Tips to survive the dog days of sexism.(THE LAST LAUGH)
One of my most time-consuming but journalistically rewarding duties at WIHE is creating the monthly Newswatch. I'm a news junkie, so I enjoy keeping up on things.
But ever since Hillary left the spotlight, I've noticed gender news is off the radar. (Maybe it's due to strong competition from threats to our survival: economic recession, war, chaotic weather, the price of gas.)
What news I find about women is hardly good. To help change that equation, here are some bad news / good ideas scenarios I've collected to help women on campus:
* Airline travelers: Airlines charging $25 to check a second (or even first) bag is a sexist policy. Women are expected to bring products for the hair, nails, skin and other bodily parts, plus a greater variety of clothes than men.
* Write letters to the airline leaders pointing out the sexism of the new policy, and suggest that instead they charge passengers by their body weight.
* Travel with one large bag weighing less than 50 pounds, and stuff heavier items on a wheeled carry-on.
* Find other ways to travel. The Internet? Broom?
