Rep. Jan Schakowsky Suggests Women Might Not Pursue Jobs in Manufacturing Because “Man” is in the Name

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing.

Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.”

Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it.

Looking For A Match Made In Heaven? This Japanese City Is For People Seeking Love

If you pray for love in Izumo, there’s a good chance you’ll be heard. Every year, eight million gods gather in this seaside city to decide the fate of humans’ relationships.

The romance of air travel still exists. At least that’s the impression when you land at Japan’s auspiciously named Izumo Enmusubi Airport. Translating roughly to “the tying (musubi) of bonds (en)”, or, more popularly, “matchmaking”, the word enmusubi encompasses many of the relationships that are part of life, such as those with family, friends and work, but most often references romantic entanglements.

This connotation is in the air as you step off the plane and walk past a statue of a jovial god named Okuninushi, known as the “great matchmaking power”, and a rack of ema (wooden prayer plaques) inscribed with travellers’ romantic wishes.

It may seem like travellers here have love on the mind, and that’s because if you pray for love in Izumo, there’s a good chance you’ll be heard.
