“Equal protection of the laws” was granted to all persons by the 14th Amendment in 1868. But for nearly a century after that, women had a hard time convincing the courts that they should be allowed to be jurors, lawyers, and bartenders, just the same as men. A then-lawyer at the ACLU named Ruth Bader Ginsburg set out to convince an all-male Supreme Court to take sex discrimination seriously with an unconventional strategy. She didn’t just bring cases where women were the victims of discrimination; she also brought cases where men were the victims. In this episode, we look at how a key battle for gender equality was won with frat boys and beer.

Mechanical physical injury/trauma to hair cells from impulse sound. 2. Metabolic/chemical injury from build up of calcium during stress, causing hair cell death from the accumulation of noise exposure. 4. Myths 1. If you have hearing loss, things must be louder in order for you to hear them. 2. If you already have hearing loss, you don't need ear plugs. 5.
