Gender Issues: Communication Differences In Interpersonal Relationships
Campbell Hall 1787 Neil Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43210. gender issues Communication Differences in Interpersonal Relationships. FLMFS-4-02.
http://ohioline.osu.edu/flm02/FS04.html

Extractions: Ohio State University Extension, The Ohio State University Studies indicate that women, to a greater extent than men, are sensitive to the interpersonal meanings that lie "between the lines" in the messages they exchange with their mates. That is, societal expectations often make women responsible for regulating intimacy, or how close they allow others to come. For that reason, it is argued that women pay more attention than men to the underlying meanings about intimacy that messages imply. Men on the other hand, to a greater extent than women, are more sensitive to "between the lines meanings" about status. For men, societal expectations are that they must negotiate hierarchy, or who's the captain and who's the crew (Tannen, 1990; Wood, 2001). These differences in emphasis on interpersonal vs. status implications of messages typically lead women to expect relationships to be based on interdependence (mutual dependence) and cooperation. Women more frequently emphasize the similarities between themselves and others, and try to make decisions that make everyone happy. In contrast, it is more typical for men to expect relationships to be based on independence and competition. Men more frequently emphasize the differences between themselves and others, and often make decisions based on their personal needs or desires.
The National Center For Gender Issues In ADHD
To support the cause of girls and women with ADHD join The National Center for gender issues and AD/HD. The Center for gender issues
http://www.addvance.com/ADDvance/NCGI.htm

Extractions: ADHD is a neurological disorder affecting millions of individuals, limiting their potential, affecting their families, and interfering with many aspects of their daily lives. For girls and women, ADHD is often a hidden disorder, ignored or misdiagnosed by the educational and medical communities causing these girls and women to suffer in silence. Promoting awareness, advocacy, and research in women and girls The principal aims of NCGI are to to raise awareness of the impact of ADHD on girls and women to disseminate information about ADHD in females to a broad spectrum of the population Improved knowledge and a better understanding of girls and women with ADHD have the potential to improve many lives and relieve countless women of the shame with which they have grown up. To date, the medical community, as well as the general population, remains ignorant of the unique impact of ADHD on females. Current diagnostic criteria that continue to emphasize traits common to boys leave the majority of girls and women with ADHD to remain undiagnosed and misunderstood. To address this problem, the National Center for Gender Issues in ADHD has been founded. Sponsorship of research

Extractions: As a happily married Muslim couple who almost weren't, we need to speak on their behalf, even though Islam does not permit same-sex marriages. If gays and lesbians wish to pursue their own path in life, who are we to place obstacles in their way? If their choices are contrary to that of the Divine, only the Divine can be certain. Mind Over Mullah Mernissis ideas are always challenging but well covered and sensible. To explain the terrifying ascent of terrorist imams, she makes the distinction between the media imam (a modern creation) and the traditional imam (a reality during the time of the Prophet). The media imam is a creation of modern technology. He, in turn, uses modern technology to magnify his presence and bulldoze his rhetoric over the many complex debates the community could potentially participate in. However, the traditional imam was vulnerable and utterly challengeable when he failed to secure the rights of each individual in society. August 11, 2003
Gender Issues In Computer Networking

Extractions: Six months ago, at the Computers, Freedom and Privacy_ conference held in the Bay Area, a panel was devoted to gender issues in computing and telecommunications. It was organized by BAWITBay Area Women in Telecommunications, a working group sponsored by the Berkeley, California chapter of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. As a member of BAWITalthough never IRL (in real life) I commented on their paper and shared some bibliographic sources. Earlier this month U.S.A. Today featured a story on: "High-Tech Harassment... sexual harassment is making inroads in cyberspace as female users increasingly report instances of lewd messages, suggestive graphics or even electronic stalking over computer networks. Most reported incidents have been at universities..." (U.S. A. Today) Today, I will discuss some of the key issues and controversies that have arisen regarding gender and computer networking, including participation of women in computer science, participation of women in networking, issues of access to networking, social interactions, pornography, and the use of networking by women. I will summarize by suggesting possible strategies and policies that community networks can adopt in order to ensure that women will be equitably represented.

http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~nrcgt/news/spring99/sprng994.html

Extractions: There has been a great deal of research conducted on gender differences and stereotypes of both regular and gifted students. A study by Benbow (1992) reported that fewer females are labeled as mathematically gifted than males. The study also stated that females labeled as gifted are less likely to take demanding high school math and science courses, major in math or science in college (40% vs. 72%), or pursue a career in a math or science-related field (24% vs. 56%). For whatever reason, gifted females may hold poor perceptions of their mathematics and science abilities. Perceptions are a learned trait. One study capitalized on this assumption and attempted to help gifted females "unlearn" those potentially detrimental attitudes that they possessed and develop a more realistic and healthy outlook of themselves and their abilities. This study, conducted by Heller and Ziegler in 1996, assumed that a person's achievement stemmed from two variables, locus of control (either external or internal) and stability (either stable or variable). An external factor is one that a subject is unable to control, such as task difficulty or chance, and an internal factor is one that is able to be controlled by the subject, such as ability or effort. Stability was measured as the consistency of a characteristic over time. Ability and task difficulty were seen as stable, effort and chance were considered variable.

http://www.abanet.org/publiced/focus/f96gend.html

Extractions: Family Law Classroom Exercises for Teaching Gender Issues [Editor's Note: Below are suggestions from some conferees who participated in the "Feminism and Family" workshop of the ABA "Families and Law" conference of April, 1996.] It is important to have students reflect on ways in which gender has shaped their lives, both positively and negatively. Therefore, men need to think of ways in which gender has both privileged and disadvantaged them. For women, the converse may be true. I use some of my own experiences, such as this one: I am alone in my house, have just gone to bed, and realize I left my windows open downstairs. I ask: what do I do? Women tend to respond that they would get up, go downstairs, and lock the windows. Men hardly understand the question. Men become aware that physical safety is of great concern to women. I then ask them to consider what this means. One thing it means is that women are more vulnerable than men. But it may also mean that we expect men to be "braver" than women. I might then ask men to relate experiences where they were expected to be brave. Were they? Did they feel pressured to act so?

http://info.lut.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/gennet.html

Extractions: The Gender Issues Network or GENNET has been active from 1991 to 1997. It produced a brochure with information about the meaning of gender and a gender approach in the water sector, references and some hints for application (electronic copies still available from IRC), two sourcebooks, two reports on gender and the work of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council and four newsletters. It also developed a very rapid (10 minutes) participatory gender analysis tool which became very popular to create awareness and basic understanding of gender issues and their importance for the water sector during larger gatherings. This has also been translated into other languages. This tool is still available from IRC. GENNET was discontinued in 1998 when the envisaged support through the WSSCC did not materialise. It has been replaced by the Gender and Water Alliance, which is active across the whole water sector: water for food (irrigation), water for nature (land and water use) and water and sanitation for people. The Gender and Water Alliance was created during the 2nd World Water Forum as a result of gender mainstreaming being placed high on the agenda of the water sector. The Gender and Water Alliance was launched to help implement water visions. A total of 110 organisations are presently members (including members of GENNET) with IRC acting as the secretariat for the alliance. In view of synergies established at the Fourm and the international recognition received for the alliance, it has been suggested that alliance now be responsbile for mainstreaming gender within the Council's activities. This would allow coordination to be continued by IRC.

Gender Issues Related To Spaceflight: A NASA Perspective
SPACE TRAVEL. gender issues Related To Spaceflight A NASA Perspective hanging out in LEO. Bethesda Dec 3, 2001 Twenty-two percent
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/spacemedicine-01b.html

Extractions: Twenty-two percent of the active astronaut corps are women (35 of 158). The average female astronaut is 42 years old (vs. 43 years for men) and weighs 60.7 kg (vs. 81.2 kg for men). Insufficient data exist in most of the discipline areas at the present time to draw valid conclusions about gender-specific differences in astronauts or to determine their impact on the health of male and female astronauts. The inability to draw statistical comparisons based on gender differences is linked to the small number of female astronauts, resulting in an insufficient study sample. In addition, individual differences in physiological responses within genders are usually as large as, or larger than, differences between genders, so individual characteristics usually outweigh gender differences per se. Despite these obstacles, a minireview in the November edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology, a publication of the American Physiological Society (APS), offers a summary of gender-specific physiological changes and health issues in astronauts for future consideration and in light of the expectation that the number of female astronauts will grow. The review is part of the APS's fall focus on gender differences in physiology. It provides an overview of known and potential gender differences in physiological responses to spaceflight and covers cardiovascular and exercise physiology, barophysiology and decompression sickness, renal stone risk, immunology, neurovestibular and sensorimotor function, nutrition, pharmacotherapeutics, and reproduction.
