My friend/colleague is launching a study that aims to look at the process of acculturation .
If you or someone you know is #SouthAsian and identifies as #male, please consider filling out this survey. Your responses bring to the forefront #research that can support #MentalHealth initiatives in our community.

The Far Right’s Campaign to Explode the Population >>
"The threat, we are told here this weekend, is existential, #biological, epoch-defining. Economies will fail, #civilizations will fall, and it will all happen because people aren’t having enough #babies.
“The entire global #financial system, the value of your money, and every #asset you might buy with money is defined by leverage, which means its value depends on growth...." >>
>> ...And to ensure that these #children grow up to be adults who understand their #proper place in both the #family and the larger #social order, we need to oust #women from the workforce and reinstitute #male-only spaces “where women are #disadvantaged as a result,” shampoo magnate and aspiring warlord Charles Haywood says, prompting cheers from the #men in the audience."
So unsurprising how conservative commentary about declining birth rates inevitably leads to #racism and #misogyny 🤷🏻♀️🙄
Male-defaultism in #archaeology is bloody annoying.
Just because someone draws a #hunting scene in a #cave, doesn't mean it was a man doing so or depicting one.
Every #archer grave from the Bell Beaker Era MUST be #male because even when they find #female additions, that just means she is related to a great man or the male lost status (of course).
Archaeologist Randy Haas just assumed he found a male big game hunter in Peru in 2013. Except he didn't.
This lovely #male#chaffinch was following me around #VictoriaPark this morning.
I tried explaining that I didn’t have any food but it’s almost like he didn’t understand… 🤷♂️
Selfies, 2005 03. Really mostly a reminiscence of that amazing studio space. The leaseholder made art of/about furniture and there were always a few interesting vintage pieces around.
How Many of Your State’s Lawmakers Are #Women?
If You Live in the #Southeast, It Could Be Just 1 in 5
A record number of women were elected to statehouses last year.
But in the Southeast, where some legislatures are more than 80% #male, representation is lagging as lawmakers pass bills that most impact women, like near-total #abortion bans.
I feel that most programming languages are #male: the #imperative#paradigm (do this, then do that) matches the stereotype of "man commanding". Object-oriented #OO paradigm, same thing. #Functional paradigm resembles an assembly line, also stereotypically male.
You know how among primitive humans men did the hunting and women did what women are supposed to do — stayed "home" taking care of the children and the home front while their brave men brought home the bacon? We all know this is how things worked back then.
But it appears what we have "known" doesn't fit the facts. As Cara Ocobock and Sarah Lacy report,
"Mounting evidence from exercise science indicates that women are physiologically better suited than men to endurance efforts such as running marathons. This advantage bears on questions about hunting because a prominent hypothesis contends that early humans are thought to have pursued prey on foot over long distances until the animals were exhausted."
