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.
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.

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.
"It may seem positive that Islam is being discussed by former detractors beyond the prisms of #extremism and #terrorism, but this exchange is part of a growing trend of something more ominous that involves #ideological borrowing in both directions.
Conversely, conservative #male pundits in the West are hosting #Muslim voices on their #podcasts and #shows.
And while these #groups have historically been at loggerheads, the overlaps in their values are also clear in their opposition to #feminism and the #antisemitism that is rife in both #communities."
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.
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.
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… 🤷♂️
