Trump posted on Truth Social this morning claiming that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Seriously? ICE officers are upset they can’t use restrooms or grab brunch.

If you're referred to as an "assistant" but have professional responsibility, then the title doesn't match your role. This is precisely where discrimination becomes apparent. #leibnizatb

In the scientific field: Professional expertise is recognized as a gender-neutral primary identity.

In the technical field: Women's professional expertise is often linguistically relegated to an assistant role – while men retain their professional identity. #leibnizatb

Two formally comparable groups of employees (scientific and technical) are treated differently linguistically and culturally – in such a way that women are devalued in the technical field, while equal treatment has long been a matter of course in the scientific field. #leibnizatb

To call women in technical professions "assistance" builds on old role models. It weakens women's professional recognition. #leibnizatb

Historically and socially, women have been more often visible in traditional assistant and secretarial roles. So, when a woman in a technical position is labeled "assistant," it is a regression to old role assignments—regardless of her actual work. #leibnizatb

Devaluation of female competence is when women are called "assistance" while men with the same role are referred to as "technicians," "engineers," or "specialists". #leibnizatb

In science, men and women are consistently referred to as scientists, regardless of their title. The fact that women in the technical field are classified as "assistance" despite having a university degree demonstrates that gender roles, not objective rules, apply #leibnizatb.

Mein Interview mit Dunja Hayali beim heute journal vom Extremwetterkongress in Hamburg.
Steuern wir auf 3 Grad globale Erwärmung zu (das wären 5-6 Grad in Deutschland)? Und was würde das bedeuten? Haben die Klimaforscher klar genug kommuniziert?

Ah yes, the classic management style — ‘Don’t you dare talk about safety concerns… but also don’t you dare be unsafe. #leibnizatb

Using only binary salutations overlooks non-binary identities. For an equality officer, this indicates either a gap in awareness or insufficient training around inclusive language. #leibnizatb

Playing favorites is a common control tactic in hierarchical systems. #leibnizatb

When the same people hold important positions and functions, it creates the impression of a "closed society." This contradicts true equality and diversity, which depends on diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and beliefs. #leibnizatb

"Uns hat die Wehrpflicht auch nicht geschadet", sagen Vertreter der Generation, die noch ein Eigenheim für 5 Mark kaufen konnten, dann den Sozialstaat entkernt haben und jetzt den Jugendlichen – ohne sie jemals über ihre Zukunft mitbestimmen zu lassen – einen kochendheißen Planeten übergeben.
