in English The average income of Jewish Israelis (at market exchange rates) is around $40,000; that of Arab Israelis $13,000; that of West Bankers $3,700. To put the figures in historical context, at the end of the Second World War, Jews accounted for about 34% of the population of historic or British Mandate Palestine, Arabs, 66%; the average income of the Jews was about twice that of Arabs. Though today’s population ratio is almost equal, the average income of the Israelis is about 11 times that of the West Bankers. Few places in the world have a long land border with such a large average income disparity on the two sides.

Everyday Sexism Chronicles Those Small, But Meaningful, Acts of Casual Sexism Microaggressions. Those little things that, on their surface, “aren’t such a big deal,” but are actually illustrative of how far we haven’t come as a society. The things that you point at to say “actually, we’re nowhere near equality.” The concept of microaggressions was originally developed in a racial context, to discuss: “the ‘everyday insults, indignities and demeaning messages sent to people of color by well-intentioned white people who are unaware of the hidden messages being sent to them,’ in [Derald Wing] Sue's definition.” The term caught on and started to be used more generally to talk about the small things people say, often without thinking about them, and how they pile up. Microaggressions became a popular site for collating examples, submitted by users with a range of experiences. Each event, observation and experience posted is not necessarily particularly striking in and of themselves. Each carries a sting. Women tell their stories.
Microaggressions : Power, privilege and everyday life. How the web became a sexists' paradise | World news Last week, Kathy Sierra, a well-known software programmer and Java expert, announced that she had cancelled her speaking engagements and was "afraid to leave my yard" after being threatened with suffocation, rape and hanging. The threats didn't come from a stalker or a jilted lover and they weren't responses to a controversial book or speech. Sierra's harassers were largely anonymous, and all the threats had been made online. Sierra had been receiving increasingly abusive comments on her website, Creating Passionate Users, over the previous year, but had not expected them to turn so violent - her attackers not only verbally assaulting her ("fuck off you boring slut . . . While no one could deny that men experience abuse online, the sheer vitriol directed at women has become impossible to ignore. On some online forums anonymity combined with misogyny can make for an almost gang-rape like mentality. Most disturbing is how accepted this is. Is this what people are really like?
Geek Girl Con: Speaking Out on Online Sexism Anita Sarkeesian and Maile Martinez by Jarrah Hodge (trigger warning for misogyny and language) This past weekend I headed down to Seattle for the second annual Geek Girl Con, which I’d been to the year before. Last year I really enjoyed the Con but found there was a bit of a lack of panels taking a really critical look at sexism and misogyny within geek culture. This year was a huge improvement on that front, and since I went to a whole bunch of panels in this general vein, I’m not going to recap every single one. On the issue of the sexism, harassment and misogyny that exists in geek culture, there were no shortage of truly appalling examples presented. Even having followed the blogging and reporting around Anita’s recent experience with violent sexism in the gaming community, it was disturbing to see examples of some of the YouTube comments and tweets she received projected on the big Con screens. “Every day I get rape threats, every day I get death threats,” said Watson.

Seth MacFarlane and the Oscars' Hostile, Ugly, Sexist Night Watching the Oscars last night meant sitting through a series of crudely sexist antics led by a scrubby, self-satisfied Seth MacFarlane. That would be tedious enough. But the evening’s misogyny involved a specific hostility to women in the workplace, which raises broader questions than whether the Academy can possibly get Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host next year. It was unattractive and sour, and started with a number called “We Saw Your Boobs.” “We Saw Your Boobs” was a song-and-dance routine in which MacFarlane and some grinning guys named actresses in the audience and the movies in which their breasts were visible. The song was part of a larger skit whose premise was that William Shatner, as Captain Kirk, sends MacFarlane a message from the future about the dumb things he might do while hosting the Oscars. The Academy is supposedly a trade group, and yet it devoted its opening number to degrading a good part of its membership. How old is that? Photograph by Christopher Polk/Getty.

'Game of Thrones is more brutally realistic than most historical novels' | Television & radio SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses events in Game of Thrones that may spoil the viewing for those catching up on box sets. Although Hilary Mantel is apparently yet to begin the third volume of her trilogy of novels about Thomas Cromwell, we can be confident of several plot twists that it will not feature. Cromwell will not precipitate a civil war. He will not betray the husband of his foster-sister, with whom he is in love. In the hands of a great writer, of course, the fact that we already know a character's fate can serve to heighten rather than diminish tension. Gillen's character, Petyr Baelish, certainly knows whereof he speaks. If Baelish sounds more than a little like Thomas Cromwell, then perhaps that is not entirely a coincidence. Gillen's look in the TV series, complete with black doublet and pointed beard, serves the viewer as convenient shorthand for the role he is playing in the drama: that of a Tudor Machiavel.
