Islam and Gender: An Exploration of Hadith on the Equality of Men and Women

This study aims to explore and analyze the concept of gender equality in hadith, with the goal of providing a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of how hadith regulates the relationship between men and women in various life contexts, whether in family, social, or professional domains. This study employs a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. The primary data sources are collections of hadith relevant to the topic of gender equality, gathered from various trusted hadith compilations. The analytical techniques used include interpretation of hadith texts, comparison with related Quranic verses, and review of classical and contemporary scholars' views on this issue. The results of the study indicate that hadith generally supports the principle of gender equality in many aspects, although there are some hadiths that require historical and sociocultural context to be comprehensively understood. These hadiths, if interpreted correctly and contextually, show that Islam provides equal rights and responsibilities between men and women and encourages respect and gender justice. However, the interpretation and implementation of gender equality in Muslim societies are often influenced by local cultural and traditional factors, which sometimes deviate from the true essence of Islamic teachings. This study highlights the importance of a critical and contextual approach in understanding hadith texts to support efforts in achieving gender equality that is just and in accordance with Islamic values.

CITRA MASKULINITAS NEGATIF DALAM NOVEL DI TANAH LADA KARYA ZIGGY ZEZSYAZEOVIENNAZABRIZKIE

Marie de Gournay et son interprétation d’imago Dei – à la recherche du nouveau sens de la notion biblique

In The Equality of Men and Women, Marie de Gournay opens up new perspectives, while also elaborating on biblical and theological interpretations. It is interesting to study her commentary on the biblical passage on the creation of man and woman as well as her scriptural analyzes. How do they fit into the tradition of theological controversy? Are her explanations based on other texts that were the benchmark for women’s champions and detractors? Are Gournay’s interpretations within the framework of the deconstruction of traditional formulas or, to the contrary, a new explanation based on female religious sensibility?

Socioeconomic Inequalities in the Prevalence of Diabetes in Argentina: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study in Urban Women and Men.

This study measured the socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of diabetes between 2005 and 2018 in an urban Argentinian population. Data were obtained from the repeated cross-sectional surveys “National Survey of Risk Factors” (ENFR is its acronym in Spanish). From 2005 to 2018, four rounds of ENFR were administered to men and women over 18 years of age. Concentration curves (CC) and the Erreygers concentration index (ECI) were used to describe the socioeconomic inequalities in diabetes’ prevalence. A decomposition analysis was performed to determine the contribution of each variable to inequality in diabetes’ prevalence. Data from 41,219 (2005), 34,583 (2009), 32,232 (2013), and 29,094 (2018) individuals were analyzed. Women reported a greater prevalence of diabetes compared with men for all the years included. According to the CC and ECI, we found no evidence of inequality in men throughout all study years. For women, throughout all years, the CCs were above the line of equity, and the ECIs during all the years were negative and different from zero (p < 0.01). For women, we found no evidence of a reduction in inequalities between 2005 and 2018 (p = 0.475). The socioeconomic inequality for women was largely driven by public insurance, primary and secondary education, and employment. Diabetes’ prevalence was not associated with socioeconomic status in men, while the prevalence of diabetes in women was more concentrated among poorer women. During the 13 years, there was no evidence of a reduction of inequality in women, noting that interventions must prioritize and should focus on the main contribution of inequalities, such as education and employment.

How much screaming is an orgasm: the problem with coding female climax

ABSTRACT Building on the feminist ‘sex wars’ debate, content studies of pornography interpret orgasms in pornography to argue for sexual objectification, sexual agency, and unequal power distribution among men and women in porn. While male orgasms are easily coded, female orgasms pose a particularly tricky obstacle due to their ‘invisibility’. I investigated peer-reviewed studies of the content of pornography published in the last 20 years to explore the different coding practices of female orgasms. I assessed the different approaches to measurement, authenticity, and theoretical assumptions connected to the number of orgasms. The analysis shows that methodologies are not always transparent and that researchers do not acknowledge the possible effects of methodologies on their results. This is especially alarming when taking into consideration that most of the studies argue with orgasms for inequality of men and women in pornography. Based on the analysis I offer a ‘best practice’ approach to coding orgasms.

Gender and corporate management in the current socio-economic situation

Subject. We examine gender effects in terms of corporate performance. The article focuses on the impact of gender on managerial decisions a person makes, activities and position at the microlevel. Objectives. We evaluate how gender factor influences management processes. The article also discusses distinctions of male and female management in the Russian economy. Methods. The study involves methods of analysis, comparison, questionnaire survey, analytical methods. We analyzed what qualities influence the corporate governance in the case of male or female genders. Results. The article traces the dependence of the manager’s gender and managerial decisions. We demonstrate how the effectiveness of corporate management depends on personal qualities of the staff, including gender-related factors. Having analyzed the management in the context of different genders, with a special focus put on female management, we pinpointed the need to raise the gender-related agenda for managers so as to create a more productive and favorable atmosphere and improve the overall performance. The article displays the socio-economic inequality of men and women in Russia. Conclusions and Relevance. In Russia, gender factors obviously influence the style and methods of management. People demonstrate a different gender identity no matter what gender they pertain to. It is reasonable to conduct the gender analysis of corporate staff, refine the male-female ratio in the entity, thus eliminating the gender inequality and overcoming the gender-related bias. More women should be hired for managerial positions to ensure more successful and socio-oriented operations of entities.

Equality of Men and Women in Succession: An Assessment of Islamic Rules

Generally it goes that a Muslim man receives greater portion than that of a woman of the same grade and degree under classical or modern Hanafi Muslim rules of succession; e.g., where a son and a daughter survive the propositus the son receives two-thirds and the daughter one-third. So it is generally claimed that a Muslim man inherits greater share than that of a woman. But such allegation may not be the fact always. An assessment of the arrangements of succession in Hanafi School shows, in this regard, that under the School a woman receives larger amount than a man. Both primary and secondary sources are used in the study. The primary source includes the Quran or Hadith, and secondary source different books, journals, etc. Only Hanafi Islamic school rules of succession are addressed, rules of no other schools like Shafii, Hanbali, Maliki, etc. are included. Practically, the study shows that Muslim women inherit more than Muslim men. Socially, the study removes the notion of the thinking that Muslim men receive more than Muslim women in inheritance. The study is an original piece of work.&#x0D;

ПРОБЛЕМЫ АРАБСКИХ ЖЕНЩИН НА ПРИМЕРЕ РОМАНА РАДЖА АЛСАНИ «ДЕВУШКИ ЭР-РИЯДА»

The article analyses the feminist novel by the modern Saudi authoress Rajaa Alsanea “Girls of Riyadh” revealing the problem of gender relations in the Middle East. The novel, severely criticized by the Saudi conservatives and highly appreciated by progressive public opinion, is analysed at the genre, thematic and problematic levels. It is shown that the authoress criticizes the Muslims’ sluggishness, raises some topical problems (inequality of men and women in Saudi Arabia, women’s unfreedom when choosing career, husband, clothes) and logically concludes that the patriarchal Saudi society should change.

Wage Inequality During the Long-Term Stagnation in Japan: Changes Within and Between Establishments

Wage inequality between individuals has changed little in Japan in recent times unlike in other developed countries. We examine changes in wage inequality within and between establishments during the prolonged stagnation period in Japan. Using a micro-level worker–establishment dataset from 1991 to 2012, we find changes in inequality during the 1990s. First, an increase in the variance in the establishment fixed effects expanded men’s between-establishment inequality. Meanwhile, a reduction of returns to tenure decreased men’s within-establishment inequality and thus suppressed rising individual wage inequality. Second, we find a different trend in women’s wage inequality. Between-establishment inequality was larger than that of men in the early 1990s. However, since the structure of wage inequality in men changed significantly, the composition of inequality between men and women has become similar in recent years. Finally, the assortativeness between workers and establishment rose for both sexes.

Changes in Wage Trends and Earnings Differences in Kerala

In this article, the weekly earnings gap between men and women in Kerala is examined by a number of inequality indices such as the percentile ratio and the Gini coefficient. The entropy measures of inequality are used to decompose wage inequality into within-group and between-group inequalities. The earnings inequality between men and women has been increasing, even though their wage grows faster than men’s wage. The indices of inequality suggest the growing wage disparity in the regular and casual labour market. The result reveals that the levels of education and earnings are positively correlated, but women with the same level of education earn much less than men in regular salaried work. The rising wage inequality of men and women during 2004–2009 were associated with the growth rate of wages in the same period. That is, the wage rates of both regular and casual workers have increased more than four per cent during the period that experienced the highest inequality.

The main causes of death contributing to absolute and relative socio-economic inequality in Italy.

Monitoring socio-economic inequality has become a priority for many governments, especially after the socio-economic changes that followed the 2008 financial crisis. This study aimed at detecting the causes of death with the largest socio-economic inequality in relative and absolute terms in Italy. This is a historical cohort study. We used two regression-based measures of socio-economic inequality, the relative index of inequality (RII) and the slope index of inequality (SII), to rank the causes of death with the highest relative and absolute socio-economic inequality. We obtained these measures on a large census-based cohort study with more than 35 million individuals and 452,273 deaths registered in the period 2012-2014. The causes with the highest relative socio-economic inequality were the following: laryngeal cancer (RII: 6.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.8-7.78), AIDS/HIV (RII: 4.8, 95% CI: 3.1-7.4), chronic liver disease (RII: 4.8, 95% CI: 3.2-7.3), and chronic lower respiratory diseases (RII: 4.8, 95% CI: 3.5-6.5) in men, and diabetes (RII: 6.2, 95% CI: 4.8-7.9), AIDS/HIV (RII: 4.5, 95% CI: 2.7-7.7), genitourinary system (RII: 3.8, 95% CI: 2.6-5.4) and chronic liver diseases (RII: 3.6, 95% CI: 2.9-4.5) in women. In absolute terms, lung cancer and ischemic heart diseases contributed more to the overall socio-economic inequality in men, whereas diabetes and ischemic heart diseases accounted for most of the socio-economic inequality in women. Our findings call for effective policies to reduce the disparities in mortality from ischemic heart diseases, lung cancer, and diabetes taking into account the sex-specific pattern of inequality.

Income-related inequalities in diseases and health conditions over the business cycle

How business cycles affect income-related distribution of diseases and health disorders is largely unknown. We examine how the prevalence of thirty diseases and health conditions is distributed across the income spectrum using survey data collected in Iceland in 2007, 2009 and 2012. Thus, we are able to take advantage of the unusually sharp changes in economic conditions in Iceland during the Great Recession initiated in 2008 and the partial recovery that had already taken place by 2012 to analyze how income-related health inequality changed across time periods that can be described as a boom, crisis and recovery. The concentration curve and the concentration index are calculated for each disease, both overall and by gender. In all cases, we find a considerable income-related health inequality favoring higher income individuals, with a slight increase over the study period. Between 2007 and 2009, our results indicate increased inequality for women but decreased inequality for men. Between 2009 and 2012 on the contrary, men’s inequality increases but women’s decreases. The overarching result is thus that the economic hardship of the crisis temporarily increased female income-related health inequality, but decreased that of men.

Doświadczenie ojcostwa a znaturalizowany porządek płciowy w Eliasowskiej perspektywie

This article focuses on the relations between men and women in the area of family life, and in particular the situation of fathers and their approach to biological differences between the genders. Using the theoretical perspective developed by Norbert Elias, the author shows how the organization of social life, which she considers to be based on the inequality of men and women, is legitimized by emphasis in the process of naturalizing gender differences. On the basis of qualitative research, methods of defining fatherhood in reference to that difference are depicted, as are the strategies which individuals adopt to deal with it, and the problems that are connected with this in contemporary Polish society.

Gender Tendency of Russian Political Activity from the Perspective of Jurisprudence

The article Russian women is considered as a subjects of constitutional and administrative law and studies different characteristics of their political activity: Conservation of patriarchal tendency as precondition of actual inequality of men and women in the political sphere; formal indices of women's political activity in the Soviet times, their quantitative and qualitative reduction during perestroika and in contemporary times; disregard of different recommendations given by international organizations on the issue of gender parity and overcoming evident gender gap in politics and power-holding structures; retardation of legislative decisions on gender quotas and contradiction between the real practice and the principle of gender equality stated in the legislation on political parties. The article examines the contradictory phenomenon of civic engagement of Russian men and women: The average quantity of women in the Public Chambers of the Russian Federation reaches the level of one-third; the quantity of men in the grass-roots opposition movement prevails; women vote generally for the governing party showing conservatism rather than a thoroughly taken decision. The article claims that unsteady gender situation in the given sphere is the result of a certain impact of the following factors: Marginal condition of gendered discourse, the authority's interest in conservation of the traditional gender roles, the same influence of the major religious denominations on public opinion and indirectly on policy decisions.

Gendered Recruitment without Trying: How Local Party Recruiters Affect Women's Representation

Do strong and active political parties enhance women's representation, or do they contribute to the ongoing inequality in men's and women's candidacy rates? Studies have examined this question by looking at a variety of measures of party strength, focusing particularly on the role parties play in candidate emergence. For qualified individuals in the pool of potential candidates, being encouraged to run for office by a political actor is the most important step in considering a candidacy (Lawless and Fox 2005). Such encouragement is especially important in increasing the typically lower political ambition among women in the candidate pool (Fox and Lawless 2010). Yet the limited research examining the effects of party recruitment on men's and women's candidacies finds negative (Niven 1998; 2006) or no (Sanbonmatsu 2006) effects of recruitment on women's representation. Some studies even find evidence that parties more often run female than male candidates as “sacrificial lambs” in unwinnable races (Carroll 1994; Stambough and O'Regan 2007).

Netzwerken als Strategie zur beruflichen Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern

Networking is a crucial factor for success at work. As men and women have unequal access to professional networks and handle network contacts differently, the use of networks leads to inequality in men’s and women’s success at work. In this study we use qualitative interviews to understand where these differences come from and why those differences are still observable although many professional networks are nowadays open to women and many women networks have been founded during the last two decades. We can show a slow change in the women’s perception of networks and how they handle distinct kinds of contacts (strong and weak ties). Further, we analyze this phenomenon from a neo-institutional perspective to understand why it takes so long to establish networking as a tool of women for success at work and why new women networks are not as effective as traditional networks. Concluding, we use this neo-institutional perspective to make suggestions of how to overcome the current situation, ease networking for women and make networking for women more successful.

"For the Equality of Men – For the Equality of Nations": Anson Burlingame and China's First Embassy to the United States, 1868

AbstractAnson Burlingame (1820-1870), often neglected or misunderstood today, was an ardently antislavery congressman from Boston whom Abraham Lincoln appointed minister to China in 1861. Burlingame developed a Cooperative Policy that advocated peaceful means while upholding China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese government subsequently appointed him China's first envoy to the Western powers. The first stop of the so-called Burlingame Mission was America, from March to September 1868. is article focuses on three topics: (1) How the mission's reception reflected the partisan struggle over Reconstruction and the push for racial equality. Republicans, the party of Reconstruction, proved sympathetic to the mission and to China, while the opposition Democrats were hostile. (2) How Burlingame presented Americans with a strongly favorable image of China to emphasize treating it with full respect and as a normal nation. (3) The Burlingame Treaty, the first equal treaty between China and a Western power after the Opium War, which sought to place China on a full and equal status in international affairs and to place Chinese in America on an equal footing with immigrants from other nations. Burlingame's friend, Mark Twain, wrote supportive articles.
