This study suggests that power is the critical aspect of politics, and to understand women's political exclusion we must examine gender based differences in power orientations. Forty-four respondents volunteered to undergo a battery of scales measuring their power orientations and political behavior. Although aggregate power differences were not uncovered, power orientations and gender produced interactive effects on political behavior. High power men and high power women behave different politically. Power orientations are therefore suggested as an iportant aspect of gender based participatory differences.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V05N04_06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66674259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The \"new feminist\" movement in Yugoslavia was born in 1975 from a working group formed at an official conference. The movement emerged at a time when the country was undergoing a serious economic and social crisis. Its growth reflects the permanency of that crisis, with the successor 1980s generation of young feminists more militant than the movement's founders. The new feminists challenge the dogma that \"the woman question\" has been solved in socialist Yugoslavia, arguing that in fact the new industrial patriarchy is more pervasive and domineeringt than the old, traditional form.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V08N01_01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66675274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article attempts to evaluate the \"scientific evidence\" upon which fetal protection policies were based. After defining the relevant scientific terms, this article explores the existing federal regulations that aim at limiting both maternal and paternal exposures to reproductive hazards.

Because implementation of rape reform statutes can affect the success of these efforts, and because prosecutors play a decisive role in the process, this study assesses one aspect of the effectiveness of reform rape legislation by measuring attrition and conviction rates in the prosecution of sexual assault. Attrition rate in one Michigan jurisdiction operating under the model Criminal Sexual Conduct Code are discussed and then compared to other research data. This comparative examination indicates that the law can be productively employed to combat problems, such as high attrition and low conviction rates, historically associated with prosecution of sexual assault offenses.
