Dean of Harvard Business School Apologizes To Women | Davos Attendees 16% Women Is No Problem Says Klaus Schwab

Women make up a record 41% of this year’s MBA class.

Nohria’s comments come after an in-depth front-page article in The New York Times that described the school’s two-year experiment in dealing proactively with gender inequality. The story fueled dialogue and debate around gender inequality in male-dominated business schools. At Harvard, a third of the female junior faculty left from 2006 to 2007.

Abigail Disney Defends Meryl Streep’s Calling Walt Disney A ‘Gender Bigot

Bravo Meryl Streep, a quintessential Smart Sensuality woman. Of course, a furor from opposing sides ensued after Streep called Walt Disney an anti-Semitic gender bigot. The great-niece of Walt Disney supported the actress. Abigail Disney, 54, an activist and filmmaker wrote that although she has “mixed feelings” about Walt Disney, she “loved” Streep’s comments about her famous relative.

Anti-Semite? Check. Misogynist? OF COURSE!!Racist? C’mon he made a film (‘Jungle Book’) about how you should stay “with your own kind” at the height of the fight over segregation.’King of the Jungle’ number wasn’t proof enough!! How much more information do you need?”

To Be Better Understood, Anne Learned To Do Serious Uptalk

Anne chucked when she read the senator’s answer, recalling that she learned to do uptalk as an executive at Victoria’s Secret. Lean In and learn about her experiences in remodulating her own voice.

Thayaht’s TuTa Or Jumpsuit Reflects Italian Futurism’s Scorn For Women

W Magazine’s new editorial ‘Singular Sensation’ pays tribute to the Florentine designer Thayaht, who conceived the unisex jumpsuit as “the most innovative, futuristic garment in the history of Italian fashion”. The all-in-one TuTa, as Thayaht called it, reflected core beliefs of the Italian Futurist movement, led by Filippo T. Marinetti and his 2009 ‘Futurist Manifesto’.

Jumpsuits are a key component of today’s androgynous fashion looks, but their foundation stems from a set of values I personally find misogynistic, and ones that reflect my own ambivalence about fashion’s relationship with femaleness in general.

After all, ‘Scorn for Women’ was one of 10 key planks in the Futurist Manifesto and a core concept in fascists movements, ones that invariably seek to desensualize women’s bodies while controlling our reproductive functions.

Paul de Luna's 'Samsara' & The Sacred Feminine

Paul de Luna’s ‘Samsara’ & The Sacred Feminine

In their book ‘Myths of the Female Divine’, authors David Leeming & Jake Page describe researchers earliest understanding of the Goddess:

Like the human fetus in its early form, Goddess was thoroughly female; she preceded any differentiation into God and Goddess. She seems to have been absolute and parthenogenetic — born of herself — the foundation of all being. She was the All-Giving and the All-Taking, the source of life and death and regeneration. More than a mother goddess or fertility goddess, she appears to have been earth and nature herself, an immense organic, ecological, and conscious whole — one with which we humans would eventually lose touch.

Evidence of Goddess mythology is pervasive around the globe. Scholars studying the ‘sacred feminine’ believe that by the time the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt flourished, the Goddess had dominated human consciousness for 25,000 years.
