People who champion social equality are often the loudest critics of the political status quo. A new study finds that as nations actually achieve greater gender parity, these egalitarian individuals become much more likely to defend the very political systems they once criticized. The research, published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, shows how shifting social realities can alter deep-seated psychological motives.
After World War II, democratic societies began adopting formal legal frameworks designed to guarantee gender equality. These structural changes eventually sparked a slow but steady cultural shift toward more egalitarian attitudes across the globe. Psychologists define system justification as the human tendency to defend and rationalize the existing social or political order. Historically, researchers linked this tendency to anti-egalitarian beliefs.
People who preferred strict social hierarchies generally defended the political establishment to maintain their dominant position in society. In contrast, people with egalitarian views typically criticized the establishment in hopes of dismantling those hierarchies. Social dominance theory has guided psychological research on prejudice for decades. It proposes that human societies naturally form group-based hierarchies, but individuals vary in how much they support this structure.
Researchers have documented how a preference for hierarchy predicts prejudice against minority groups and opposition to affirmative action. Conversely, individuals who favor equality actively scan their environments for signs of unfairness and work to dismantle power imbalances. For a long time, researchers viewed these egalitarian individuals as permanent critics of the status quo. Psychologists assumed that the drive to achieve equality inherently required a person to challenge the institutions around them.
Yet, recent studies show that egalitarian people are highly accurate at detecting when inequality is actually absent. This raised a new question for psychologists. If a society successfully implements equal rights, egalitarians might logically shift from criticizing the system to defending it. Sarah Buhl, a psychologist at Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany, led a research team to test this idea in a real-world setting.
Buhl and her colleagues focused on New Zealand. Over the past decade and a half, the country has achieved high levels of gender equality, including reaching gender parity in its parliament. The researchers wanted to see if this measurable increase in societal fairness altered how women viewed the political establishment.
The researchers analyzed fourteen years of survey responses from 43,924 women who participated in the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study between 2009 and 2023. The surveys asked participants to rate their agreement with statements supporting group-based hierarchies, which measured their level of egalitarianism. The surveys also asked participants how much they believed the national political system operated as it should, providing a measure of system justification.
To track objective changes in societal fairness, the team paired these survey responses with the country’s annual score on the Global Gender Gap Index. This index measures national parity in areas like economic participation, political empowerment, health, and education. By tracking the same women over time using a statistical technique called multi-level modeling, the researchers could observe how individual beliefs shifted in tandem with national progress.
In the earlier years of the study, when gender inequality was relatively high, the results aligned with traditional psychological expectations. Women who held anti-egalitarian views strongly defended the political system. Meanwhile, women with egalitarian views were highly critical of the establishment.
As New Zealand became more gender-equal over the fourteen-year period, this dynamic shifted. The overall population became more egalitarian. At the same time, the most egalitarian women grew less critical of the political status quo.
Because the establishment was increasingly reflecting their own values, these women began to legitimize the socio-political system. The research team used specialized statistical tests to ensure the timeline of these changes made sense. They confirmed that shifts in national gender equality preceded the changes in how women justified the system.
The research team also broke the data down by demographic groups to see if the benefits of gender equality were felt universally. They compared the responses of women from majoritized backgrounds, defined in this study as white and heterosexual, to women from minoritized backgrounds. Minoritized groups included ethnic minorities and non-heterosexual women.
The shift in system defense was driven entirely by majoritized women. As national gender equality rose, egalitarian women from majority groups became more supportive of the political system. They experienced the direct benefits of these societal changes and adjusted their political views accordingly.
For minoritized women, the rise in national gender equality did not change the relationship between their personal beliefs and their view of the establishment. Egalitarian women from minority groups remained highly critical of the political system regardless of the country’s rising score on the Global Gender Gap Index. These groups often continue to face compounded disadvantages that broad gender parity metrics do not fully capture.
When the researchers analyzed data from male participants in the same national survey, they found a different pattern. The rise in national gender equality did not lead egalitarian men to increasingly defend the system. The research team suspects this is because rising gender equality creates a psychological conflict for men, who traditionally benefit from patriarchal structures. Because men’s group interests do not directly align with dismantling male advantages, their responses to an increasingly equal status quo were more ambiguous.
Because New Zealand is already one of the most socially progressive countries in the world, the actual variation in gender equality over the study period was relatively small. The changes in survey responses, while mathematically robust, were similarly subtle. Testing these ideas in countries undergoing more dramatic social transformations could reveal even stronger shifts in public attitudes.
The Global Gender Gap Index also functions as a broad proxy for fairness. It heavily weighs representation in corporate leadership and national politics, which might not reflect the daily realities of domestic life or unpaid labor. Future studies could explore how the division of household chores or local community dynamics influences a person’s willingness to defend the political system.
Because the data relies on observing natural changes over time, it cannot prove that the rising equality scores directly caused the psychological shifts. Experimental research where participants are exposed to different levels of social progress could help confirm the exact mechanisms at play. Understanding these changes will help psychologists map how human behavior adapts to an increasingly equal world.
The study, “Rebels With(Out) a Cause: The Influence of Gender Inequality on the Relationship Between Egalitarianism and System Justification,” was authored by Sarah Buhl, Danny Osborne, Chris G. Sibley, and Frank Asbrock.

📉 Ah, the age-old question: should society bother "investing" in mothers? 🤔 Spoiler alert: the study suggests it might actually help them work and earn money. Because who would have thought that supporting half the population could lead to positive outcomes? 🙄

A time to learn some history, view some new user generated #artsandcrafts , and potentially connect with others.
There is strength, #art , #culture, and joy in the #community .
Remembering that Pride started as a protest for the right to exist openly and safely.
I hope your timeline is full of supportive community and joy. 🏳️🌈✨ #Pride

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”
Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

When Statues Become Fathers: Creative Street Art on Equal Parenting
What happens when male statues become fathers for a day? A creative campaign in Sweden is challenging traditional norms about parenting roles.
Imagine a bronze statue of a stoic leader, now wearing a bright pink baby sling with a doll nestled inside. On International Men’s Day, November 19th, male statues across Sweden were adorned with baby slings and carriers as part of a unique campaign to spotlight unequal parenting responsibilities.
Traditionally representing power, labor, or other masculine attributes, these statues were reimagined to symbolize fathers as caregivers. The campaign, organized by the think tank Arena Idé, is part of the #kvantitetstidspappan initiative, aimed at encouraging fathers to spend more time with their children and urging employers to play a larger role in enabling this.
Despite Sweden’s globally recognized parental leave policies, significant disparities remain. Swedish fathers take only 30.9% of parental leave days and 38% of sick leave to care for children.
A recent Novus survey, conducted in collaboration with Make Equal, further reveals that expectations around parental leave remain unequal in Swedish workplaces. Through this campaign, Arena Idé hopes to challenge these norms and has proposed an employer bonus for workplaces that encourage an equal division of parental leave.
The statues involved in the campaign—such as Standing Man in Umeå, Det svenska tungsinnet in Malmö, and Hjalmar Branting in Stockholm—were decorated with dolls in baby slings and carriers.
This created a contrast between the statues’ traditional symbolism and the modern role of engaged fathers.
The initiative draws inspiration from the UK-based group The Dad Shift, which earlier this year launched a similar campaign highlighting gaps in Britain’s parental leave policies.
Vilgot Österlund, a statistician at Arena Idé, emphasizes the importance of changing workplace norms: “When discussing gender equality in workplaces, the focus is often on women and the negative consequences of inequality for them. But here, we see that men are also losing out on something invaluable—time with their children. Through the statue campaign, the new statistics, and our proposals, we hope to make this clearer!”
Read more about the campaign and the proposed reforms in the original article by Arena Idé: Link to the original article.

Group says Michigan is at the cusp of achieving gender parity with women in elected office • Michigan Advance
Michigan ranks third in the country for the state with the best gender parity for women in elected office, according to rankings from RepresentWomen, a non-profit organization tracking gender representation in elected office in the U.S.
With a 49.5 out of 100 score, Michigan is at the edge of gender parity. The two states that outrank Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine, have achieved gender parity with Wisconsin scoring 51.8 and Maine scoring 54.1 this year.
Michigan has never strayed far from the top ten states since RepresentWomen began compiling its annual Gender Parity Index in 2013, but since the 2018 election when women were elected to lead all three of Michigan’s statewide executive offices, the state has been inching towards parity.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s second ever female governor, often speaks on workforce and educational opportunities for women in the state, embracing a “wear pink, get sh*t done” mentality to femininity in politics.
Last summer when the “Barbie” movie was coming out, Whitmer’s office came out with an unofficial “Governor Barbie” calling for empowerment for children and women to seek out their dream jobs and roles.
“Together, we work to create spaces and structures that empower women to show up as they are and allow them [to] lead from the front,” Whitmer posted on “X” in July of 2023.

Had the gender pay gap in the US continued to close by 1980s’ one percentage point per year, it would have reached parity by 2017. Instead, the introduction of family leave policies during the 1990s—furthering gender roles according to which women take on more of the unpaid domestic labor—lowered the one percentage point per year to 0.03. A case of unequal gender roles derailing the work with unequal pay. #FeministFriday #GenderPayGap #GenderRoles #GenderEquality #MotherhoodPenalty #UnpaidLabor

Everyone Owes a #Debt to #Laborers
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/jim-goodman/107559/everyone-owes-a-debt-to-laborersThis #LaborDay, a day set aside as a national holiday in 1894, we commemorate the #laborunion movement, the demand for an eight-hour work day, better working conditions, #fairwages, and an end to #childlabor.
#Genderequality, #racialequality, fair #farmprices, and #farmworker rights are separate issues but all related to the struggle of the #unions for a fair wage and decent working conditions. -

Going for sustainable development
People should know they all should join hands to make sure that we can survive in nice surroundings where nobody is afraid to seek to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.
People should recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, should act in collaborative partnership, willing to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
At the moment we still lack the global political will to take the kind of transformational measures necessary to make the ongoing polluting and people misusing trends, be reversed before it is too late.
This month in many countries, all over the European Union, there shall be an opportunity to bring out a vote on the deepening climate crisis, but also on the human rights elements, which both should be at the top of our concerns.
Climate change is moving much faster than our efforts to address it, and the last four years were the hottest on record. We can not keep ignoring the many natural disasters which have wreaked havoc in nearly every region of the globe and which are demanding many lives (of humans but also of animals).
Last year, more than 35 million people were affected by floods, and when looking at Africa, we can not ignore the drought which is progressing, destroying livelihoods and forcing more and more people to move.
The average number of people exposed to heatwaves has increased by some 125 million since the beginning of the century, with deadly consequences.
The combination of extreme heat and air pollution is proving increasingly dangerous.The climate crisis threatens decades of progress and jeopardizes all our plans for an inclusive and sustainable development.
And the clock is ticking. Science has clearly told us that we have only 12 years for this transformation, if we want to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
“No country or community is immune. And, as we know, the poor and vulnerable are the first to suffer, and the worst hit,”
said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, at the Leader’s Roundtable on Promoting Green and Sustainable Development to Implement the 2030 Agenda in Beijing, China, warning that the climate crisis threatens decades of progress and jeopardizes all our plans for inclusive, sustainable development.
UN China/Zhao YunUN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres attends the Leader’s Roundtable on Promoting Green and Sustainable Development to Implement the 2030 Agenda in Beijing, China
To put it simply, we need green development. We need sustainable development. And we need it now.
We must not see it to dark or not as impossible, as a race to head off a climate catastrophe, with global action rooted in solutions that are sustainable and aligned with the landmark Paris accord and the UN 2030 Agenda it should be possible to ensure a safe and secure planet for all.
All those who can vote should stimulate their own country to have the greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 45 per cent over the next decade and to get to net zero emissions globally by 2050 through strong mitigation and adaptation measures.
We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.
As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announced in Paris demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
All those who can vote should bring out their vote to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
All of us have to bear the responsibility and should be determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.
Please do look for those political parties who have people or representatives who live like they preach. Look for the parties where the people who want to present your voice are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature.
As concerned citizens we should be determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
