists judged the female applicants more harshly, they did not use sexist reasoning to do so. Instead, they drew upon ostensibly sound reasons to justify why they would not want to hire her: she is not competent enough. Sexism is an ugly word, so many of us are only comfortable identifying it when explicitly misogynistic language or behavior is exhibited. But this shows that you do not need to use anti-women language or even harbor conscious anti-women beliefs to behave in ways that are effectively anti-women.

Practically, this fact makes it all the more easy for women to internalize unfair criticisms as valid. If your work is rejected for an obviously bad reason, such as “it’s because you’re a woman,” you can simply dismiss the one who rejected you as biased and therefore not worth taking seriously. But if someone tells you that you are less competent, it’s easy to accept as true. And why shouldn’t you? Who wants to go through life constantly trying to sort through which critiques from superiors are based on the content of your work, and which are unduly influenced by the incidental characteristics of who you happen to be? Unfortunately, too, many women are not attuned to subtle gender biases. Making those calls is bound to be a complex and imperfect endeavor. But not recognizing it when it’s happening means accepting: “I am not competent.” It means believing: “I do not deserve this job.”]]></description>

    <title>BBC News - Boston, 1967: When marathons were just for men</title>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The city of Boston is staging its annual marathon. Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to officially run the race 45 years ago, despite stewards trying to physically force the 20-year-old off the road. Here she recalls how a female runner caused such a fuss.

Anything long like 800m, or even longer, God forbid, was considered dangerous, de-sexing and de-feminising for a woman.

[It was thought] that their uterus might fall out and their legs would get big, and maybe they would grow hair on their chests.

Running made me feel free and powerful. It was what I wanted to do, so I did it.

Kathrine Switzer


Has run 35 marathons
Won 1974 New York City Marathon
Campaigned for the women's marathon to be included in the Olympic Games, which happened in 1984
I asked my coach, Arnie Briggs: "Do you think I'll be welcome at Boston? Maybe it's against the rules."

We got out the rule book, but there was nothing about women being forbidden in the marathon.

It was just assumed that no woman in her right mind would want to run a marathon and they wouldn't be capable anyway. So Arnie said: "Fill out the form".

We were milling around together doing our warm up exercises, so all the guys saw that I was a woman. But obviously the officials didn't.

I was nervous and anticipatory going into the race, but I was confident I could do the distance because I had just done a 31 mile (50km) run [in training]. But like any marathoner, you worry about things you can't control - like the weather or getting blisters.

The gun went off and down the street we went. At the start of a marathon you are so relieved. You have done all these months of training, it's like going to Mecca. At last, you're the pilgrim, you're making your voyage, so I felt wonderful.

Two miles (3km) into the race, a truck came along packed with timers, scorers and officials. Behind that was the press truck which was loaded with photographers - and they went crazy seeing a woman in the race!

Then all of sudden I heard a scraping noise of shoes running faster than mine.

I turned around and I saw the angriest face I had ever seen. It was a race official, Jock Semple. He grabbed me by the shoulders, spun me back, and screamed: "Get the hell out of my race".

He started trying to rip off my bib numbers.

With that Arnie jumped in and said: "Leave her alone. She's OK, I've trained her. You stay out of this."

He [Jock Semple] came back and grabbed me again. He had me by the sweatshirt and I was trying to get away from him.

Boston Marathon


The oldest annual marathon in the world
Began in 1897, one year after the first modern Olympic Games
Like all marathons, it is 26 miles and 385 yards (42km)
Held on the third Monday of April each year - locals refer to it as Marathon Monday
The first woman to unofficially complete the race was Roberta Gibb in 1966. She did not have a race number and hid in the bushes before the start
Women were officially allowed to enter in 1972
The first major marathon to include a wheelchair division in 1975
Source: Boston Athletic Association
He was pulling me back when all of sudden, my boyfriend, Tom Miller, came running full tilt and hit this race official with the most beautiful cross-body block you could ever imagine, and sent him flying through the air.

Arnie's eyes got huge. He said: "Run like hell," and down the street we went.

I was crying, I was so terrified that my boyfriend had hit this official. I was embarrassed and really, really scared.

I realised at that moment that everything had changed. Suddenly it became a contest of proving that women could do it.

The official was trying to throw me out of the race simply because I was a woman. He didn't believe I was serious or that I was entitled to be there.

He had shamed me so much in front of the whole world. And then that turned to anger and I was so determined that nothing was going to stop me.

I thought: "I deserve to be here. If I can do the distance then why not? It's a public road."

[But] I was very afraid because this official had got up off the pavement, got back on the bus, and about half a mile later cursed at us loudly again.

By that point all the guys were on my side, so you can imagine what they said to him.

“
Start Quote

I started the Boston Marathon as a young girl, and came out the other end a grown woman”

I just thought he was a man out of control, but he was also a man of his time.

In 1967 women were not supposed to be going out in public and doing these kinds of things.

I grew up during the race. I started the Boston Marathon as a young girl, and came out the other end a grown woman.

About 20 miles (32km) into the race, I came to the conclusion that when I finished, I was going to try to be a better athlete and try to create opportunities for women so they would experience the same sense of power, strength and freedom that I had.

When I crossed the finish line, it wasn't like "Wow! I did it - I did my first marathon". It was like "Wow! I've got a life plan!"

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration secretly monitored the personal e-mail of a group of its own scientists and doctors after they warned Congress that the agency was approving medical devices that they believed posed unacceptable risks to patients, government documents show.

The surveillance — detailed in e-mails and memos unearthed by six of the scientists and doctors, who filed a lawsuit against the FDA in U.S. District Court in Washington last week — took place over two years as the plaintiffs accessed their personal Gmail accounts from government computers.

Information garnered this way eventually contributed to the harassment or dismissal of all six of the FDA employees, the suit alleges. All had worked in an office responsible for reviewing devices for cancer screening and other purposes.

Copies of the e-mails show that, starting in January 2009, the FDA intercepted communications with congressional staffers and draft versions of whistleblower complaints complete with editing notes in the margins. The agency also took electronic snapshots of the computer desktops of the FDA employees and reviewed documents they saved on the hard drives of their government computers.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Remember, part of the defense against the racism theory is that the applicants are already skewed before any selection is done. Once again, this sounds like something you can only throw your hands up about: if it’s not a problem with innate differences, it must be a problem with our education system or some other “pipeline” problem.

So let’s take a look at this problem, too.

I once spent time with a promising entrepreneur who was not a white man. Because their startup sold a product that a lot of tech entrepreneurs buy, many of their customers were graduates of Y Combinator. So I asked if they were planning to apply. Their response: “oh, no, it’s a waste of time. Y Combinator doesn’t accept people like me.” Where did they get that idea? Surely not from YC’s partners, who as far as I can tell are scrupulously fair in their dealings with entrepreneurs. Rather, they got that impression by inferring that there is probably implicit bias in YC’s  admissions process, and that they’d be better off spending their time doing something else other than applying to YC.

We all know there is a huge gender gap in computer science. But that gap means that women receive only about 30% of degrees in CS. But 30% is a lot larger than 4% – and that’s a big math problem for advocates of the pipeline theory.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The various Becker models can be played with to produce differing predictions. But they all suffer from that perfect information assumption. Information about people's actual productivity is not freely available. If it was, no firm would ever hire someone unsuitable or subject new workers to trial periods and such. Indeed, if everybody knew everything else life would be very different from how it actually is.

More realistic models allow for missing information about the true productivity of workers, at least in the short-run. What takes its place? One possibility is statistical discrimination. 

Suppose that Jane has applied for a job, gotten an interview, and now walks into the firm's human resources office, clad in a neat suit, carefully made-up and carrying her resume. How will the representative of the firm on the other side of the desk assess her likely productivity?

One possibility is that the interviewer will use both the information in Jane's resume, the information produced in the interview and the interviewer's own ideas about how people who "look like" Jane have fared in the past. Or how that person regards them in general. That Jane is female is part of that information. 

This might mean that the way the interviewer sees women in general could affect the way Jane is viewed. If the company has never hired women before, Jane presents it with a risk. If the interviewer doesn't think much of women's abilities in the advertised job opening, Jane may be rated lower than an equally qualified applicant who just happens to be called Joe.]]></description>

by Lisa Wade, 8 hours ago at 11:00 am
Today the U.S. Supreme Court has announced that the female employees of  Walmart will not be allowed to bring a class action lawsuit against the company, arguing that it has not been shown that they are a class.  It would have been the largest employment discrimination suit in history.

It seems timely, then, to re-post our summary of some of the evidence against Walmart.  Women are, on average, paid less, are less likely to be salaried, and hold lower-ranked positions than men.  This is true even though there is less turnover among women, meaning that the average female employee has been working at Walmart significantly longer than the average male employee.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Boundary violations are acts of dominance, of control. With or without conscious intention, they broadcast that we must accept our assumed and assigned place in the social hierarchy. Where the violation is explained as a “compliment”, here’s the usually unspoken message: a higher-status person has decided to acknowledge your existence and such attention has lifted you up from your otherwise-intractable invisibility. You can now express your thanks for graduating into full humanity, at least for now. In our own society, these things are all unspoken and their reality is vehemently denied. Should we protest or refuse our role, we are branded as too sensitive, too emotional, irrational, angry… all code words for “uppity”, for “who-does-she-think-she-is”, since those of lower status are not permitted to express anger, or a full range of emotion, to the same extent as those in the upper echelons. They are denied the dance of dominance. This is how society perpetuates inequalities at the most basic and subtle level, no matter what the public discourse is concerning our rights. It’s much harder to fight internalized assumptions that are so deeply rooted they are either invisible or taken for granted as “nothing to get excited about”.

Physical space and contact are not, of course, the only examples of boundary violations. Whenever someone interrupts, ignores or misinterprets another, or invalidates someone’s opinions and feelings by ridiculing or minimizing them, these tactics are also methods of erasing the integrity of those perceived as less-than. Though women are accused of being voluble, men interrupt us far more often than we do them. This is because of their assumption that they have higher social status.]]></description>

Among mathematically precocious youth — sixth and seventh graders who score more than 700 on the math SAT — 30 years ago boys outnumbered girls 13 to 1, but only about 3 to 1 now.

“That’s not biology at play, it doesn’t change so fast,” Ms. Hill said. “Even if there are biological factors in boys outnumbering girls, they’re clearly not the whole story.

Even if male math geniuses outnumbered female geniuses 3 to 1, Dr. Hopkins said, it would be reasonable to expect one female math professor for every three male professors at places like Harvard and M.I.T. “But in fact, Harvard just tenured its first female, after 375 years,” said Dr. Hopkins, who, famously, walked out of the room after Mr. Summers made his controversial remarks.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Identifying and understanding the distinct patterns of gender bias is the first step towards ensuring that bias does not derail your career.

The Center for WorkLife Law, with support from a NSF ADVANCE leadership grant, has developed this on-line gender bias training that teaches you to identify the four basic patterns of gender bias:

Prove it Again!
The Double Bind
The Maternal Wall
Gender Wars
This training also provides survival strategies for handling each type of bias, as well as:

A series of animated video scenarios illustrating each pattern
Video clips from interviews with gender bias experts
A pop quiz to help you test your knowledge
An on-line game—Gender Bias Bingo
Although gender bias is a serious topic with professionally damaging consequences, WorkLife Law’s gender bias training website offers a zany, brainy approach that allows you to learn what you need to know, share your experiences, and have fun in the process.

I became a man (in name only)

Taking a man’s name opened up a new world. It helped me earn double and triple the income of my true name, with the same work and service.

No hassles. Higher acceptance. And gratifying respect for my talents and round-the-clock work ethic.

Business opportunities fell into my lap. People asked for my advice, and they thanked me for it, too.

As a young woman - Barbara - he said he was discouraged from setting his sights on MIT, where he ended up receiving his bachelor's degree. Once there, he was told that a boyfriend must have solved a hard math problem that he had answered and that had stumped most men in the class. After he began living as a man in 1997, Barres overheard another scientist say, "Ben Barres gave a great seminar today, but his work is much better than his sister's work."

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This is the thread that Angel and Womanist Musings get so agitated on.

The casual dehumanization of children is one of my research interests as a master's candidate in history; it is something I am both fascinated with as an historical and political phenomenon, and passionately opposed to in practice. Children are people. As someone who is opposed to hatred and fear of any group of people based on innate characteristics (skin color, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender) it appalls me how acceptable adults find it to express hatred and fear of children based solely on their age, or for behaviors that can be traced back to their developmental abilities. I see this among a wide range of adult populations, from feminists to Christian fundamentalists -- it's a form of bigotry that is in evidence across the political spectrum.

"Women would comprise 33 percent of the professorships in math-intensive fields if it was based solely on being in the top 1 percent of math ability, but they currently comprise less than 10 percent."

Several large surveys examined in the analysis found that lifestyle choice had the largest influence on career preferences. In a survey of 2,000 33-year-old academic professionals in science careers who were in the top 1 percent of their high school math classes, the men devoted more time to their current job and said they would devote even more time in their dream job compared to the women, suggesting that this could lead to more productivity and promotions.

    For every 10,000 residents, about 3,400 more black people are stopped than whites, and 360 more Latinos are stopped than whites. Stopped blacks are 127 percent more likely to be frisked, and stopped Latinos are 43 percent more likely to be frisked than stopped whites.

The New York Times reported this week that back in 1998, Chairwoman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Brooksley E. Born, warned Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers of the risks inherent in not regulating derivatives. The unregulated derivatives market ultimately would a big part of the unraveling of the U.S. economy.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In the 1800s, the Irish (whether in Ireland, Britain, or the U.S.) were often very negatively stereotyped. In many cases the same negative characteristics attributed to Africans and African Americans (sloth, immorality, destructiveness) were often also associated with the Irish. In fact, some scientists believed the Irish were, like Africans, more closely related to apes than to other Europeans, and in some cases in the U.S., Irish immigrants were classified as Blacks, not Whites.
