There are a number of links I wanted to share in connection with the material we have been discussing these past two weeks. Because I keep running out of time to explain them fully, I'll just list them below with the briefest description.
"Crunching the Numbers on Sexist Microaggressions" - the post about the Petrie Multiplier, which purportedly shows that any heavily representationally skewed group will seem hostile to the minority group assuming there is any propensity to commit microaggressions, even if it is equally distributed among the majority and minority.
Project Implicit - The Harvard implicit association test that you can take online to determine whether you have subconscious biases concerning race, gender, sexuality, and a number of other characteristics. I took the one concerning negative associations toward blacks. Yes, I have it. See what you think.
The Red Ground scene from the Color of Fear. If you want a concrete example of what Jaggar calls "outlaw emotions," this will give you one. You may find it difficult viewing.
Thoughts?
