final two subscales. The first is three items covering the myth that men rape because they just really want to have sex or sometimes get carried away (🤮), the second subscale is three questions covering the idea that if both people aren't drunk it doesn't count, or a man can't be held accountable if he's drunk. This is followed by two screengrabs. In the first Adam Carolla says "that's just standard drunken blue collar dude behavior" and in the second Nick Fuentes says "sometimes people get drunk and want to have sex"

5 common myths that women lie about rape, including "rape accusations are used as a way of getting back at guys" and "girls who claim they were raped have emotional problems" followed by a quote of Marjorie Taylor Greene saying "if you had consensual sex with him years ago, don't turn it into rape for politics"

4 survey questions, including "if a girl doesn't say no she can't claim rape" followed by a screengrab in which Nick Fuentes is quoted as saying "it's not rape just because you say stop, stop, stop I don't feel like it"

4 survey questions discussing the myth that a woman "asked for it" followed by screengrab which contains the quote "it's not really rape because we sleep in the same bed"

histogram with 6 bars showing NIH biomedical research grant funding vs 5 other largest funders in 2022. NIH is at the top with a very long orange bar labeled 32,828 (US millions). The next longest bar is the Wellcome Trust, labeled 1,279. The other 5 bars together are still 8 times shorter than the NIH bar. EU is at the bottom with the shortest bar.

forest plot of odds ratios for men and women. Y axis is the impact of parenthood on tenure at universities. X axis is 4 domains: baseline, whether partner has a phd, whether there is paternity leave, and whether a grandmother is around to help. Women are hosed across all 4 categories. Men are MORE likely to get tenure and women are LESS likely when: their partner doesn't have a phd, the dad doesn't have paternity leave, and there is a grandparent around to help.

Looking back, there are things I should have done to safeguard my data. I should, as OpenAI suggests, have exported important conversations regularly, kept systematic offline backups and avoided experimenting with data settings without knowing the consequences. These precautions might have reduced the scale of the loss.

The letter asks the university to declare “to the UCLA community” that it does not recognize transgender people’s gender identities. The government also wants the university to make clear through the statement and on its website that it does not welcome transgender people on sports teams, in bathrooms, or single-sex dorm rooms that match their gender identities.

“Every last one is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery! Who am I, or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your CHILD should put in their body? I don’t have that right. Your body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and God,” Ladapo said.

Investigators must employ specific and measurable concepts in health disparities research. For example, redlining and housing discrimination are clearly defined practices that can measurably impact the health of minority populations. The NIH will support scientifically rigorous research programs that explore such causes as one reason among many for poor health outcomes for Americans.

However, broad or subjective claims—such as attributing worse health outcomes in a particular population to poorly measured factors like systemic racism—should not be presented as established background facts without clearly defining measurable variables that are part of the research question.

Because women do the bulk of unpaid care work, female caregivers are more likely to lose out on paid work when a sick child must stay home.9 In addition, young children cannot completely isolate and require a caregiver, which is likely why women have a higher risk of infection from a child index case,10 resulting in loss of paid work both to provide unpaid care and from their own subsequent illness.11 Missed work and burnout from COVID-19‒related care work has driven systematic professional setbacks for female caregivers across multiple fields.These are especially magnified for women of color, women with less formal education, and people who have a disability.

A structural equation model diagram. On the left is social support modeled as a latent construct. On the right is a measurement model of depression. The model suggests that harassment, social support, and previous experience of sexual violence are all correlated with depression. It also suggests that social support mediates the relationship between sexual assault and depression, as well as the relationship between harassment and depression.
