Do men see gender parity in representation as detrimental to their interests? What about when women’s representation exceeds parity? And how do such shifts affect men’s fairness perceptions? I address these questions in my article, now published in PRQ. 1/9

New @ipz.bsky.social PhD!

Let's see whether the tariffs are actually implemented as threatened, but this graph shows just how much the trade regime has changed since January.
Modeling Trump's tariff announcements from this morning (raising tariffs on the EU to 50% and putting a 25% tariff on smartphones), they'd hit more than $370B in imports and raise overall US tariff rates by 4 percentage points to nearly 9x pre-Trump levels
