JA! '(...) det forskningspolitiska målet att svensk forskning ska hålla ”internationell världsklass”. Naturligtvis ska vi göra så bra forskning vi kan, men varför skulle det vara dåligt för Sverige att det går bättre för Belgien, eller att Norge publicerar fler artiklar per akademisk capita?"

It’s a facile point but “gender ideology” is such a capacious and imprecise term—never actually defined, so it can mean anything. And it’s used almost exclusively by people advancing their own, highly specific and prescriptive ideology of gender.

✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board
