Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: The Economics of Gender Inequality, Pt. IV
IV. Inflexibility of Gender/Pay Relationship Transgender pay differences reflect gender pay differences. Last October, Andrew Sullivan pointed to research that “found that women who become men (known as FTMs) do significantly better than men who become women (MTFs). MTFs in the study earned, on average, 32% less after they transitioned from male to female, even [...]

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime: Economics of Gender Inequality, Pt.2
II. The Myth of the Feminine Mystique Conservative economists like Chapman argue that women generally have chosen to enter fields that pay less, but that’s another way of saying that we don’t regard female-dominated fields such as teaching, nursing, psychology, and social work as professional domains worthy of significant compensation. These fields are often dismissed [...]

That's What My Daddy's Made Me: Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler" Videos
I’ve been listening to the London-based Simian Mobile Disco, a music production team who call themselves “Electro/ Psychadelic/ Alternative” on their Myspace page. They are composed of two guys named James (foreground, left) and claim to sound like “good, old-fashioned, analogue party music” (as their wacky Brit-ball spelling has it). Specifically, I’ve been listening to [...]

'It's Not Rape if She Blinks Twice for Yes' and Other Phallacies of Rape Culture
The New York Times recently reported that yet another rapist is being let off of the hook – as the majority are. Nearly 95% of men standing trial for rape in the United States and the United Kingdom are cleared of all charges, which is a shocking number considering the social, personal and political consequences [...]

Male Answer Syndrome & Homeland Insecurity: Smells Like Bullshit
In high school, I was once asked to read this article about Male Answer Syndrome. Here’s an excerpt I just found online: It is called `Male Answer Syndrome: Why Men always have opinions, even on subjects they know nothing about’ — by Jane Campbell (from Utne Reader, Jan/Feb 1992) “In the animal kingdom, males exhibit [...]

Whassup, Bitches?: Female Chauvinism's Place is in the Garbage.
This poll discussed over at Slate in the article “Man Up!” found that “Despite the recent frenzy of media attention over the issue of race in America, a new poll by CBS (PDF) suggests that gender may cause more problems for contemporary presidential contenders. Thirty-nine percent of those polled think that a woman candidate would [...]

Gloria Steinem On The Clinton-Obama Paradox
I’m too busy reading and writing my thesis and listening to Radiohead’s In Rainbows to write a whole post today. But you should consider reading Gloria Steinem’s piece, Women Are Never Front-Runners, in today’s New York Times’ Op-Ed section, in which she discusses the gender power dynamics being enacted by Democratic presidential candidates Obama (do [...]
