Woman Are Canaries Response to Rob: Written in the spirit of - let's torment Rob! "Women are canaries in the coal mine of power." Sounds great. Should be written on the walls in The Miners' Canary exhibition. Consensual management, flextime, etc., are definitely the right changes to conditions of labour. But wait: something is very wrong here. It seems to me that any statement that starts with "Women are ..." (great leaders, canaries, etc.) is liable to the same stereotyping, generalizing abuses of power historically associated with statements such as "Men are ..." (great leaders, eagles, etc.). But you sure have got me thinking about the relationship between the title and the intention of The Miners' Canary exhibition.
