Political culture and electoral rules may matter, too: German & Spanish politicians in our sample receive less incivility than their UK and US counterparts. And the incivility in less personalised systems - especially in Germany - is relatively 'polite' compared to the other countries in our sample.

We also find that women receive more identity-based attacks than male politicians.

When we distinguish between parties with different ideological positions, the data do not support our expectation that centrist parties should be more responsive. Traditionalist parties seem to nominate fewer women when attitudes become more progressive. Yet, the placebo tests point to problems.

For countries with some form of candidate voting (flexible lists, fully open lists, or Single Transferable Vote), the effects are positive (11 percentage points) but estimated with a large degree of uncertainty. So, hard to say that change in public attitudes towards gender equality changes much.
