#genderdiscrimination — Public Fediverse posts

"You’re not seen as middle aged, you’re seen as old, whereas your comparable male counterpart is seen as in his prime...

"Whenever you’re perceived to be middle aged, you’re perceived to have family issues, menopause-related issues, or you’re just difficult to manage....

"As they do grow older and more mature in their careers, [women] lose some of the fear of speaking their mind. And certain men don’t like that."

Gender discrimination in Century City private equity firms remains a documented issue. Women continue to face pay gaps, promotion barriers, and retaliation after raising concerns.

California laws like FEHA and the Equal Pay Act provide strong protections for professionals dealing with workplace discrimination.

Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics should not prejudice medical diagnositics, and reserve their assumptions.

There’s a reason why the ‘Separation of duties’ exists in healthcare systems.

CALVIN AND HOBBES ON SEXISM

This article links to a really interesting and well researched paper with a discussion on what we could focus on in sports instead of the unsolvable and discriminatory sex segregation.

(If you can‘t access it, I hope you can find it on scihub. Or ping me.)

#KirshaKaechele's #saga at #MONA involved creating a #LadiesLounge with #male #butlers serving #women, sparked a #genderdiscrimination #lawsuit.

So as a solution the lounge was later replaced by a #restroom with #fake #Picasso paintings, highlighting #patriarchal #absurdity and gaining #international #attention.

IMO, MONA is mislead and wasting of time/money:
It is discriminatory, and MONA could have resolved the issue by focusing on modifying the badly designed installation to be a form of performance art, including the added opportunity for performative ‘discrimination’.

The advice to resolve the issue was clear, but MONA and co evidently lacks the imagination and creativity to make the exhibition lawful.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose again.

MONA should consider employing genuine human rights savvy artit’s/designers/thinkers who are professionally arms-length from gender biases.

I’d be open to temporarily taking leave to be employed as a consultant.

Here's a photo of my p*ssy to please encourage everyone to speak out more about the blatant hypocrisy of #genderDiscrimination in how the #patriarchy categorizes the chests of "people who look female" as "seggsually ekspleeseet newdeetay" while placing no such restrictions against "people who look male."

Polite reminder that, if you happen to be on an instance that isn't defederated from mastodon.social or mastodon.art, I also have profiles on there and would greatly appreciate follows, boosts, etc to help me galvanize more people to the #toplessEquality / #freeTheNipple cause:
