Excerpt: 'On Inauguration Day, two of the three highest offices in America will be held by women. Kamala Harris will be vice president, and Nancy Pelosi will continue to be speaker of the House of Representatives. At the same time, research is coming out about how women often excel at leadership, especially in times of crisis. Jack Zenger is one of the authors of research published in the Harvard Business Review. He’s a former academic, and is now the CEO of Zenger/Folkman, a leadership development consultancy. He told Texas Standard that his curiosity about women’s aptitude for leadership was piqued by conversations during which male business experts said they believed it to be true, even though they didn’t have the data to back it up. Years later, Zenger got access to data from comprehensive evaluations of business leaders by their colleagues. Analysis of those reviews showed that women were better leaders.'

Interviews with Chicago women suggest yes Submitted by Mastodon on Sun, 2021-01-17 01:44 Article here . Excerpt: 'In many cities around the world, design strategies and transportation options have been implemented in an effort to ensure women’s safety and comfort on public transportation. A common tactic is women-only transportation. Women-only transit services are most popular in Asian countries, but also exist in South America, Africa, and Europe. Mexico City is the only North American city to offer women-only transit options. ... Out of the seven women interviewed, six said they would support women-only transit on the CTA. Only one interviewee was against the idea, citing taxpayer costs and the need for other improvements to the system that she saw as higher priorities. However, the same respondent said she would use women-only train cars or sections in “extreme cases.” This respondent also noted that women-only transit could help other women, even if it wouldn’t be effective in increasing her own feelings of safety during daytime commutes.'

Excerpt: 'Brown University and a group of female student-athletes settled a Title IX lawsuit that followed Brown’s elimination of multiple female sports teams. As Campus Reform previously reported in June, Brown announced its decision to eliminate five men’s and six women’s varsity sports teams in light of financial pitfalls induced by COVID-19. Among other programs, the university demoted the women’s fencing, skiing, squash, and equestrian teams to club status. ... The agreement stated that “if Brown restores to varsity status a men’s team that had been slated to transition from varsity to club status… then the total number of women’s teams restored to varsity status must be at least two greater than the number of men’s teams restored.” U.S. District Court Chief Judge John McConnell concluded in December that the settlement was “fair, adequate and reasonable.”' Like 0 Dislike 0 Read more about Brown University settles Title IX lawsuit with female student athletes 1 comment Log in to post comments Americans are more worried about their sons than their daughters Submitted by Matt on Fri, 2021-01-15 23:39 Article here . Excerpt: 'But Americans are in general more worried about the prospects for boys than for girls, and for their own sons more than their own daughters, according to new data from the American Family Survey. Conservatives and men are most concerned about boys in general – but liberals are most worried about their own sons. These views may be influencing political trends, and in particular the growing partisanship gap between men and women. ...

Excerpt: 'This disaggregated data has proven valuable for assessing progress towards more equitable outcomes, especially for marginalized groups. But there is one glaring omission in the subgroups for which data is available: sex. We do not know the national high school graduation rates for girls and boys, since states are not required to provide this data—but, we argue here, this requirement should be added. Across the US, fewer boys are graduating Reliable high school graduation rates by sex are not available at a national level, but, because states are required to track individual students’ graduation status across other demographic groups, many states already collect and publish the rate by gender. (Note that state Departments of Education often report rates by sex, rather than gender identity.) To gauge the national trend, we collected publicly available high school graduation data for the 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 school years.'

Excerpt: 'Exeter City Council set up a task group after the Black Lives Matter protests to decide whether a statue of General Sir Redvers Buller should be moved from its prominent position in the city. The review stated the statue had attracted public debate in part due to references to colonial campaigns on its plinth which 'sought to advance British imperialist interests in other countries'. An equality impact assessment carried out as part of the review also concluded the statue would impact anybody who 'does not define themselves in binary gender terms'. It read: 'The General Buller statue represents the patriarchal structures of empire and colonialism which impact negatively on women and anyone who does not define themselves in binary gender terms. 'The consultation will need to ensure that the views of women, transgender and non-binary people are captured and given due weight.''

Nice to see someone make a few points about this movie, particularly the purloining of a man's body to use sexually. Excerpt: 'Hence, when Diana makes her wish, the resurrection of Steve is the only desire she has (and to be fair, the rest of her life is incredibly privileged and meaningful - what else could she possibly want?). But when Steve is ripped from Heaven’s womb, his soul is placed into the body of … some random guy. A living stranger, whose cons...
