Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the Canadian academy, gendered euphemisms are used to subtly undermine women leaders. Terms and phrases like ‘don't rock the boat' diminish women's authority, objectify them, and reinforce gender stereotypes contributing to a culture that invalidates women's contributions, emotional expression, and autonomy. Gendered euphemisms have been used to pressure women to conform to certain behaviors and to tolerate inappropriate conduct, suggesting that the status quo is preferred rather than unsettling the comfortable narrative that the academy is inclusive. This chapter documents four women's experiences as leaders in the academy through a gender-based perspective and the policing of women via gendered euphemisms. Five themes emerged through the collaborative self-study: 1) discrediting of women leaders, 2) normalization at the institutional level, 3) risk and reluctance to report abuse, 4) women's coping strategies, and 5) additional labor for women leaders. The chapter concludes with recommendations and hope for women's advancement.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
