Wade have implications for gender equality in the workplace? While the Supreme Court decision is bound to penalize women’s But the Justices’ pronouncement does more than restore the narrative that women lack decision-making abilities. Framing women's health as secondary to their role of caregivers, the opinion also reinforces those generalizations that dictate what women should be and how they should act. In the workplace, a woman who doesn't display the traits of a It shouldn’t go unnoticed that the Supreme Court decision may also bolster the public’s acceptance of traditional gender differences. A slump toward the past can be expected because the legal frame the Justices tapped into—originalism—underscores a form of moral judgment that touts Whether or not the evoked past is one where some groups lacked liberties, rights and constitutional protections while others had disproportionate power and influence is only a detail. That is, Alito’s opinion not only ignores the many forms of discrimination women had to overcome. It also casts an aura of rightness over that history. Calling Organizations To Action If the old order is inherently ethical, women are bad decision-makers and their chief responsibility is to play caregiver, what is there to fix? A lot. Simply put, backtracking decades of...

Image Source: Qz.com Have you ever heard of people criticising Air India for having ‘older’ air hostesses? They often try to justify their statement with further misogynistic remarks of there being an unspoken standard set by the industry of having certain kind of women be air hostesses — the pretty and young with just the right hair and makeup. They claim it to be a part of the air travel experience. But little do these people know that there is a story of a great struggle for women’s rights and equality there. This story is not like any other legal battle you know of. It took place over a span of 30 years, with many cases filed before tribunals, high courts and supreme court and in many phases. Hereunder are the judgments passed through the years that narrate this struggle. 1982: Air India v. Nargesh Meerza The judgment of the Nargesh Meerza case marked the first phase of the struggle. The retirement age of air hostesses was 35 years, much lesser than their male counterparts who had their retirement at 58 years, and was raised to 45 years by the Supreme Court in 1982. While this order may have been seen as a progressive step, the relief granted under it was only momentary. This Supreme Court order came with its own evils, the most obvious one being that there still was no equality. A much deeper examination of the judgement reveals the true nature of bigotry that existed back then. It justified the discrimination between male air flight pursers and female air hostesses b...

Flight attendants were some of the people at the forefront of the fight for equality in the 20th century. Read about some of these remarkable people below. Ruth Carol Taylor, a nurse, became the first African American flight attendant when she was hired by Mohawk Airlines in December 1957. Taylor had applied earlier for a job at TWA but was rejected. She filed a complaint with the New York State Commission Against Discrimination. Concurrently, New York State authorities persuaded Mohawk to hire women of color. Mohawk accepted 800 applications, from which Taylor was chosen. TWA, facing nine complaints, relented and hired Margaret Grant as their first African American flight attendant in 1958. Further hires by airlines were few until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Taylor’s career was brief. She was let go after six months when she married—a casualty of ...

Protesters gather outside the Supreme Court in Washington where the Court on Oct. 8, 2019, as the court heard arguments in the first case of LGBT rights since the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Susan Walsh/AP Updated Feb. 25, 4:39 p.m. ET The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to pass the Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It would also substantially expand the areas to which those discrimination protections apply. It's a bill that President Biden said on the When House Democrats introduced the bill last week, Biden reiterated his support in a statement: "I urge Congress to swiftly pass this historic legislation," he wrote. "Every person should be treated with dignity and respect, and this bill represents a critical step toward ensuring that America lives up to our foundational values of equality and freedom for all." But it's also controversial — while the Equality Act has broad support among Democrats, many Republicans oppose it, fearing that it would infringe upon religious objections. Here's a quick rundown of what the bill would do, and what chance it has of becoming law. What would the Equality Act do? The The bill has been introduced multiple times before and previously passed the House in 2019. However, the law's impact would be different in practical terms now than it was then. That's because the Supreme Court This act would explicitly enshrine those nondi...
