  4. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn’t take you seriously until you’d actually killed them, by which time it didn’t really matter anyway.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 2, The Light Fantastic (1986)

  5. The Matilda Effect in science is where women’s contributions are overlooked, misattributed to men, or forgotten entirely.

    It's wrong.
    It has been going on for AGES.

    An interesting wikipedia entry lists some conspicuous examples:

  6. ‘Pretty birds and silly moos’: the women behind the UK’s Sex Discrimination Act.

    In the 50 years since equal rights for women were enshrined in UK law, the campaigners have been reduced to caricatures, or forgotten.

    But their struggle is worth remembering.

  7. #SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.

    A female employee discovered a male colleague’s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.

    The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Apple’s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.

    The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.

    #Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.

  8. The US Archivist just decided 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to certify the #EqualRightsAmendment (#ERA).
    archives.gov/press/press-relea

    “In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."

    Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.

  9. #WASPI fight is valid. Men born in the #50s & #60s didn't stop #work for #babies, they built #private & #StatePension. #Wives were still expected to be at #home a long time after the 1975 #SexDiscrimination Act. For #women, continuous or full-time #employment & #workpensions weren't as expected nowadays. #Women hadn't the same chance to #save for #retirement but their #pensionage is the same. Shouldn't their have been work & #saving #equity before the #age changed?

  10. The Dep't of Educ. is rolling back #TitleIX changes overseen by Betsy #DeVos that "narrowly defined #sexualharassment & directed #schools to conduct live hearings to allow those accused of sexual harassment or assault to cross-examine their accusers.

    The new rule codifies protections for #transgender students from #sexdiscrimination. It prohibits discrimination against #LGBTQ students & employees based on their sexual orientation, #gender identity & sex characteristics.

  11. "Judge orders Oregon newspaper not to publish documents linked to Nike lawsuit"

    No, no, no, no, no, no, fuck no.

    I really think U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo is full of shit with her verdict. She's not just asking that the newspaper hold into their information *for a while*, she wants the documents returned to the attorney who erroneously released them to the newspaper.

    If I recall correctly, this is a classical case given to law students in law school.

    Q: What happens if an attorney releases information inadvertently to a newspaper?

    A: That attorney is shit out of luck.

    I mean, they can always ask nicely, but the newspaper cannot be forced to return the information. This type of situation even happened when the *court itself* released documents that were under seal. You cannot claw them back.

    Now, I'm not a lawyer. Is there something that makes this case special?

    (Where's @Popehat when you need him??)

    Oh, also. I need to make some introductions. Nike, here's the Streisand Effect. Streisand Effect, here's Nike.
