Survey of Academic Field Experiences (SAFE): Trainees Report Harassment and Assault. Little is known about the climate of the scientific fieldwork setting as it relates to gendered experiences, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.
We conducted an internet-based survey of field scientists (N = 666) to characterize these experiences. Codes of conduct and sexual harassment policies were not regularly encountered by respondents, while harassment and assault were commonly experienced by respondents during trainee career stages. Women trainees were the primary targets; their perpetrators were predominantly senior to them professionally within the research team.
Confronting Implicit Gender Bias in Neuroscience. Progress in neuroscience requires the talent and expertise of all researchers, regardless of their gender, race, or national origins.
Yet progress for women in the sciences, including neuroscience, is still slowed by personal, institutional, and cultural gender biases, often unconscious ones, as researchers now know. When it comes to making progress for women in neuroscience, there is reason for both optimism and concern, and the data bear this out.

A high school in Japan held a ‘Sex Change Day’ this week – where boys dressed in skirts, and girls wore suits and ties.
On Tuesday, Fuji Hokuryo High School, in the Yamanashi prefecture encouraged students to swap uniforms with the opposite sex for a day. Despite the name, the event has nothing to do with reassignment surgery – and was simply intended to promote a message of tolerance and acceptance, and to challenge traditional notions of gender. Japan’s school system usually strongly relies on gender roles, with gender-specific uniforms for boys and girls still expected. Patriarchat jako źródło przemocy.

Podczas grupowych zajęć dla kobiet z ośrodka kryzysowego zaproponowałem temat do rozważań: "Jak na początku znajomości zorientować się, czy mężczyzna będzie bił? ". Widząc lekką konsternację, zapytałem o powód. "Przecież wszyscy faceci biją" - brzmiała zgodna odpowiedź. Ta reakcja postawiła sens dalszego prowadzenia zajęć pod znakiem zapytania. Czy kobiety zarabiają tyle samo co mężczyźni? Polki a rynek pracy W ostatnich latach w Polsce widoczny jest wzrost aktywności zawodowej kobiet.

Both male and female subjects in a recent experiment perceived near-naked men in sexualized ads as human beings, but could only see attractive women as objects.
PROBLEM: Women's bare bodies are on display in billboards, movie posters, and many other kinds of ads. Though plenty of studies have looked at the ramifications of this pervasive sexual objectification, it's unclear if we see near-naked people as human beings or if we really do view them as mere objects. METHODOLOGY: Researchers led by Philippe Bernard presented participants pictures of men and women in sexualized poses, wearing a swimsuit or underwear, one by one on a computer screen. Since pictures of people present a recognition problem when they're turned upside down, but images of objects don't have that problem, some of the photos were presented right side up and others upside down. RESULTS: The male and female subjects matched the photos similarly.
Your Princess Is in Another Castle: Misogyny, Entitlement, and Nerds. I was going to write about The Big Bang Theory—why, as a nerdy viewer, I sometimes like it and sometimes have a problem with it, why I think there’s a backlash against it.
Then some maniac shot up a sorority house in Santa Barbara and posted a manifesto proclaiming he did it for revenge against women for denying him sex. And the weekend just generally went to hell. So now my plans have changed. The Art of Mansplaining. Around the feminist blogosphere, the phenomenon of mansplaining has been duly noted as of late.
This is also known as the Men Who Know Things phenomenon, whereby some men mistakenly believe that they automatically know more about any given topic than does a woman and will, consequently, proceed to explain to her- correctly or not- things that she already knows. The mansplainer's problem isn't so much that he's trying to teach a woman something, but rather that he takes it as a given that she doesn't already know whatever it is he is going to tell her. As someone who lives life as a female human, the sheer numbers of women in comment threads who have recounted experiences of Being Mansplained To is not at all surprising.
Despite my general competence at life, dudes mansplain things to me all the time. Why Time's cover shocks - Media Criticism. It’s going to be a long Mom War, people.
In case you thought, nay, hoped, that the barrel-bottom had been fully scraped last week when the New York Times asked, in a query straight out of the Onion, “Has women’s obsession with being the perfect mother destroyed feminism? ,” now Time magazine has upped the ante with a cover story brazenly challenging “Are You Mom Enough?” It’s accompanied, by the way, by a picture of a hot blonde and her 3-year-old son standing on a chair to suckle her breast.
