The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Forthcoming in the AER: "Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation" by Gordon B. Dahl and Matthew Knepper. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation
(Forthcoming Article) - Why is workplace sexual harassment chronically underreported? We hypothesize
that employers coerce victims into silence through the threat of a retaliatory firing.
To test this, we estimate how two external shocks which reduce workers’ outside
options—unemployment rate increases and sharp cuts to unemployment insurance
benefits—affect the selectivity of sexual harassment charges filed with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. We find that both shocks increase selectivity,
which implies an increase in underreporting. Bolstering these findings, anonymous
Google searches for “sexual harassment in the workplace” (total prevalence)
spike relative to charges filed (reported prevalence) during the Great Recession.

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

Putin is an authoritarian who won his last election with 87% of the vote and murdered his main political rival.
Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.
Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Exactly this. What is bringing global and generational shame on the United States at this moment is not the actions of one person, but the limp abdication by countless powerful Americans walking away from their duty to stop it.
From what I'm seeing in Europe, the real game changer here isn't really the Trump admin itself, but how quickly American elites - political, corporate, institutional and academic - just failed to respond and resist in any meaningful way.
