6. Serve On Juries
不准担任陪审团成员
Until a 1975 Supreme Court ruling, women were legally excluded from being members of a jury. It was believed that they wouldn’t be able to handle the violent details of some crimes and were also too prone to emotion to make rational judgments. It was also believed that jury duty would distract from their homemaking responsibilities.
1975年，最高法院裁决女性可以成为陪审团成员。在那之前，人们认为女性无法承受某些犯罪行为的暴力细节，并且会因为过于情绪化而无法做出理性判断。此外，人们还相信她们的持家指责会被此所干扰。
