In Quebec, introducing daddy quotas for parental leaves did not affect gender wage gap or social norms of those affected but share of fathers taking leave increased from 20% to 60% Maybe social norms change slowly, so we do not observe large effect immediately in data wol.iza.org/opinions/pat...

Paternity leave isn’t closing the gender pay gap

Was kann man jetzt tun? Mein Rat: In eine Partei eintreten. Sich engagieren, wenn es geht. Ändert sich dann morgen die Welt? Nein. Aber man ist mit Leuten zusammen, die ähnliche Sorgen/Ziele haben wie man selbst. Und das nicht nur auf einer Demo, sondern in Strukturen, in denen man gestalten kann.

Was gerade in den USA passiert ist eine Blaupause für andere Länder. Sobald die AfD auch nur einen Funken echter Regierungsmacht in den Händen hält, wird alles genauso schnell gehen. Niemand soll sich der naiven Illusion hingeben, es würde schon nicht so schlimm werden.

Alice Weidel nennt Universitäten "queer-woke Kaderschmieden" und sagt: "Wir schließen alle Gender Studies und schmeißen alle diese Professoren raus". Die Naturwissenschafts-Community muss sich hier klar auf die Seite der Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaft stellen. Das ist ein Angriff auf alle. (Thread)
