Seksisme en politiek.
I identified 97 studies (including 84 after Trump was elected in 2016 and 42 on that election alone).
Most of the papers have been dedicated to the US. I hope the questions included in the recent @ess-survey.bsky.social will lead to many new studies on Europe.

As one reviewer said: “The appendix is a treasure trove of information.”
It has two parts:
1) An Excel table with a detailed description of all studies: concepts and survey items, research questions, results. I tried to make this database easy to search through and filter.

So useful!
Many studies attribute the success of right-wing parties to sexism.

What is sexism? How is it measured? How does it influence elections?

My systematic review of studies on sexism as a predictor of political behavior and attitudes is about to appear in @poqjournal.bsky.social!

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.

Some questions never get old in the social sciences.
You can use very old ideas, adapt them to new contexts, and make a huge contribution.

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.

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.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly.

Yesterday EPSS was founded, today we answer members’ questions.

A 🧵

1. Who formed EPSS?

EPSS was founded by a supermajority vote of the EPSA Council, made up of 3 EPSAL shareholders & 9 elected, appointed, or ex officio members.
