ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent.

  • From the Head of School
    From the Head of School December 2007/January 2008 Dateline: Johannesburg, South Africa My time in South Africa has left me asking Shakespeare’s question, ‘What’s in a name?’ I went seeking partnerships with the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls and African Leadership Academy (ALA), two schools in Johannesburg that are committed to developing the next generation of African leaders. I went to forge relationships that will be beneficial to our school and to these two Leadership Academies. Castilleja’s global education initiatives will clearly be enhanced by these relationships, but what do we bring to the table? Make no mistake about it: I was asked that question often, beginning just a few hours after our 22-hour trip from San Francisco. That first night John and I went out to dinner with John’s longtime friend and colleagueCharlayne Hunter-Gault, until recently CNN’s bureau chief for South Africa, and her husband, business leader Ron Gault. After an invaluable orientation to the current social, political and economic climate of the city and country, they cut to the chase. “What makes you think you can help or that these schools will want your help?” It was a gentle but direct warning about the danger of coming across as ‘educational imperialists,’ a sensitive issue in a country that has only recently shaken off the shackles of white rule. Forewarned, I resolved to keep quiet about our 100 years of educating women to be leaders. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried, because Castilleja’s reputation preceded me, and the leaders at each Leadership Academy asked questions and sought my advice.

Nine budget scenarios were presented by VP Erickson and associate VP Richard Pfutzenreuter at a joint meeting of Senate Committee on Finance and Planning and Faculty Consultative Committee (FCC) Dec. 21. Each option contained different assumptions about salary increases, tuition increases, nonsalary inflationary increases, and the size of a strategic investment pool (SIP). Detailed summary of the discussion is in the committee minutes. One big variable is facilities costs, VP Erickson said. Whether winter is cold or mild, and whether summer is hot or cool, has a significant effect on utility costs; in recent years the U has been lucky in this respect. If the U begins to provide more access as part of U 2000, that will mean keeping buildings open longer. If classes can be clustered, Erickson said, not only can amenities be increased but utility costs can be controlled. Accomplishing this would require faculty cooperation in scheduling. Actual cost of delivering a 6% salary increase to faculty and staff was debated. Some said it could be as small as 4% when turnovers and vacancies are accounted for; others expressed great doubt that it could be that little. Historically, someone said, when units were provided the full percentage, the actual raises delivered were higher because of increases on vacant lines and turnover. FCC has said 6% increases should be funded, but it was not clear whether this meant delivering a full 6% to units or giving them whatever it takes to give 6% raises.

    Gender and the Law Stories: Learning from the Longstanding Debate The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lecture --- Feb. 7, 2011 Martha Minow1 To give a lecture named for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to this august assembly is an extraordinary honor, and to do so in her company is simply a joy. Justice Ginsburg, your significance to my professional fields of civil procedure, constitutional law, and gender and the law is simply unparalleled. And your place in my own life includes pivotal encouragement as you joined the appellate bench and while I served as a clerked. Later, there was a memorable phone call telling me you nominated me to serve on the board of the American Bar Foundation—an affiliation that changed my research and my relationship with the bar. I will never forget your support as I decided to entitle an article, “Justice Engendered,” in the Harvard Law Review. Your example-- as a short, Jewish woman whose work opens the literal and professional doors I have been lucky enough to enter. Your repeated kindnesses mean more than I can ever say. 1 Dean and Jeremiah Smith, Jr. Professor, Harvard Law School. Thanks to Vicki Jackson, Josephine Minow, Nell Minow, Newton Minow, and Joe Singer for helpful comments, and to the many friends and students who helped with my in efforts in the related work published in Elizabeth Schneider and Stephanie Waldman, Women and the Law Stories (2011) and Martha Minow, In Brown’s Wake: Legacies of America’s Judicial Landmark (2010). 1 I want to take a moment to salute Marty, who I know loved this event and who remains a distinguished, beloved graduate of my school—and the chef of one of the few good meals I had while in Washington.

Cartesian duality has helped to create the marginalization of people, environments, and animals inherent in Western thought. Writing pedagogy based in current-traditional rhetoric uses a writing process that reinforces the hierarchical structure of Self/Other, Author/Reader, and Teacher/Student.

Every other week, the class meets at a natural site in our area—Blue Spring, Lyonia Reserve, and Smyrna Dunes Park are some of these locations. In between the site visits, we meet in the classroom for writing workshops and peer editing. Assignments include edited field notes, essays, a collaborative project, and a portfolio. Texts include a field guide and a guide to writing about nature. If you like walking, being outdoors, and writing, this is your course. ENGL 207 meets a requirement for WI, English, and Environmental Science.
