Uber Can't Find a Woman to Be CEO, So Has Bravely Narrowed Their Search Down to Three Dudes. Uber, the ride- hailing giant which became mired in internal fighting and leadership intrigue after the resignation of its former CEO Travis Kalanick, appears to have scared off every female candidate willing to entertain the notion of replacing him. In fact, the Washington Post reported Friday, numerous high- profile female executives including Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg, You. Watch Drowning Mona Online Free HD there. Tube’s Susan Wojcicki, General Motors’ Mary Barra, Easy. Jet’s Carolyn Mc. Call and Hewlett Packard’s Meg Whitman have all been approached to lead Uber but have all turned the offer down or are no longer considered likely hires. The three people left on its candidate shortlist are all men, with outbound General Electric chairman Jeffrey R.

Immelt considered the top contender for the job.“We are disappointed, of course,” Joelle Emerson, chief of diversity consultancy Paradigm, told the Post. It could have communicated a commitment on the company’s part to having a more inclusive culture. Though certainly I don’t think hiring a woman would have guaranteed that.” The Post noted the motivations of each woman who turned down the job is unknown. But a recent New York Times piece on the turmoil surrounding Whitman’s decision to walk away from the potential job suggested Kalanick is sabotaging the hiring process as part of a comeback attempt—just weeks after he was pressured into resigning over allegations he saw a widespread culture of workplace sexual harassment. Uber’s challenges are not limited to rampant sexism, but ongoing legal battles with self- driving car company Waymo and angry drivers, upstart competitors like Lyft, annual losses in the billions of dollars ($2.

While there are many reasons Kalanick’s detractors on the Uber board might be desperate for a fresh direction, and especially a new CEO who is not an old white dude, all of these factors could help explain the embarrassingly handled search for a new CEO. Who wants to become the public face of Uber’s failure if the company continues to tank? And who wants to become the female CEO blamed for not cleaning up Kalanick’s mess?[Washington Post].

Sexual Objectification, Part 1: What is it? This is Part 1 of a four- part series on sexual objectification–what it is and how to respond to it. The phrase “sexual objectification” has been around since the 1. What exactly is it, though? If objectification is the process of representing or treating a person like an object, then sexual objectification is the process of representing or treating a person like a sex object, one that serves another’s sexual pleasure. How do we know sexual objectification when we see it? Building on the work of Nussbaum and Langton, I’ve devised the Sex Object Test (SOT) to measure the presence of sexual objectification in images.

In it, I propose that sexual objectification is present if the answer to any of the following seven questions is “yes”: 1) Does the image show only part(s) of a sexualized person’s body? Headless women, for example, make it easy to see them as only a body by erasing the individuality communicated through faces, eyes and eye contact: We achieve the same effect when showing women from behind, which adds another layer of sexual violability. American Apparel seems to be a culprit in this regard: Covering up a woman’s face works well, too: 2) Does the image present a sexualized person as a stand- in for an object? The breasts of the woman in this beer ad, for example, are conflated with the cans: Likewise the woman in this fashion spread in Details, in which a woman becomes a table upon which things are perched. She is reduced to an inanimate object, a useful tool for the assumed heterosexual male viewer: 3) Does the image show sexualized persons as interchangeable? Interchangeability is a common advertising theme that reinforces the idea that women, like objects, are fungible.

And like objects, “more is better,” a market sentiment that erases the worth of individual women. The image below, advertising Mercedes- Benz, presents just part of a woman’s body (breasts) as interchangeable and additive: This image of a set of Victoria’s Secret models, borrowed from a previous Sociological Images post, has a similar effect. Their hair and skin color varies slightly, but they are also presented as all of a kind: 4) Does the image affirm the idea of violating the bodily integrity of a sexualized person who can’t consent? In this “spec” ad for Pepsi (not endorsed by the company), a boy is being given permission by the lifeguard to “save” an unconscious woman: Likewise, this ad shows an incapacitated woman in a sexualized position with a male protagonist holding her on a leash. It glamorizes the possibility that he has attacked and subdued her: 5) Does the image suggest that sexual availability is the defining characteristic of the person? This American Apparel ad, with the copy “now open,” sends the message that this woman is open for sex. She presumably can be had by anyone. Does the image show a sexualized person as a commodity that can be bought and sold?

By definition, objects can be bought and sold, and some images portray women as everyday commodities. Conflating women with food is a common sub- category. This PETA ad, for example, shows Pamela Anderson’s sexualized body divided into pieces of meat: And this album cover shows a woman being salted and eaten, along with a platter of chicken: In the ad below for Red Tape shoes, women are literally for sale and consumption, “served chilled”: 7) Does the image treat a sexualized person’s body as a canvas? In the two images below, women’s bodies are presented as a particular type of object: a canvas that is marked up or drawn upon. The damage caused by widespread female objectification in popular culture is not just theoretical.  We now have more than 1. I’ll describe that research in Part 2 of this series.
