In 'manifestos collected from 1966 to 2025, gender identity-driven violence appeared in nearly 40 per cent of them' #misogyny

I analyzed more than 100 extremist manifestos: Misogyny was the common thread

Gender identity–driven violence is the most common ideological theme across ‘lone-actor’ extremist manifestos in a recent study.

what we think about the role of science in @men4dem.bsky.social research, in a nutshell
@veralomazzi.bsky.social

men4dem.bsky.social @men4dem.bsky.social · May 28

(Q) Can science change the world?

We cannot change the world without understanding how it works - hence, science is key.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

The current administration is straight up censoring the scientific record by requiring authors to alter an already-accepted research paper because it uses banned words such as "gender" and "equitable" and presents data broken down by sexual orientation.

Center for Critical Public Health @criticalpublichealth.org · Mar 21

We were asked to change language and delete data from a paper that already been through peer review successfully - "in order to comply with the Executive Order."

This is from the official journal of the US Surgeon General and the US Public Health Service.

criticalpublichealth.org/blog/2025/03...

Resisting Attacks on Science - Center for Critical Public Health

So it happened. We have officially withdrawn a paper accepted for publication in a scientific journal because of editorial requests to remove language deemed out of compliance with executive orders.
