Gender Discrimination and Minorities

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how gender discrimination effects everyone and overlays an additional burden to any true minority and how every man, no matter his race or religion, has a mother and most have sisters, wives and friends who are women effected by gender discrimination. It evaluates the conflict among the experts about just how much effect the combination of race and gender discrimination has upon the individual. It also looks at how the literature associated with discrimination often links race and gender in the same category.

From the Paper:

"Though the overwhelming statistical and behavioral research indicates that the problem of gender discrimination will be hard met and that solutions are complicated and hard to employ, there are many social theorists who argue plans of action that both make sense and will hopefully help the problem. In the past some of the responses to the difficulties that arise when a mixed gender competitive system is in play have been answered with further discrimination, usually leveled against women, something similar to the mythical "separate but equal" that was offered to black children during an earlier era, and interestingly ruled against in the era that allowed these law schools to openly discriminate against women. The twentieth century actually produced retrogression rather than progress. The handful of medical schools that had opened to women in the nineteenth century reduced their offerings in the early 1900s."
