Update. "We conduct a comprehensive comparison between peer-review scores and citation-based metrics across various scientific fields [in Italy]…While both evaluation methods exhibit sex bias, peer review systematically penalizes women more severely than citation-based metrics."

Update. A letter to the editor about a study I posted to this thread 11/23/25: "The suggestion that [the lower #retraction rate for women] is because male researchers undergo more scrutiny, propose bolder ideas and lead larger and more dynamic teams than do female researchers implies that male scientists are better at science. As female scientists, our lived experience points to alternative explanations: elevated rigour and scientific integrity by female scientists or more critical peer review of female-led manuscripts."

This morning I have been thinking about my gender expression, as you do. And I have realised that nothing about me has changed. I have never been a girly girl. I was a tomboy growing up, and I didn't grow out of it.
And for a long while, that was fine. The only person who had a problem with that was my mother. And her constant attempts to make me "make something of myself" made me feel shit, but that's just her. No one else seemed to mind. 1/2 #gender

"The rationalization of the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis is that she was using her vehicle to try to kill ICE agents, a claim belied by available video footage and by analysis from Bellingcat and others.
But there's probably a reason that, according to analysis from the New York Times, all nine of the ICE agents who fired their weapons from September through Wednesday were firing at people in vehicles:"

As Brian Bennett noted over ten years ago, a report by law enforcement experts found that "Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths."

"Whether in the case of George Floyd, who was murdered not far from where Ms. Good was killed, or Philando Castile, who was also killed in the Twin Cities while sitting in his car with his fiancée’ and her four-year-old daughter, or Samuel DuBose, who was killed in his car in Cincinnati after being approached by an officer and then shot at point blank range as he attempted to drive away."

As Sherrilyn Ifill notes, all of the lies we're now hearing from the Trump regime about how Renee Good earned her death by not obeying authority and threatening the ICE man who killed her (none of this happened) —"All of these arguments were deployed routinely in one form or another in the flurry of high-profile cases caught on video of police officers killing unarmed Black men from 2013-2020."

"those were the only weapons — 'weapons' — protesters had. If the use of deadly force requires an imminent threat, the threat requires a rationalization."

"The case is yet another illustration of a point that is crucial to understand about the rise of fascism in this country: misogyny is not an incidental feature or an optional add-on or comorbidity. Misogyny is the beating heart of a fascism that violently safeguards and shores up white male authority—by punishing any social subordinate who questions the designated authority figures."

"It’s like they are spending tax dollars to hire a private army to terrorize, assault, kneel on, spray 'chemical irritants' on, arrest, and yes, kill the citizens of this country, including Renee Nicole Good."
