Whose Surname Should a Child Have? A New York Court's Ruling Reinforces Sexist Traditions.
Tuesday, August 05, 2003
Given the shift of this blog from a more law-intense blog to a sporadic bookmark blog, I'm taking off a lot of the legal links to the side. If your link is dropped, sorry. I just want a tighter list for now.

Hire that Name. Two Chicago women respond by letter to the same newspaper ad for a job as a sales clerk. They have exactly the same qualifications and write similar letters. One is named Emily. The other is named Lakisa.
Two Boston men see an ad in the local paper for a sales manager's job. They have identical qualifications and send similar application letters. One is named Brad. The other is named Leroy.
Guess who was more likely to get a favorable reply from a potential employer? Sadly, you probably guessed it: Emily and Brad were 50 percent more likely to get a callback than Lakisa and Leroy -- a huge disparity that surprised even the two economists who conducted this test of labor market discrimination.
