Completely at a loss. I'm deeply humbled by this honor and all the incredibly kind support, and will strive to prove worthy of them both.

@amydiehl @KieranSnyder @LydiaBreakfast Again, this is so 1950s. So sad that we have not advanced beyond this.

Women's empowerment does not always equal instant progress, as it can result in backlash. Rapid advancements in women’s professional standing were found to exacerbate gender bias in entrepreneurial bank finance: more loan rejections & higher interest rates.https://t.co/qSmZOmm5YH

Property has better rights in the US legal system than women. "OJ never served a day in prison for the murder of Nicole. But for that property crime, he served almost nine years." @MoiraDonegan https://t.co/6bKdv4sz73

@Louise_m_perry Loved the essay!

[Louise Perry @Louise_m_perry]

this week I published an essay on female aggression that made some women angry because I wasn't resoundingly pro-women, plus an essay on Andrea Dworkin that made some men angry because I wasn't resoundingly pro-men.

I'm a sex wars centrist – everyone is bad!

Study (N=163) finds women professors did 75% of internal service work; men 25%. Women viewed it as compliance or an investment; men dodged with evasiveness or used barter. Yet men did 50% of external service work. @mikmeyer
