Coming across old digital records and documents, I have decided to reproduce many of them in my blog. This one is a paper I wrote as an undergraduate student at Grinnell College from 1990 to 1994. It's about how SAT is biased against women.
When form and protocol generally take precedent over and is valued more than substance, a society struggles to make social, economic, and political progress. One such form and protocol is showing respect for and/or deferring to old men. In this blog post I demonstrate how two old men use the guise of lack respect for old men as a pretext for silencing young adult women of similar academic and professional stature as them for no other reason than the fact that they are female.
