“In our research we found no age was the right age to be a woman leader. There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously, to discount their opinions, or to not hire or promote them”#everydaysexism #equity #leadership #ageism https://t.co/EfEsBNOWNa

Cool 90-second vid from @restorativejake highlighting recent social research on motherhood.

Look for more visual sociology from @TheSocietyPages in coming months. This one's based on "There's Research on That" pieces by @HSchwendeman and @MahalaMiller. https://t.co/R9PDUX2L5m

"The law also forbids public colleges from offering general education courses ... [that teach] that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, or privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States..."

This is a death blow. Here's what happens next...

In @lisawade's book, American Hookup, she shows that the ability to attract partners in the hookup scene was mostly related to players’ having the right affective dispositions.

Zoomers must not care about having relationships IN ORDER to find a partner now.

Female economists are less likely to be spoken to in a positive tone, and are interrupted for slightly longer, at NBER summer seminars. This is a brilliant use of machine learning!! It would be incredibly time consuming, and subject to bias, to do by hand.

One of the key reasons why South Korea has the lowest birthrates in the world, summed up in one survey: when asked by matchmaking agencies to describe the biggest obstacle to marriage, women cited men's views on domestic duty sharing. Men said feminism.

Everyone deserves time to heal & care, but far too many of us still don't have even a single paid day off. Learn about the laws that guarantee leave rights (or don't) with @CAPWomen's new Guide to Workplace Leave Laws: https://t.co/8En7oAl1cl

Dads!! It's not what you say, but what you do!! This paper shows that rather than the #GenderRoleAttitudes parents hold, how much #housework #fathers do *absolute and relative to that of moms, and time spent on #childcare that shapes children's GRAs.
