An excellent article about a lovely film of acceptance, allyship and long-term friendship. Great to see it on the RTE website, sometimes not the most supportive of media outlets for trans! https://lnkd.in/eqNNqNwC

    I am thrilled to share that my critical analysis of Spartacus (1960) and Cleopatra (1963) has been published! In this essay, I examine how both films reflect the gritty and glamorous mindsets of 1960s America. Spartacus depicts the struggle and resilience of slaves, mirroring the oppression of communists. Meanwhile, as women became more politically active and sexually liberated, Cleopatra too follows, presenting a strong, assertive female protagonist, illustrating shifting gender roles in society.Read it and let me know what you think about it! https://lnkd.in/g44kUKUt

    In a world where men have dominated the narrative of history, relegating women to roles as providers rather than operators, complements rather than executors, and extras rather than icons. However, due to centuries of oppression, women symbolize resilience, perseverance, and courage. They have survived rejection and neglect, and despite the tremendous obstacles they have faced, they have thrived: nurturing communities, they have created societies. If it wasn't yesterday, it is now the urgent moment to reclaim that legitimacy. We are the generation tasked with closing the gender gap, advocating for justice, security, equal treatment, and fair and equal conditions. Please, let's fight for a more equitable future.#March8 #March82024https://lnkd.in/eJApndZB

    Are gay romcoms going mainstream? And what does that mean for the genre that emerged out of queer film festival circuits?I have been researching and writing on the gay romcom for the past few years as a side project. This genre is a favourite of mine, and one that I only got to see after I had become an adult. Here are some top level findings from my research.https://lnkd.in/g6SvABsGhttps://lnkd.in/gj2t9JRmhttps://lnkd.in/grmTYzmr

    For the first time in many years, I'm not giving an #iwd speech at a breakfast or lunch adorned with pink balloons, pretty cupcakes, and lots of flowers. That's not a bad thing - I don't miss the performative pink and there are many other far more diverse and deserving women who should be spotlighted on stages this International Women's Day. In recent years when I've been a speaker for IWD, I've tried to demonstrate how #genderbias exists by "flipping the script" -- showing some of the ways we speak about women and how ridiculous it sounds when we say the same things about men. A great resource for laughing about this, and for maintaining some sanity as a woman in a man's world, is the social media account @manwhohasitall (see links below).In the same spirit, this video by In Her Chair is a great way of demonstrating through humour the #unconsciousbias women face at work. In this video, ten male Swiss CEOs answer questions that are usually only asked of women: https://lnkd.in/gkb_h2Vz And the kicker is these questions, and many more far worse, really do get asked! In my executive coaching work with women leaders in human rights, humanitarianism and development, I've heard so many stories like these of the ridiculous questions that women get asked in interviews, and the overt and subtle discrimination they face in the workplace. The problem is, these days it's unconscious bias that is often showing through, not deliberately outrageous statements. That's why it's so useful to flip the script as a way of seeing that these things, while often innocuous on the surface, are indeed discriminatory -- because if we wouldn't say it to men, we shouldn't say it to women.If you want some light relief, and some ideas about how to #flipthescript , check out Man Who Has It All:FB: https://lnkd.in/giG9TrgwInsta: https://lnkd.in/gWG7jfN5X: https://lnkd.in/gTEYrEM7and soon in print form: https://lnkd.in/gBR9C7h3 #flippingpatriarchy #genderequality #genderinequality #iwd2024

    Race Equality Week day 2: Embracing cultural differencesToday we focus on different cultures. Growing our global impact requires business to attract a global workforce of people with an array of views and from multiple cultures.Today, ask yourself:How often do I read books, listen to music or podcasts or watch movies which expose myself to different views and cultures?We shouldn’t keep asking those with lived experience to educate us when there are enough resources (including Google!) to do our own research. Here are some examples of the benefits of exposing yourself to different views:It helps you understand the barriers and challenges people naturally face because of their differences.It helps to debunk stereotypes.You learn to respect people’s differences and cultures.Take-away: How do our differences also reveal our similarities?Exposing ourselves to different views introduces us to new things and experiences that make our lives richer. Attracting people with different experiences to work with you, will make the workforce richer.Finally, a short clip challenging the boxes that people are put inhttps://lnkd.in/d-Pv-dYrMalaika Oyortey MSc #raceequalityweek

    Misogyny & Misandry.Are these words gender specific words of a neutral term 'sexism' or something more filled with hate?For some reason, when googling Misogyny, it implies hatred as a leading descriptor for the word which isn't evident in the opposite term Misandry.Misogynist, a person with hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls.Misandrist, a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against men.Sexism is characterised by or showing prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, on the basis of sex.I am constantly seeing references to Misogyny being a contributing or main factor for gender specific violence against women.I find this to be misleading or inadequate if the word does contain the 'hatred' suggested in many definitions on Google. If however, it is indeed, just a gender specific word for sexist, then I find it could be an adequate use of the term.I note the words popularity came after Julia Gillard famous speak, where the words Misogyny and sexism were not used interchangeable but in tantum.(Julia was amazing in this speak, wonder why she didn't survive?)I don't know many communication experts but perhaps William David may be able to provide some context to the correct use of these terms?Any other insights? Thanks Mark H. for inspiration this ponder. Respectful conversations and open communications often lead to greater clarity, understanding and better outcomes for all.https://lnkd.in/gVKE962A
