30 Criticisms That Hold Women Leaders Back, According to New Research

The study looked at 913 women leaders in four female-dominated fields.

The researchers found that there was no “sweet spot” where a woman could position herself without being criticized. Women were either too young or too old, too attractive or not attractive enough, too educated or not educated enough. They ultimately found that women leaders were “never quite right.”

Primarily white, male and heterosexual: Spanish art examines its unresolved issues.

Creative pursuits in Spain face the challenge of purging the country’s colonial vision, critically reviewing its relationship with the Americas and overcoming a gender bias.

Is there a solution? Is it as bad as we think?

AAAS: "Worldwide survey kills the myth of 'Man the Hunter'." Anthropologists have reported women in societies which both hunt + gather who skillfully slay prey. In the 1980s, 'Agta women of the Philippines drew bows and arrows as tall as themselves and aimed at wild pigs and deer, and Matses Amazonians struck paca rodents with machetes.' In the 1990s 'Aka great-grandmothers and girls as young as age 5 [were observed] trapping duiker and porcupinein central Africa.' Last month a study was 'published in PLOS ONE has united these reports for a first-of-its-kind global view of women hunters, which documented 'that women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.' "In the early to mid–20th century, influential anthropologists championed the view that hunting and meat consumption drove humanity’s most striking evolutionary changes, including bipedalism, big brains, and tool use." This Man the Hunter narrative stressed that ancestral males roamed widely in prusuit of prey, while women stayed near a central location, gathering plants + caring for children. This idea of male hunting + female gathering created gender-bound roles, perhaps beginning over a million yrs ago, or so the hypothesis ran. An example: 'Women would be additionally impaired by their “more sedentary and less aggressive” nature, wrote anthropologist Brian Hayden in 1981.' Information about forager societies mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing. 'Charles University biological anthropologist Cara Wall-Scheffler searched D-PLACE, a database of information about 1400 human cultural groups from the past few centuries.' 63 forager groups were identified from the late 1800s to the 2010s in the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, Australia, and Oceania. And women hunted in 50 of those 63 societies. These results should provoke a lot of conversations.

I can’t stress enough how *simple* gender rewriting is as a technique for dealing with #GenderBias in #MachineTranslation. Here I’ve summarized it in three easy steps. https://www.fairslator.com/how-gender-rewriting-works

Update. "Among all editors [of major #pediatrics journals], 39.2%…were women, and 38.4% of physician editors…were women."

This clip shows perfectly how #genderdiscrimination works. Nobel laureate says he "feels discriminated as male scientist", but when a young brave female scientist takes microphone to respond to that comment, the moderator tries to shut her down. Dude, she is not the one who started this!
This lady is my hero!

Oh my goodness. This blows my mind. I love it. Please read it. Here are some things I just learned from this text:

"Everybody had just taken this man-the-#hunter hypothesis for granted. So no one really decided to evaluate it," says Haas. "It wasn't really a question on a lot of people's minds."

In 79% of societies, women did hunt.

And my favourite:
The best hunters were grandmothers.

New study kills the myth of ‘Man the Hunter’ - women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.

Information about forager societies (allowing to reinforce the myth) mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.

Another brilliant article highlighting that all research - too - is biased. "...bias is part of us: we live in a world steeped in conventional gender roles."

@murpunktat Immer wieder ist es verstörend, über den riesigen #GenderBias bei #Wikipedia zu hören. Es braucht mehr Frauen* als Editorinnen!
Und das gilt auch für diverse Minderheiten.
Immerhin gibt es dazu einen Wikipediaeintrag:

@amydiehl
one of my unhelpful and terrible mental routines is to "bypass" the domestic agenda, so not sharing the mental loads; I tried and am trying to allocate more time, but would really like to see others' practices to break this mental cycle? #academichatter #parenting #genderbias

My copy of #GlassWalls arrived this morning! I sat down 45 min ago, read through 2 chapters, and have decided I’m going to buy it for a dozen of my coworkers. This book is practical, insightful, and has SO MUCH potential to make a difference in the lives of women who work in organizations. Thank you @amydiehl and Leanne Dzubinski for this work; I’m so grateful. 💞 #GenderBias #Progress #Equalism #Feminist #ProfLife

Unadjusted Creatinine Hinders Females to Get New Liver

- We investigated options to reduce this gender inequality

- We identified 72 of 650 (11%) females with an original #MELD score < 20, for whom the adjusted female-as-male MELD score would be >20, thus giving them a better chance to receive a #Liver #Transplant

**Gender biases against women have not improved in a decade – UN study**

"In the #Philippines, 99.5% of the entire population hold biases against women, specifically: 99.33% of all men, and 99.67% of all women, according to WVS data from 2017 to 2022 presented by the UNDP’s study."

Misogyny runs deep among #Filipinos. Sad.
