- 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.

- Gender attitudes are likely more important than gender alone. The literature confirms that hostile and modern sexism played a role in Trump’s election and probably the success of other radical/far-right parties. 3/7

- Over the last decades, tertiary education has expanded rapidly - especially for women. They have overtaken men in all EU countries and the gaps keep growing in many of them. In four countries, the gender gap is larger than 20 percentage points. Are we ready for any egalitarian policies?
- This headline is incredibly satisfying: "The Ministry of Education wants to improve boys' education. It will appoint a representative." After four years of my academic and public activity, the Ministry of Education now acknowledges a problem they denied as recently as 16 months ago.

- 90% of unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in the EU are boys.
- People are more likely to accept gender inequality if it is men who are worse off. A new paper with experiments on 35k Americans shows that when men are worse off people are: - more likely to attribute the inequality to a difference in effort - less likely to support pro-equality policies.

- Reposted by Michał GulczyńskiMuch of the gender gap in life expectancy isn’t natural. Men shouldn’t have to die 6, 8, or 10 years earlier than women. In many countries, the gender gap is only 3-4 years. We could have more grandpas and fewer widows if we start taking men’s health seriously.
- Why has the right-wing candidate won the presidential election in Poland? "The ruling, progressive-liberal side has let go of young men and this is something that cost the victory," - Dr Michał Kotnarowski said last night in the main liberal TVN24. 1/6🧵
- Turnout among women was 75.1% and among men 70.2%. If Trzaskowski (Civic Platform, EPP) had convinced/mobilised just over half of the 5% of men who did not vote, he would have won. 2/6
- Trzaskowski lost by 370k votes. About 680k were up for grabs. These were men who didn’t want to vote for Nawrocki, but also didn’t vote for Trzaskowski. 3/6

View full threadThe government talks a lot about gender equality. But it has not addressed any men's disadvantage and created new ones. It has not mobilized enough women and is not credible to men. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." 6/6
