Spoke to Der Spiegel about gender differences in what makes a partner attractive. And why women being picky and men being not ambitious enough is a lame story that does not become more true by reiterating it.

Day 2 of the great #GIF2025 at @mpidr.bsky.social. Listening to @philipncohen.com pick apart the "depopulation panic" w/ figures like this: if global TFR drops to 1.66, in ~200yrs, the global population will be at the 2000 level. Of course these panics are not about humanity as a whole, are they?
An entire conference of family demographers. Outstanding! #GIF2025 (what is the collective noun for this?)

Unlike men, German women’s income drops by 20 percent on average upon marriage. Reasons are nonegalitarian gender roles and incentives for joint taxation. WP here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4ffpm... www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/a...
Einkommen von Frauen sinken nach Heirat um 20 Prozent
Wenn Frauen heiraten, sinkt ihr Arbeitseinkommen im Schnitt um 20 Prozent. Das bestätigt eine neue Studie. Als Gründe nennen die Forscher falsche Anreize im Steuersystem und alte Rollenbilder.

Ich hoffe, die zukünftigen Koalitionäre (ich nutze mal bewusst die männliche Form) lesen diesen Beitrag von Birgit Riegraf, ehemalige Präsidentin der @unipaderborn.bsky.social. Gerade in diesen Zeiten ist Geschlechterforschung unverzichtbar!
„Wissenschaft und Politik müssen die Angriffe auf die Geschlechterforschung ernst nehmen“
Die Soziologin Birgitt Riegraf warnt davor, Angriffe auf die Gender Studies herunterzuspielen. Sie seien ein „Testfall“ für die Demokratie.

🇩🇪🗳️ German election 2025 The conservative coalition (CDU/CSU) won Sunday’s national vote, while the far-right AfD saw its best-ever result, winning swathes of support in the east. For the SPD, it was a disaster. The results: www.politico.eu/article/germ...
The gender gap in voting behavior in the 18-24 yrs age group in yesterday’s election in Germany. Women lean towards the left, men to the right.
Mehr als die Hälfte aller erwerbstätigen Frauen in Deutschland haben keine langfristige Existenzsicherung. Die ökonomische Abhängigkeit von Müttern minderjähriger Kinder ist mit 70% noch höher.
Gleichberechtigung: Jede zweite erwerbstätige Frau kann die eigene Existenz nicht sichern
Die Hälfte der Frauen kann laut einer Studie des DGB langfristig nicht allein von ihrem Einkommen überleben. Grund ist auch die ungleiche Rollenverteilung bei Paaren.
