93% to 95% of women who are sexually harassed at work do not file a formal complaint.
This statistic speaks volumes about the workplace where these women work: not only are they harassed, but they also face an environment that silences them.

We often assume we recognize expertise when we see it, but gender influences whose knowledge we trust. In this essay I discuss the subtle ways women’s voices are dismissed and how small acts of interruption can leave a lasting mark.
Our survival as a species hasn't hinged on physical strength but on adaptable brains that get us out of tricky situations and on social cooperation that makes us look out for each other.
Cat Bohannon’s "Eve" walks us through the history of our long evolution, showing how sexism could have emerged as a trade-off that we no longer need.

Update. "In male-dominated fields, women have significantly broader research interests than men, while this gap diminishes and reverses in more gender-balanced fields. Although broader publication trajectories help women increase publication output, this strategy carries steeper citation penalties for women than for men. The results suggest that academic fields act as sites of inequality production, channeling women toward research patterns that boost immediate productivity while undermining long-term scholarly influence."

Notice how the main protagonist is missing from "end violence against women"? Who is committing the violence? And why is he left out?
Unless we can have an honest conversation about men's violence and how we can raise boys to associate masculinity with behaviours other than anger, rage, and violence, change will be difficult.
Men's violence harms women, men and kids. The majority of those who are violent are men, which is the real problem that needs to be tackled.

Canada, take note and be inspired.
Personally, I am also looking to move away from Gmail and from web servers linked to the US. If anyone has suggestions, I am a happy taker 🙂
Behind the gender wage gap in Canada is the low pay in care professions.
Women are more involved in care professions than men: about 19% of employed Canadians work in paid care roles, and women make up roughly three-quarters of this workforce.
As of 2024, the average hourly wage for care jobs is $25.19, which is lower than the $40.80 for other types of work.
In my latest Substack, I discuss how women carefully navigate their speech and what we can do about this.
