    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/09/claudia-goldin-nobel-economics-prize-gender-pay-gap

    Interesting - 'Goldin has charted the work life and incomes of women to show that the Industrial Revolution caused a huge fall in their independent earnings compared with men before a recovery at the turn of the last century that was accelerated by changing attitudes after the second world war.' I explain why this is in my work, but I haven't (yet) got a Nobel Prize.... :)

    No idea why this had never occurred to me before, but so many Star Trek characters are 'half and half'. Spock, originally, of course, but we have a half-human half-Klingon, a half-human half-Betazoid, and I don't know what else. Maybe this has a special appeal for those of us who are human 'half and halfs'.

    @Piss_Ant I definitely look more like the right one.

    Top tip given to me in my teens when I first started social dancing. If you want to be the lead that all the women want to dance with, put your hand in the centre of her back, not on her hip. (Further social dance tips available on request.)

    @GalacticTurtle Yeah tbh I wonder that as well. Was just reading something about how 'women's land' (in the US?) isn't welcoming to women of colour, proof of which is that not many women of colour participate in the movement, and thought 'well maybe it's because there aren't a lot of women of colour in these areas?' (though I guess to be fair, now that I'm writing this, there's probably a high-ish population of Hispanic women in/near some of these places, and it might be of interest to find out why they might not have wanted to participate).

    @GalacticTurtle Interesting! Yes - not only are these women's lands in rural areas (I think there are a lot in the western desert as well - Colorado, New Mexico, etc.) but in areas in the US where in general it's less safe/not safe for women of colour. And the financial and personal commitment required is a pretty high stake. Like you said initially, if for whatever reason you want 'diverse' people to participate in your thing your first step needs to be to be where the 'diverse' people are. And your next step, like your church example, needs to be to offer what these 'diverse' people want and need.

    Contrary to self-improvement best practice, I like to spend the first 15-30 minutes of my morning going through my social media and looking at the one blog I follow and the one online newspaper whose headlines I routinely scan. On weekends or when I have time I take a little longer and enjoy it. This morning I had a flashback to an earlier time (and for all I know some couples/families still do this) of spending leisurely Sunday mornings with the Sunday paper, dividing it up into sections (travel, business, sports, comics, women's/fashion, weekly magazine) and parcelling them out to various family members depending on interest/seniority.

    From Ovarit: https://archive.is/QyuCD

    Pretty amazing - if you're 'trans' (probably basically if you're male and trans) you can join the US armed forces and get all your medical perks for free, and also opt out of deployment and physical fitness requirements. And get to sleep and shower with women. Sounds like a great deal.

    Yougov survey question - there were a few others like this that I wish I'd also got screenshots of. They seem to be trying to connect these with questions like 'there is only one true religion'. I guess it's good-ish news that someone is attempting to gauge public opinion.

    @VioletFirePhoenix As well as all your male headspace. Even women who don't have men, kids, and other dependants in our lives still have to think about making sure we have clean clothes, clean house and food - we haven't got the house elves to worry about that for us.

    @GalacticTurtle Literally the definition of 'referral', and the definition of 'respect'.

    Weirdly I was having a conversation about a similar topic in my field - the 'traditional style' of work in one sector is the banging your fist on the table, raising your voice, intimidating other men into doing what you say thing, and I have seen it on many occasions in my career, but we like to think that in general we don't work like that any more, as it doesn't actually end up getting you the best results. So now people like me are in higher demand in this particular sector, because we approach our work and our interactions differently. (And I've been reading The Cult of Trump - which suggests that this interactional style is still highly desirable by both men and women.)

    @GalacticTurtle There's also a lot of 'monkey see monkey do' going on here. These men see older men they respect behaving this way so that's what they emulate. No man is ever going to observe a woman, particularly a young Black woman, and say 'I will behave like she does', even if how she behaves is by any objective standard actually more successful.

    @GalacticTurtle Possibly because in both of the fields we're in (and plenty of others) it's far more important for men to sort themselves in the dominance hierarchy, and to achieve and demonstrate their status, than to actually get any work done.

    I guess I could have realised this if I'd thought about it, but puberty blockers are by definition a catch-22.

      Guest post: Brain development is both experiential and hormonal
      from Ophelia Benson
      Originally a comment by Freemage on Mandatory affirmation. Puberty blockers have been weighing on my mind, in particular, lately. The whole claim is that the blockers prevent the development of sexual characteristics until the child has become old enough to be able to decide for themselves as an adult whether or not to transition.
