This article describes the innovative job performance strategies used by women who work as guards in men's prisons. It suggests that women guards perform the job differently from men guards not only because women face structural and discriminatory barriers on the job but also because most women bring to the job a set of prior experiences, skills, and abilities different from those of most men. One of the reasons women may fail to receive positive performance evaluations in jobs traditionally held by men is that they are being evaluated on the basis of how well their work behavior matches that of men doing the same work. This article argues that there are multiple ways to perform jobs and that to expect women to perform jobs in the same manner as their male colleagues is a form of gender bias. Women should be judged by how effective they are, not by whether their approaches to work are similar to those of men.

Dear Weed wacker, In a nutshell, both ? maybe. In other words, there?s currently no clear diagnosis for marijuana addiction [2], but dependence from excessive use can manifest in both physiological and psychological symptoms. Check out Drinking addiction: Psychological or physical? [3] for more info on the differences between psychological dependence and physical dependence. However, keep in mind that dependence to marijuana is actually fairly rare. In fact, there is a nine percent chance that a user will become dependent on marijuana at some point in their lifetime. This makes it pretty unlikely that marijuana use would cause dependence compared to most other drugs, even though it?s one of the most widely used in the world. That being said, the risk of dependence increases with the frequency of use in and other factors like age and genetics (more on that later). Whether the symptoms of dependence are more physiological or psychological can vary between individuals.
