  • the law of Gender Stereotyping and the work family conflicts of men
    Hastings Law Journal, 2012
    Co-Authors: Stephanie Bornstein
    Abstract:

    This Article looks back to the early equal protection jurisprudence of the 1970s and Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s litigation strategy of using men as plaintiffs in sex discrimination cases to cast a renewed focus on antidiscrimination law as a means to redress the work-family conflicts of men. From the beginning of her litigation strategy as the head of the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, Ginsburg defined sex discrimination as the detrimental effects of Gender stereotypes that constrained both men and women from living their lives as they wished—not solely the minority status of women. The same sex-based stereotypes that kept women out of the market sphere kept men out of the domestic sphere, and both were unlawful. Through a handful of key cases, Ginsburg challenged sex-based stereotypes that cast men as breadwinner and women as caregiver, succeeding in convincing the Supreme Court to establish a standard of heightened scrutiny for sex-based classifications.

    Abstract:

From the beginning of her litigation strategy as the head of the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, Ginsburg defined sex discrimination as the detrimental effects of Gender stereotypes that constrained both men and women from living their lives as they wished — not solely the minority status of women. The same sex-based stereotypes that kept women out of the market sphere kept men out of the domestic sphere, and both were unlawful. Through a handful of key cases, Ginsburg challenged sex-based stereotypes that cast men as breadwinner and women as caregiver, succeeding in convincing the Supreme Court to establish a standard of heightened scrutiny for sex-based classifications. By combining jurisprudence under equal protection doctrine, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Family and Medical Leave Act, this Article argues that courts are failing to recognize actionable sex discrimination against men in the work-family context. Following the reasoning first adopted by the Supreme Court in the cases litigated by Ginsburg in the 1970s, penalizing men at work for acting as caregivers instead of unencumbered breadwinners is sex discrimination under Title VII.

  • unfair tournaments Gender Stereotyping and wage discrimination among italian graduates
    Gender & Society, 2013
    Co-Authors: Carolina Castagnetti, Luisa Rosti
    Abstract:

    This paper addresses the Gender pay gap among Italian university graduates on entry to the labor market, and stresses the potential for Gender stereotypes to impact subjective assessment of individual productivity. We build upon previous research about Gender and wage inequality, introducing tournament theory as a framework for the Gender pay gap analysis. We hypothesize that the effects of Gender make occupational tournaments less fair in some arenas compared with others. As a consequence, men workers have higher probabilities of winning the wage competition, but this process is uneven. Our data show that in contexts where stereotypes are most likely to occur, tournaments appear to be less fair and the unexplained component of the Gender pay gap is higher.

    Abstract:

    This paper addresses the Gender pay gap among Italian university graduates on entry to the labor market, and stresses the importance of Gender stereotypes on subjective assessment of individual productivity. We build upon previous research about Gender and wage inequality introducing tournament theory as a convenient framework for the Gender pay gap analysis. We hypothesize that the effects of Gender stereotypes make occupational tournaments unfair. As a consequence, male workers have higher probabilities of winning the wage competition. Our data show that in contexts where the stereotype is most likely to occur, making tournaments less fair, the unexplained component of the Gender pay gap is higher.

  • the bad mother stigma abortion and surrogacy
    Social Science Research Network, 2015
    Co-Authors: Paula L Abrams
    Abstract:

    Why do certain decisions about reproduction enGender social support, other decisions social disapproval? Surrogacy and abortion represent two different facets of procreative liberty, the right to reproduce and the right to avoid reproducing, but these different experiences may carry similar stigmatic harm, for both disrupt traditional expectations of the pregnant woman. This article examines how stigma attached to abortion and surrogacy reveals similar patterns of Gender Stereotyping. It argues that evidence of stigma is relevant to determining whether laws regulating abortion or surrogacy are based on impermissible Stereotyping. Stigma evidence is probative in determining whether Gender stereotypes influenced legislative purpose and in assessing the degree of harm imposed by a regulation.

  • the bad mother stigma abortion and surrogacy
    Journal of Law Medicine & Ethics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Paula L Abrams
    Abstract:

    Stigma taints individuals with a spoiled identity and loss of status or discrimination. This article is the first to examine the stigma attached to abortion and surrogacy and consider how law may stigmatize women for failing to conform to social expectations about maternal roles. Courts should consider evidence of stigma when evaluating laws regulating abortion or surrogacy to determine whether these laws are based on impermissible Gender Stereotyping.

    Abstract:

    This study examines Gender segregation in the context of the so-called gig economy. In particular, it explores the role that stereotypes about male and female occupations play in sorting men and women into different jobs in an online freelance marketplace. The findings suggest that Gender stereotypes are particularly salient in online hiring because employers typically contract for short-term, relatively low-value jobs based on limited information about job applicants. These conditions trigger the use of cognitive shortcuts about intrinsic Gender characteristics linked to different skills and occupations. The results corroborate that female candidates are less likely to be hired for male-typed jobs (e.g., software development) but more likely to be hired for female-typed jobs (e.g., writing and translation) than equally qualified male candidates. Further, the study investigates three mechanisms predicted to attenuate the female penalty in male-typed jobs. The penalty is found to be self-reinforcing, as it perpetuates Gender imbalances in worker activity across job categories that strengthen the sex-typing of occupations.
