I welcome in particular projects on gender and politics—for example, gender backlash, changing gender norms in politics, the gendered division of labour or politicians’ experiences of harassment. Other questions and approaches are very welcome, too --> see shorturl.at/SDHHm

💡 Understanding this bias helps explain broader challenges women face in political leadership roles and may inform reforms in parliamentary practices.

Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
⚖️ Tighter scrutiny can create unequal working conditions: women ministers have to respond to more questions and justify decisions more often, thus, having less time for policy-making.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
🔍 Based on interviews with 32 MPs we explore why this pattern exists: MPs implicit assumptions that women are less capable or trustworthy are drivers of increased scrutiny.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
📈 The findings are clear: women ministers receive more oversight (written and oral questions) than male ministers across similar contexts.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
📊 Using data from five European democracies since 1990, we analyze how often MPs ask written and oral questions to ministers.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
🤔 The core argument: parliamentarians ask more questions to women than men ministers because of stereotypes about competence and trustworthiness i.e., bias, not performance.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
📚 Our findings in short: Oversight is not neutral. Gender shapes how ministers are treated in parliament-even in established democracies.

Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
🚨 So excited about our new paper in @BJPS: h7.cl/1iliZ! We (Corinna, Lena, Camila, Sarah) analyze how gender shapes the extent to which ministers are scrutinized by parliament.

(4) The nature of the format here implies that things are simplified. Yet, analyses that go further exist. Look for example at works from M. Jankowski, J. Rehmert (on Germany) and S. Franceschet, ML Krook and M. Lühiste (more internationally)
120
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
(3) In Germany, only two states tried to introduce mandated quotas for list placements. Internationally, this is a well-established approach &well-researched solution. Instead of ignoring this prominent solution to the issue, I’d argue for taking a careful look to find solutions for the German case.
010
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
(2) Certainly, actors act, not institutions. Yet, institutions have the power to create incentives for actors/reinforce behavioral patterns. Scholarly work shows that institutions are not gender neutral but set behavioral incentives that frequently benefit men. The new electoral law is an example.
010
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
(1) This is a very technical take. This thought implies that % of women in the Bundestag grew beyond actual levels of gender equality in the political landscape (as an abstract concept). But does this mean we should not debate that we are now moving even further away from the aim of gender parity?
020
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
9/ The result? The new electoral law reinforces gender biases and rolls back progress on equal representation. Academic research points to legislated gender quotas as an efficient solution.
141
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
8/ 📉 Beyond the electoral system itself, the political shift to the right exacerbates the problem. CDU, CSU, and AfD—parties with relatively few women candidates—are expected to gain seats, while parties with higher women representation will lose.
140
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
7/ This is partly because women are often nominated in weaker districts. On average, female candidates win 0.5 percentage points fewer votes than men—small but decisive under the new rules.
130
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
6/ Women are more likely to lose direct seats Under the new system, direct seats are lost if a party wins more districts than their second vote share allows. Women tend to win with narrower margins, making them more vulnerable.
140
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
5/ Other parties show the same trend: 🔻 Left Party: -15 percentage points 🔻 Greens: -11 pp 🔻 CDU: -6 pp 🔻 FDP: -5 pp 🔻 AfD: -3 pp
120
Corinna Kroeber @corinnakroeber.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
4/ Men dominate top list positions Fewer list seats lead to tougher competition for top spots. Women are systematically pushed out. In the SPD, 58% of list-elected MPs were women in 2021. In 2025, we see only 36% women on list positions that are promising in the light of the new electoral system.
