Unexpected achievement: my paper published in the @poqjournal.bsky.social got almost 10k upvotes on Reddit. With the obvious caveat: it's a literature review of associations between attitudes (sexism and political preferences), so we should be careful with saying that one "shapes" another.

Today marks one year since I submitted a paper to a good journal in political science. And I’m still waiting for the first reviews. When we write to the editors, they reluctantly promise to remind the reviewers. Any recommendations? What should I do?

Men in European Union’s gender equality policies
Michał Gulczyński

Gender mainstreaming is designed to address the social roles of both women and men. How are men included in gender equality policies? I conduct an analysis of all gender equality strategies and annual reports of the European Commission – a global leader in this field – since 1982. I find that, since the mid 1990s, the Commission has included men as contributors to gender equality (‘problem solvers’). Yet, men’s disadvantages in education and health were only addressed between 2006 and 2015. Later on, men’s problems have been ignored, as they have been increasingly portrayed as a uniformly privileged group, undeserving of European policies. This withdrawal from addressing men’s problems exposes the tension between legitimising policies for one group (women) and addressing the needs of a complementary group (men). A novel approach to gender equality policies should revive the global debate on their meaning and implications. My findings also raise new questions about the power of the European Commission to construct policy target populations.

My short debut in the Brussels bubble media. I comment on the last edition of the Gender Equality Index. Don't believe we are "50 years from equality"; the increase of the index is driven mostly by women's increasing participation in power. There is little or negative change in other areas.

I don't know the business agreements between journals and publishers, and we surely agree that the current system is bad. In an ideal world some of the huge publishers' profits should cover this. Some journals in econ have submission fees.
