FemiSex has bemoaned the sexist bias of Broadway plays in the past. For example we wrote about the cultural assult against women that is, "August, Osage County." With almost all produced plays coming from men's ballpoint bics, surprise, surprise, right. Well...
Now check this: A new study finds that a script written by a woman is assessed by literary managers as sub par to a script written by a man when…lo and behold the scripts are identical. Ouch!...and worse....this only happens when the script reader is female.

Yowsa!
Excerpts from the NYTimes story :

women who are authors have a tougher time getting their work staged than men

women who are artistic directors and literary managers are the ones to blame {for this.}
more:
{the study author} Ms. Sands sent identical scripts to artistic directors and literary managers around the country. The only difference was that half named a man as the writer (for example, Michael Walker), while half named a woman (i.e., Mary Walker). It turned out that Mary’s scripts received significantly worse ratings in terms of quality, economic prospects and audience response than Michael’s. The biggest surprise? “These results are driven exclusively by the responses of female artistic directors and literary managers,” Ms. Sands said.

Yikes. Now think politics rather than theater…

let’s think of women we know who have publically exhibited male over female bias in exactly this fashion: That is…. If Hillary said it, suck that; if Obama said it, give that guy a gold star and a pat on his shiny boy head!

Feministing crew and Feministe: Jessica Valenti, Courtney Martin Jill something or other, who likes the word assholes too much for anyone’s comfort.
Slate: Dahlia Lithwick and Emily Yoffee, and pretty much the whole of XX Factor (anti-feminist writers).
Broadsheet writers: all of them—on staff that is.
NYTimes: Missy Dowd, Jodi Kantor, Alessandra Stanley and too many others to mention.
Freelance: Michelle Goldberg
Consevatives, WSJ, TNR: Peggy Noonan and Kathleen Parker
Conservative when it suited, Liberal when it suits: Arianna Huffington

Please feel FREE to take it from here and add to this list as you see fit. And then remember this: when you read a darn thing any of these women write about a woman who is not handpicked by Obama, be WARE! Sexist woman at Hand!

I have picked some of the worst examples of media femmes sexist work. These women have been selected for voice for precisely the reasons found in this study: they are like fish who swim by instinct to the male voice.

These women DENY their male bias, but their level of defense, when accused of male bias, rockets to the moon when presented with the facts of their bias. Thus, it is not rocket science to figure out that these gals have some understanding of their sexist bigotry, but it is too painful to admit. Guess we need an AA type of declaration: I am a female sexist and I need help!

Now before we get too high and mighty we must all understand that we are all raised in a patriarchal culture; we are ALL subject to bias against women.
Each and every one of us must do the painful work of extracting the seeds of this bias from our very souls. It is always that other guy who is the racist, sexist bigot, not us. But…just as some are more racist than others, some are more sexist than others. The worst: Those who profess to be feminists yet they work against female progress for women above the poverty line.
The women, I’ve singled out are up against that hardest- to-rid-oneself-of bias—the bias of alpha females having power over them. These women gladly, even gleefully, welcome alpha men into power, but choke on the alpha woman.

Why do I single out these women? Because they have the highest duty to address the bias in themselves. Why? Because they are getting paid to promote this anti-female bias, either directly (hired and supported by male dominated media) or promoted by others in media who welcome women who work against women gaining real power. Caitlin Flanangan was hand-picked out of a breadbasket to write against female alpha power because she spat at working women at a dinner party given by Atlantic Monthly top doggy.

Now is the Time for All Good Women to come to the AID of their SEX! Yes we MUST, end female sexism. It is the only way out of the abyss.
