Side note: just outside my office stands this quote from The Second Shift by Arlie Hochschild – a fitting reminder as I finalise an article on the gendered impact of parenthood on politicians' political work. 🔥

The Vatican under Pope Francis was a driving force behind the movement against “gender ideology”. It has not only massively empowered anti-LGBTQ+ hostility but provided an essential building block for current gloabl far-right authoritarianism. It‘s infuriating to see the undifferentiated praise.
