add your insight... I thought that this was a very interesting way to bring to light how society sees women vs men in the form of feedback during interviews. This seems to be a perfect example how women continue to be studied on a different scale in today’s society. In this article it brought to light how the word abrasive keeps coming up in a woman’s interview as a major negative trait where as in a man’s interview that is rarely brought up at all. This is a perfect example of how women are fit to the stereotype of submissive and second in command. Sure maybe some of the women in the interviews were abrasive by any standard but when there is such a huge difference between the 71 reviews of abrasive women vs. the 2 reviews of abrasive men it is safe to say that women are being gaged a very different scale.

Sometimes, the effects of sexism and implicit gender bias are difficult to show. However, in the case of women's health care, there's very little ambiguity. Women should be aware of what these problems look like, so that they can identify doctors who similarly understand them and can fairly diagnose and treat them.

This is actually something I discussed a while back with a friend of mine who is from Russia, how there is such a huge lack of marriageable men that women there consider being a mail order bride a good alternative to spinsterhood.

add your insight...Many things affect the way women are viewed by society, and workplace policies definitely have an affect on how women are viewed and how they choose to spend their life. Unfair workplace policies can lead to women making choices that aren’t best for them or what they would prefer. As mentioned in the article if given the choice women would choose to have a career or at least have a non-stereotypical relationship. Meaning that they would not stick with their traditional gender role as the housekeeper and stay at home mom. However, if non-equal workplace policies are in place women are more likely to choose these roles. As we can see from the surveys conducted in the article.

"Yesterday the United States Women’s Soccer Team defeated Japan 5-2 in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final in Vancouver, claiming their third world title. The event was watched by soccer fans around the country, and was called a “ratings knockout” but couldn't come close to those drawn by men’s soccer in Brazil last summer...while some states have made great strides in reducing this gender gap, others still have great inequity that needs to be addressed to effectively celebrate and give potential American female athletes the opportunities they deserve to succeed."

Sports are an example of how women are not viewed as equal to men. And in certain ways women are definitely not the same in this area. Men do have more natural upper body strength and do create larger amounts of points and point gaps between that of women and men. However, that does not make it right for women to get less funding than men, or for women to have to work harder to achieve the same goals as men.

This article talks about how not many men are interested in watching women’s sport. I think gender inequity is a major problem in general, not only in sports. Police officers are mostly men as well, as well as many high ranked jobs. We just need to keep working on it as a nation and think that the women who are being discriminated are women of our nation.

An important issue of our time is the gap between women and men not only in pay and workplace equality but sports and athletics also. With such a huge presence of many strong, dominate female sporting teams, the question needs to be asked, what more can we do to give these women the recognition and respect of which they deserve?

This article describes how language is sexist. And I agree it does seem to trend that way. Like how there is Ms. But not any abbreviation for a single male, however, although this is an important point, there really isn’t a lot that can be done about it. Also although there are a lot of male centered connotations and phrases that don’t technically include women. I think that the mind set of the person saying it isn’t necessarily sexist. I also think that it is basically a tradition ingrained in us to use phrases like that and I don’t really think that it is that essential for women equality for this to change.

I like how author stated fact about “women being on the market” and that we do call indicate whether women single or married by calling her miss. Author makes a very clear and valid point that so many position nowadays indicates or states that that it is gender based (for example spokesman or spokeswomen instead of spokesperson). I agree that there shouldn’t be any racist or gender based statements in the literature as well. It is interesting how authors in 18 century were using words that wouldn’t offend anyone, versus where now we can always hear him or her or some other statements where we can identify class and race of a person.
