Counseling Women by Lisa Stanowski Forte https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz CNS 527 en-us 2018-10-27 15:32:57 UTC 2018-11-01 14:29:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/File.png Personal 2jinxed https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/297658901 I chose this topic in light of today's "me too" movement and my own personal journey into adulthood, motherhood, and beyond. I come from a place of "You can never have to many resources," therefore, I decided to use Padlet to pass along the information I collected for this project.]]> 2018-10-27 15:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/297658901 Historical Context 2jinxed https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/297659699 Here's a shocker for ya:
"Women in the United State do not have a status that is comparable to that of men" (Orozco, Lee, Blando, & Shooshani, 2014, p. 67).  

Despite the strides that have be made toward equality, women still have not acquired equal status to men .. Why? 

Consider the following:
Imagine if you were asked to rank the following by order of "power" in society.
  1. Caucasian men
  2. Caucasian women
  3. Minority men
  4. Minority women
I would imagine that many of us would leave the ranking in the presented order and that is still where we are in 2018.   This begs to question again... Why?
Is it due to biological differences, personal differences, or simply because leveling the playing field would cause men to have to share power.  I wonder??  I don't have the answer, but aren't we all "created equal"?

  • Equal Pay Act of 1963
  • Women's Educational Equity act of 1974
  • Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act (1975)
  • Comprehensive Education Training Act (late 1970s)
  • Fair Pay Act of 2009
    • (Orozco, Lee, Blando, & Shooshani, 2014)

    Does anyone else find it sad that we have to pass an "Act" so women can receive equal pay!?
    And yet, we still have not reached equal pay. 

    Consider the following:
    The wage gap has decreased less then 0.5% per year since the Equal Pay Act.  Therefore, "at this rate of change, it will take at least 46 more years for women's pay to be equal to that of men"  (emphasis added; Orozco, Lee, Blando, & Shooshani, 2014, p. 169).  In addition, African-American and Latino women earn less then white males, at 69.5 % and 60.5% respectively (Orozco, Lee, Blando, & Shooshani, 2014).

    "A more relational focus can lead women to place the needs of others before their own or have difficulty being aware of their own needs (Murphy, 1992)" (Orozco, Lee, Blando, & Shooshani, 2014, p. 170). ]]>     2018-10-27 16:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/297665180     Worldviews 2jinxed https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/297666594 Consider the following: 
    Women want to be equal.  However according to Horner's theory "fear of success,"  could women actually be part of the problem?  Or, does the problem lie in traditional societal forces?

    According to the American Association of University Women (1991), "in adolescence, when traditional society views of women as less competent become salient, girls are much more at risk for loss of self-esteem than boys are" (Orozco, Lee, Blando & Shooshani, 2014, p. 170).

    • Women talk to become more intimate.
    • Men talk to share information.
    This notion has important implications to the field of counseling.

ASK 2jinxed https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/298119466 In my counseling experience, I have learned that one of the best ways to deal with cultural/gender differences is to ask. One should never assume that they can understand another experiences, therefore, it is important to be willing to listen, ask questions to clarify, and not be afraid to dig deeper into a client's cultural background. By providing the right context and building a strong rapport, students especially, will be more likely to tell you the truth about what is occurring in their lives. When in doubt, when you feel as though you are not getting a complete picture, ASK.  Be willing to acknowledge that you don't know , but that you want to learn. After all, our students will be the best resource we have for understanding future students.]]> 2018-10-29 16:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/298119466 References 2jinxed https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/299179731 2018-10-31 20:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2jinxed/6cuyw697gpiz/wish/299179731
