Interesting article and something many women have experienced in school and on the job.
SCOTUS changed oral arguments in part because female justices were interrupted, Sotomayor says

(34,438 posts)IMHO, of all of the presidents over the last 50+ years, only Clinton and W could be considered moderately attractive. While the others weren't hideous, most were about average, or less, in physical attractiveness.
I'm NOT referring to character, personality, etc.

(1,236 posts)set the rules and impose penalties on those not complying. You slap these assholes down enough times and maybe they will start to get the message. This is nothing more than a show of disrespect to women on the court, just like it is everywhere else. Maybe it will take a female court majority to enact some of this stuff.
I hate seeing jerks (like Roberts) letting this stuff go on just so they can ride in at the last minute playing the hero. It is just as misogynistic as those exhibiting the bad behavior.
