  1. Update. "Early parenthood was associated with the largest gender disparities in scientific citations, favoring men, while these disparities diminished among those who became parents after age 35."

  2. Update. In the field of emergency medicine, most journals (66%) did not comply with the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (#SAGER) guidelines. However, those that did had "significantly" higher citation impact than those that did not.

    "Systematic Underfunding of Long Covid, ME/CFS, and Other Debilitating Diseases That Disproportionately Affect Women"

    "Dr. Bonuck found severe underfunding was not only for Long Covid but was generally true for diseases predominantly affecting women. Six of the ten most underfunded conditions were those affecting women more than men, including ME/CFS …"

  4. Update. "Despite overall gains since 2015, women remain underrepresented in scientific organizations compared with their share of the global scientific workforce (31.1% of researchers worldwide in 2022). In national academies, women represent on average 19% of members in 2025, up from 12% in 2015 and 16% in 2020, with proportions ranging from 2% to nearly 40%. The share of academies with very low representation (fewer than 10% women members) has fallen by around half since 2015."

  9. Update. "This study examines how editorial roles are distributed by gender across a national platform-based journal system…[We] distinguish four role categories—executive, operational, support, and symbolic…Women are significantly less likely to hold executive editorial positions…and more likely to occupy operational…and support roles…When these roles are aggregated into a single gatekeeping indicator, the gender coefficient becomes non-significant—not because stratification is absent, but because opposing effects cancel each other out. Role-disaggregated analysis is therefore a necessary condition for valid inference about editorial gender equity in role-differentiated settings."

  10. Women submit significantly fewer articles to high-impact journals than men. (The percentages differ by field.) When asked why, the most common response was that "they were advised not to." elifesciences.org/articles/90049 #Gender #GenderBias #ScholComm

  11. Update. Many studies look at the acceptance rate for articles by women at high-impact journals. This one looks at the submission rate, and finds that women submit significantly fewer articles to these journals than men. (The percentages differ by field.) When asked why, the most common response was that "they were advised not to."

  13. Update. "Citation counts [for female authors] are on average 5.5% lower than those of comparable male authors…Papers produced by all-female teams receive 56.7% fewer citations than those by all-male teams, while mixed-gender teams achieve a 30.9% citation advantage."

  14. So...How biased is AI exactly?? 🤖

    Remoy talked with @maria_teleki about how AI and its large language models reinforce society's gender bias. One of the impacts? 💰️💸

  15. Analysis of time between submission and publication of all (>36.5 million) articles in the PubMed database shows that articles with female authors have a systematically and significantly greater time until publication.

  16. Update. "By analyzing all articles indexed in the PubMed database (>36.5 million articles published in >36,000 biomedical and life sciences journals), we show that the median amount of time spent under review is 7.4%–14.6% longer for female-authored articles than for male-authored articles."

  17. Update. A letter to the editor about a study I posted to this thread 11/23/25: "The suggestion that [the lower #retraction rate for women] is because male researchers undergo more scrutiny, propose bolder ideas and lead larger and more dynamic teams than do female researchers implies that male scientists are better at science. As female scientists, our lived experience points to alternative explanations: elevated rigour and scientific integrity by female scientists or more critical peer review of female-led manuscripts."

  18. Update. "We conduct a comprehensive comparison between peer-review scores and citation-based metrics across various scientific fields [in Italy]…While both evaluation methods exhibit sex bias, peer review systematically penalizes women more severely than citation-based metrics."

  19. Update. In the field of oil pollution research, "female authors accounted for about 32% of the total authors…were significantly underrepresented in most of the African countries [and in] the UK and Norway…Gender variation in oil pollution publications was discovered to be influenced by religion in Africa; Islam had the mean highest rank when compared with Christianity."

  20. Update. "In male-dominated fields, women have significantly broader research interests than men, while this gap diminishes and reverses in more gender-balanced fields. Although broader publication trajectories help women increase publication output, this strategy carries steeper citation penalties for women than for men. The results suggest that academic fields act as sites of inequality production, channeling women toward research patterns that boost immediate productivity while undermining long-term scholarly influence."

  22. Measuring Gender Bias in Job Title Matching for Grammatical Gender Languages
    arxiv.org/pdf/2509.13803
    "… propose a methodology to measure gender bias in a high-impact #NLP application in the human resources domain: job title matching. Using an existing test set in English for this task, we have generated gender-annotated analogous corpora in four languages with grammatical gender, and addressed the evaluation of #genderBias as ranking comparison controlling for gender. Additionally, we establish baselines and confirm that this type of bias already exists in out-of-the-box pre-trained models, which are often used as the core for developing job title matching applications.

    Finding a trade-off between model performance and #gender #bias is an important issue to address when developing and selecting job matching models for deployment. On the one hand, choosing a model with apparent good performance but that in turn shows a considerable gender gap may not only be ethically questionable, but it may also result in reputation and even legal consequences on the company responsible for it."

  23. The early XY advantage.

    A friend in education relayed some direct experiences they had with two children from the same family.

    The girl needed some additional resources to get to the reading level she needed to be. The parents answer was "nope, she doesn't need it."

    A couple years later, their boy comes through the same classroom and receives the same assessment. "Get him everything he needs to catch up" said the parents.

    Subtle oppression, anyone?

  24. Stephen Frears – „The Lost King“ (2022)

    Hier geht es um Wahrheit, Obsession und die Wiedergewinnung weiblicher Deutungshoheit – und letztlich ist es auch ein Lehrstück über das, was verloren geht, wenn sich ein erfahrener Regisseur zu sehr auf das Kunsthandwerk verlässt und zu wenig auf das politische Jetzt. Dabei hätte dieser Film das Potenzial gehabt, ein feministisches Manifest zu sein.
