SUMMARY:RSVP for The Sex\, Lies\, and Stereotypes: How Disinformation Undermines Women’s Rights
DESCRIPTION:A meeting is taking place in a Fortune 500 company. Five men and one woman\, all on the same team\, sit at the table. Who is most likely asked to take notes? The woman. \nWith no actual data\, women in the workplace are likely seen as the more organized\, neater\, and quieter employees. The result is that men are 14% more likely to be promoted than women.1 \nThis is nothing new. For centuries\, disinformation about women has been used to stop them from winning elections\, moving ahead in the workplace\, and even voting as citizens. \nWhy is it so easy for so many people to believe disinformation about women that undermines their rights? On Thursday\, August 14\, we’re going to talk to Dr. Bonnie Stabile\, Associate Professor at George Mason University\, where she founded the Gender and Policy Center. Professor Stabile will unpack how these purposeful lies are intentionally used to target women in positions of leadership – and how we can stop them! \nRSVP for The Sex\, Lies\, and Stereotypes: How Disinformation Undermines Women’s Rights on August 14 at 7:30PM ET! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart of the reason women have had to struggle to have a voice in government and the workplace for so long is because extremists have used misinterpretations of the Bible\, junk science\, and politicians to spread the ideas that women were weak-willed\, weak-minded\, and hysterical (a word taken from the Greek for “uterus”). \n  \nThese lies were not only used to keep us out of the voting booth\, but the workplace as well. And we’re still seeing the same themes pop up today\, in sophisticated deep fakes and AI generated memes. \n  \nNext Thursday\, we’ll explore why false narratives about women are so widely believed and how outdated stereotypes and so-called efforts to “protect women” are actually being used to push extremist agendas and roll back rights. And we’ll talk about how to effectively stop this disinformation! \n  \nRSVP for The Sex\, Lies\, and Stereotypes: How Disinformation Undermines Women’s Rights! \n
