News from the PWN Pipeline:
Great post from a blogger whose 8-year-old daughter recognized sexism in the content of young adult "How to Survive..." books. Boys were taught 'How to Survive Whitewater Rapids" whereas girls were taught "How to Survive Embarrassment." A bookstore employee agreed with her daughter and removed all copies of the books from the shelves.
Researchers with the Center for Creative Leadership investigated the decisions and compromises of women in managerial and executive positions. As a valued component of leadership, the importance of 'authenticity' for women in high-level roles was evaluated and prioritized.
Findings from a recent study in the Social Psychological and Personality Science journal suggest that self-entitled women are more likely to endorse benovelent sexism beliefs. As such, women may believe that they are uniquely deserving of more than other women, and thus they should be 'protected' or favored more by men.
Why indeed? Interesting thoughtful article that has probably been the topic of many recent discussions in STEM departments across the country.
