Feminist Perspectives on Reproduction and the Family First published Sat Nov 6, 2004; substantive revision Mon Oct 21, 2013 Historically, few of the philosophers who defended justice in the public political realm argued for just family structures. Instead, most viewed the family as a separate realm that needed to be protected from state intrusion. The private sphere and the public sphere were dichotomized into separate realms with the latter beyond the reach of public action. Where these philosophers did not legitimate private power in the family, they simply ignored it. John Stuart Mill was a notable exception, arguing in The Subjection of Women, that the inequality of women in the family was incompatible with their equality in the wider social world. 1. Feminists argue that the so-called private realms of family, sex and reproduction must be part of the political realm and thus subject to principles of justice for three distinct reasons: Families are not “natural” orderings, but social institutions backed up by laws. 2.
And Read All Over jamellebouie.net Readability An implicit network, not overt racism, keeps tech writing dominated by white men. This article was first published in The Magazine, Issue 7 Click through to the “about” page of any technology magazine, website, or blog, and you often find individual or group pictures of the staff and regular contributors. What’s noticeable is so in its absence: You find precious few brown people. The quantity isn’t zero, of course. Quite a few people of color have high-level postings. The writers at Macworld are mostly white and mostly male, and a glance at staff photos at websites like The Next Web, The Verge, Engadget reveals few people of color. If the majority of technology users belonged to a select demographic group, this would make more sense, but that’s not the case at all: Gadgets are used by everyone. So why aren’t more of them writing about tech? The problem There are problems of access and representation, but in general, Asian-American bylines are easy to find among tech sites and magazines.
Sex in College: It's a Buyer's Market | Dollars and Sex For every 100 men on university campuses in Canada there are 136 women, and across North America women are heading off to college at much higher rates than men. From an economic (and perhaps evolutionary biology) perspective, that makes it a buyer’s market. According to new research recently published in Sociological Quarterly, giving market power to men is leading to an increase in promiscuity on campuses and creating negative attitudes among women toward dating and relationships Using a nationally representative sample of US college students, the paper finds that on college campuses with fewer women relative to men, women are more likely to be virgins. For example, women on college campuses who have never had a college boyfriend have a 69% chance of being a virgin when 47% of all students are female compared to only a 54% chance when 60% of all students are female. It isn’t that the women on the low ratio campuses don’t date, either. Regnerus, Mark and Jeremy Uecker (2010).

Equal Justice Works | Helping Lawyers Help Community What's Being Done to Stop Human Trafficking? | The Daily Muse This month, during Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we’ve discussed frequently asked questions about trafficking and learned from women who have made battling modern-day slavery their professional mission. But there’s another component to the fight against human trafficking you should know about: what governments are doing to prevent and address the issue in their own countries and around the world. In general, government intervention varies—while some countries are creating policies that work for their cultures, others are lagging behind with no counter-trafficking laws at all. There are also some international standards: In 2003, the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons established a universal trafficking definition and set a goal for countries to prevent and combat trafficking and assist victims. These efforts are challenging, however, as there is no one way to address the variations in trafficking across the world. United States India The U.S. Cambodia
