Preserving The Seeds Of Gender Fluidity: Tribal Courts And The Berdache Tradition, Andrew Gilden
Preserving The Seeds Of Gender Fluidity: Tribal Courts And The Berdache Tradition, Andrew Gilden
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article outlines the particular cultural characteristics giving rise to traditional berdachism, the means by which American policies fostered their decline, and the Navajo tribal courts' re-infusion of these characteristics into contemporary jurisprudence. By tracking the interplay between the traditional values of child autonomy, gender equality, and tribal collectivism, the rise, fall and potential reemergence of the berdache tradition can be analyzed as resulting from shifts in its determinative cultural elements.
Refusal To Dispense Emergency Contraception In Washington State: An Act Of Conscience Or Unlawful Sex Discrimination?, Dana E. Blackman
Refusal To Dispense Emergency Contraception In Washington State: An Act Of Conscience Or Unlawful Sex Discrimination?, Dana E. Blackman
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article will demonstrate that a pharmacist's refusal to fill a valid prescription for emergency contraception constitutes sex discrimination and violates the WLAD. Part I explains the nature and function of emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) as well as their role in basic health care for women and the importance of their accessibility. Part II addresses federal civil rights protections and the failure of these protections to provide relief for women facing refusals. Focusing on the WLAD, Part II also explains how state public accommodation statutes protect women from discrimination in places of public accommodation. It further sets forth the prima …
Toward A Third-Wave Feminist Legal Theory: Young Women, Pornography And The Praxis Of Pleasure, Bridget J. Crawford
Toward A Third-Wave Feminist Legal Theory: Young Women, Pornography And The Praxis Of Pleasure, Bridget J. Crawford
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Part I of this Article explores the general themes of third-wave feminist writings. The Article begins with an overview of third-wave feminist literature and its predominant concerns. These concerns are (1) dissatisfaction with earlier feminists; (2) the multiple nature of personal identity; (3) the joy of embracing traditional feminine appearance and attributes; (4) the centrality of sexual pleasure and sexual self-awareness; (5) the obstacles to economic empowerment; and (6) the social and cultural impact of media and technology. Textual analysis reveals third-wave feminists' reliance on non-legal tools for remedying gender inequality. Although third-wave feminists acknowledge the law's role in women's …

Title Ix - Two For One: A Starter Kit Of The Law And A Snapshot Of Title Ix's Impact, Linda Jean Carpenter, R. Vivian Acosta
Cleveland State Law Review
This article first examines the creation of Title IX legislation. Then the article argues that " Title IX has had a massive impact on America's sport programs. But the debate continues, and perhaps will always continue, as long as there is inadequate funding to make the achievement of equity easy; as long as powerful members of one sex view exclusive access to sport as their chromosomal birth right; as long as administrators favor one sport over providing the benefits of athletics participation to a broader proportion of the student body; as long as the cake is not cut evenly."

Toward A Third-Wave Feminist Legal Theory: Young Women, Pornography And The Praxis Of Pleasure, Bridget J. Crawford
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article critically examines a growing body of non-legal writing by women who have proclaimed a third-wave of feminism and suggests the ways that legal theory might be enriched by this work. Scholars typically label the nineteenth-century woman suffrage movement as the first wave of feminism, and view the legal and social activism of the 1970s as the second wave of feminism. The third wave of feminism, with its intellectual origins in the response to the Clarence Thomas Senate confirmation hearings, is a reaction to the popular stereotype that feminists are humorless man-haters. Third-wave feminists proclaim their difference from second-wave …
The Use Of Drug Testing To Police Sex And Gender In The Olympic Games, Haley K. Olsen-Acre
The Use Of Drug Testing To Police Sex And Gender In The Olympic Games, Haley K. Olsen-Acre
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Part I of this Article discusses the history and development of sex testing and drug testing and argues that the two are both historically and ideologically linked. Part II examines the current Code in detail and argues that the Code's focus on hormone-based controls acts to police sex and gender in Olympic athletes, thereby extending historical sex testing practices to a new era. This Article ultimately concludes that without recognizing and addressing the need for further research into the role of "sex" hormones in the body and the interplay of social context and biological circumstances, the IOC cannot maintain an …

The Trial Of Susan B. Anthony For Illegal Voting, Douglas O. Linder
The Trial Of Susan B. Anthony For Illegal Voting, Douglas O. Linder
Faculty Works
More than any other woman of her generation, Susan B. Anthony saw that all of the legal disabilities faced by American women owed their existence to the simple fact that women lacked the vote. When Anthony, at age 32, attended her first woman's rights convention in Syracuse in 1852, she declared that the right which woman needed above every other, the one indeed which would secure to her all the others, was the right of suffrage. Anthony spent the next fifty-plus years of her life fighting for the right to vote. She would work tirelessly: giving speeches, petitioning Congress and …

Trans-Phobia And The Relational Production Of Gender, Elaine Craig
Trans-Phobia And The Relational Production Of Gender, Elaine Craig
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
This Article posits that gender identity is in large measure produced relationally and that due to the interpretive, relational nature of gender production many experience gender transgression in others as disruptive to their own sense of identity. It suggests that this results in much of the legal discrimination and oppression faced by individuals whose gender presentation does not conform with dominant gender norms. It further suggests that the disruption in the face of gender transgression is produced by the binary model itself and proposes legal strategies that will assist in a non-binary re-conceptualization of gender.
Sex, Trust, And Corporate Boards, Joan Macleod Heminway
Sex, Trust, And Corporate Boards, Joan Macleod Heminway
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
This Article collects and interprets social science research on sex and trust to shed new light on the emerging case for gender diversity on corporate boards. Specifically, the Article describes social science research findings indicating (1) that men and women trust and are trustworthy on different bases; and (2) that there is a bias against women in chief executive officer (and potentially other corporate leadership) positions. Based on this research, the nature of corporate management and control, and current legal scholarship on corporate governance, the Article asserts that gender diversity on corporate boards may be desirable but difficult to attain. …
Ten Years Of Resistance To Coercive Population Control: Section 601 Of The Iirira Of 1996 To Section 101 Of The Real Id Act Of 2005, Jamie Jordan
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
As a result of China's enactment of the one-child policy in the 1970s, the United States was confronted with a new type of asylum applicant: Chinese citizens who were seeking asylum based on a coercive population control scheme. This Note reviews the United States' attempts to cope with this influx of Chinese asylum applicants. The first section describes the one-child policy and the coercive methods with which it was implemented. Section two outlines how the United States has attempted to offer some protection under its asylum laws to those who have fled China to avoid the one-child policy . Finally, …

Improperly Performed Abortion As Fetal Homicide: An Uneasy Coexistence Becomes More Difficult, Laura E. Back
Improperly Performed Abortion As Fetal Homicide: An Uneasy Coexistence Becomes More Difficult, Laura E. Back
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
Is the difference between abortion and fetal homicide the pregnant woman's choice-or the provider's medical license? Reports of a recent Texas case suggest that ever-proliferating fetal homicide laws may be applied to charge non-medical abortion providers with murder. Although the state has legitimate interests in protecting women's health through prohibition of dangerous non-medical abortions, it defies justice to enforce such prohibitions by charging violators with murder of the aborted fetus. This Note explores how constitutional limitations on permissible state interests in regulating abortion provide a basis for Eighth Amendment proportionality and due process challenges to this misuse of fetal homicide …
Big Love: Is Feminist Polygamy An Oxymoron Or A True Possibility, Michele Alexandre
Big Love: Is Feminist Polygamy An Oxymoron Or A True Possibility, Michele Alexandre
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
For the past few decades, Islamic reformists have attempted to reverse patriarchal set-ups in Islamic practices. In light of these efforts, the time is ripe to consider what role women's agency will play in the implementation of such reforms. The way we account for agency in advocating for women's rights is an issue with which feminist legal scholars struggle. It has been explored particularly when analyzing women's rights in the area of pornography and prostitution. As the reform movements in Islamic law become concrete, similar explorations will have to take place. Agencydriven explorations in the area of Islamic law will …

Guatemala's Femicides And The Ongoing Struggle For Women's Human Rights: Update To Cgrs's 2005 Report Getting Away With Murder, Katharine Ruhl
Guatemala's Femicides And The Ongoing Struggle For Women's Human Rights: Update To Cgrs's 2005 Report Getting Away With Murder, Katharine Ruhl
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
This Article is an update to the report entitled Getting Away With Murder: Guatemala's Failure to Protect Women and Rodi Alvarado's Quest for Safety, published by the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) in November 2005, and by the Hastings Women's Law Journal in its Summer 2006 issue. That report explored the root causes of why Guatemalan women are forced to seek asylum in order to escape violence in their home country, and offered recommendations to the Guatemalan government. In this Article, the author argues that the Guatemalan government has made only limited progress in addressing the problem of …
Eviction, Discrimination, And Domestic Violence: Unfair Housing Practices Against Domestic Violence Survivors, Kristen M. Ross
Eviction, Discrimination, And Domestic Violence: Unfair Housing Practices Against Domestic Violence Survivors, Kristen M. Ross
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
Domestic violence survivors are victimized a second time when they are refused available housing or evicted from their homes because of the domestic violence committed against them. Although allowing a domestic violence survivor to remain on the property may, in certain rare incidents, pose a threat to other tenants, evicting the survivor is an extreme measure, and is unjust. This Note discusses the potential liabilities that may arise against landlords who rent to domestic violence survivors and show why such liabilities do not warrant discrimination. This Note further examines the inadequacy of state and federal laws in protecting domestic violence …
