If you have seen our list of 76 articles demonstrating gender and/or racial bias in student evaluations - you will love this! I've just posted summaries for 75% of the articles. Summaries cover main findings, and are generally more precise than abstracts. rebeccakreitzer.com/summarie…

What proportion of US men in college / university have used sexual violence against a woman? Recent studies find proportions anywhere from e.g. 1.6% in the last year to 25% by the end of 4th year in college. Some studies assess lifetime perpetration, finding rates of 10.8 to 51%.

If a woman did nothing else except save the average gap in weekly earnings between men and women, $241.50, in just 15 years she would easily have more cash than the average Australian woman retires with. My @smh column. smh.com.au/money/super-and-r…

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.

Why, when and how men rape: A study in South Africa among men aged 18-49 finds 27.6% have raped a woman. Most were motivated by sexual entitlement, also boredom & ‘entertainment’, & as punishment against girlfriends and other women. Most had first raped girls/women as teenagers.

I hate that any pants I wear which are actually comfortable are traditionally given a ‘negative’ adjective before them: granny pants, period pants, comfy pants. Men just say pants. I think women should too. Also VPL. Men also don’t give a shit about that.

Gender inequality is as much a story of male privilege as it is a story of female disadvantage.
Let’s all say it together. Men have a gender too. Gender doesn’t hold women back. Discrimination against women does. bbc.co.uk/news/education-485…

On #MaboDay I pay my greatest respect to the Mabo family and the claimants who took their case to the High Court and won.
Today we remember the sacrifice and struggle of all First Nations who fight for the return of lands from the false doctrine of Terra Nullius.

In the 1920s, cigarettes were promoted as "torches of freedom", to encourage women to smoke.
Now fossil fuels are being promoted by the US government as "molecules of freedom".
With similar consequences for planetary health.

It looks like Piketty's book, "Capital in the 21st Century", has been adapted for the big screen, and will premiere at the Sydney Film Festival on 13 June.

Been working on how I write emails:
“So sorry for the delay”
New: “Thanks for your patience”
(I FORGOT, BUT YOU CAN DEAL)
“What works best for you?“
New: “Could you do __:__?”
(MY TIME MATTERS TOO, OKAY)
“No problem!”
New: “Happy to help!”
(YEAH, YOU’RE WELCOME)

If a woman has sex with 100 random men in a year, she can still only produce one full term pregnancy. If a guy has sex with 100 random women in a year, he can produce 100 full term pregnancies. So why exactly are we only talking about regulating women?

I have an idea for people who are unable to protest on May 24, but want to express their opinion. The idea is to go to school/work in swimming glasses on that day, in support of hundreds of millions of people who will lose their homes due to rising global sea levels.

Has anyone else noticed the repeated assumption that poor children are the ones that behave badly in schools? Have we ever thought that it might be our own bias and expectations which mean that we see behaviour differently depending on who is in front of us?
