On the latter, it was an education (for me) to see 350+ 18 year olds who had just said they were post-gender come up with—down to the last individual—gender essentialist explanations (eg, women are better at writing, women take more humanities courses, etc). www.erinhengel.com/research/pub...

And then I showed them their own peer comments thanking me for having a “real IR professor“ guest lecture for me, that it was a relief to have that (male) expertise.

So I stopped teaching the theory—just empirical variation and asking them to hypothesize: why did civilian drone strike casualties go up/down in a conflict theatre? Why do female-name authors face 9 months more and more rounds of peer review, but higher output quality than male-name authors? Etc

when I taught intro IR a few years ago, got pushback from 18/19 yo’s during “gender and IR” week bc they said it was cringe because “their generation was past these issues“ and it was outdated bc of social progress wrt gender fluidity norms.

Some Europeans have still not caught up to a world profoundly shaped by Chinas industrial policy. A lot of hard pushback on targeted buy-European because it would reduce European competitiveness and product quality. Reality, created by China, would disagree. 1/

Please. This is absurd. Europe can certainly deter Russia and defend itself if its focused and determined. Perpetuating a sense of European helplessness may help Rutte bureaucratically but its 1. wrong 2. prevents action. 3. willfully blind: the US ain't coming to defend Europe.

One additional point on politics: Without the very strong push especially from Berlin for the use of the Russian assets, Orbán would most likely not have agreed to this lesser-evil solution from his (and Putin‘s) perspective. The threat was real, and he caved.

There’s gonna be a lot of hyperbolic talk about EU failing to meet the moment, yada, yada. But a 90 BILLION EU loan is a huge step for the EU and Ukraine! Europe just borrowed for war! EU crossed the joint borrowing rubicon. And they can still do the reparations loan in 2026.
