WiRED surveyed 634 women in tech. 59% had seen or experienced #genderbias. And everyone is pushed to use #AI. But "sloppy, half-assed work gets praise when a man does it with #Claude, whereas if I or any other women present[ed] that we’d get fired.” https://www.wired.com/story/women-in-tech-survey/

Update. In France, the gender productivity gap has "a U-shaped trajectory: the gap is already present at age 30, widens to 31% at age 42, then partially narrows without ever closing. This pattern, robust across cohorts and most disciplines, reflects distinct dynamics: men’s productivity rises faster, plateaus higher, then declines after age 50, while women’s productivity experiences a late-career resurgence, particularly among researchers. Life sciences are a notable exception…Women are 15% less likely to apply for grants, a difference 2.5 times larger in life sciences…Women [face] a higher performance threshold for advancement, particularly in the life sciences."

I was in a Savers the other day, waiting to use an electrical outlet, when an older guy (I definitely wouldn't call him a gentleman) was testing a leaf blower. It didn't have the nozzle on it and it didn't work. I pointed out that if there's a cutoff switch where the nozzle joins the body then it wouldn't work anyway for safety reasons. I should have kept my mouth shut. The abuse I got for voicing something he didn't think of was tremendous.
I appear female.
I'm so tired.

Ah, yet another #groundbreaking revelation: computers might be biased! 🙄 These brilliant minds have cracked the code that if you ask stupid questions, you get stupid answers... but with a side of gender bias! 🤯 Groundbreaking stuff, folks! 🙌

Update. Without knowing author names, #ChatGPT rated male first-authored articles higher in quality than female first-authored papers. The results differed by discipline. But in some fields, the male-preference disparity was even larger than the same disparity in #REF ratings.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.09552"Gender differences were not evident for solo research in the social sciences, arts and humanities…The male-favouring pattern for first-authored research was not explained by gender differences in writing styles, at least as reflected in abstract complexity…Average ChatGPT scores may differ by first-author gender indirectly through other factors, such as field, topic, method, journal context or authorship structure. Thus, this is an additional reason to be cautious with AI-based research evaluation."

AI isn't just copying our biases—it can amplify them. A new study found female characters appeared in only 2% of AI-generated children's animal stories. Maybe let humans tell the stories.

Update. "In STEM fields, women first and last authors make fewer novelty claims [defined as "rhetorical statements that frame research as novel"] than men, and this is associated with fewer citations. In humanities and social sciences, novelty claims remain positively associated with citations, but there are no gender differences in their use or in citations."

Update. "We calculated the ratio between the overall share of female authors and the share of female corresponding authors [in >220 million publications by ≈ 60 million authors, over the last 125 years]…Our analyses reveal a continuous increase in overall female participation, rising from approximately 10% in the 1910s to over 40% in recent years…However, over the past two decades, this trend has globally inverted, indicating a decline of the traditional [disparity]…Despite these overarching trends, significant disciplinary and regional differences persist."

📝 Mein eigener Genderbias und Gendersprache
In meinen Texten nutze ich Gendersprache, weil der Nutzen wissenschaftlich belegt ist. Neulich habe ich wieder meinen eigenen Genderbias gemerkt und sehe den Nutzen nochmal direkter.

Update. In Spanish cancer research, "the number of papers authored by men was greater than that authored by women, although there was a gradual trend towards parity. Interestingly, the two most prolific authors are women, and women have larger co-authorship networks than men do. Funding is an important factor in determining whether an article is published in the first or second quartile [of #JIF journals], as is collaboration between two or more countries. However, the percentage of women and preferred authorship does not determine the [citation] impact of a publication, and as the percentage of women increases, the citation count decreases."

Update. "There is no clear evidence of systemic gender differences in funding success rates. However…if funding rates do not show gender differences, there are still clear gender differences in the system overall, with women representing only 36% of all applicants. Moreover, the paper warns against concluding that gender bias is absent simply because funding rates appear equal."

“In the new study, Chatoo created an AI-supported resume for a marketing position and asked 1,000 adults in the U.K. to evaluate the candidate during April 2026. The evaluators received identical resumes and were told that the candidate had used AI assistance. The only difference among the resumes was the candidate’s name. Half of the evaluators saw Emily Clarke, while half saw James Clark.
Despite identical resume content, the evaluators judged women candidates much more harshly for using AI assistance than men.
The evaluators who attributed the AI-assisted resume to a woman were twice as likely to question the candidate’s competency. “She can’t even write a CV herself—not sure she has the skill to carry out the job,” said one of the evaluators of Emily’s resume.
In contrast, evaluators who attributed the AI-assisted resume to a man were twice as likely to view the candidate as showing initiative. In other words, a woman’s use of AI was evidence of inability, while a man’s use of AI to create the identical product was viewed as pragmatic problem solving.”

Update. "We found that gendered male authors represented 60% of first and last authors, 65% of first and last authorships (FLAs), and 91% of highly productive authors (those with ≥ 10 FLAs). Last authorships were particularly male-dominated, with 2.7 times as many last authorships by gendered male authors as by gendered female authors."

Update. "An analysis of first and last authorship in journals tracked by Nature Index reveals a persistent gender imbalance…indicating that recognition in top-tier academic publishing has not kept pace with women’s growing presence in research. Among the natural-sciences journals tracked by the index, women represented 29% of first-author positions and 17% of last-author positions in 2025. These figures have improved only slightly over the past decade."

Rollenbilder töten.
Frauen erkranken doppelt so häufig an Depression — und werden als hysterisch abgetan.
Männer begehen dreimal häufiger Suizid — weil das Ideal des „starken Mannes" Hilfe suchen verhindert. Männliche Depression zeigt sich nicht als Traurigkeit, sondern als Erschöpfung, Alkohol, Aggressivität. Wird nicht erkannt. Wird nicht behandelt.
Beide zahlen den Preis.
Die Rollenbilder bleiben unangetastet.

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."

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.

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."

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."
