#57 Lisa Selin Davis: The Gender Movement Is A “Giant Mess”

#57 Lisa Selin Davis: The Gender Movement Is A “Giant Mess”
October 8, 2021 Part three of Gender Nuance, a three-part series for the week of October 4, 2021 In the third and final part of the podcast’s weeklong “Gender Nuance” series, Meghan talks with journalist Lisa Selin Davis about the cultural and political forces that have factored into the current gender movement and why the media has failed to cover the whole story. This interview is the October 8, 2021 edition of The Unspeakable. The author of a book about the evolution of gender stereotypes and herself the mother of a gender nonconforming child, Lisa explains how the movement was galvanized by shifts in journalistic norms during the Trump administration and how institutions like schools, the nonprofit sector and the medical establishment got caught up in a worldview and treatment protocol that’s backed up by very little reliable data. She traces some of the history of gender nonconformity and explains what the concept of a “third gender” means in indigenous, nonwestern populations in places like India and Samoa. Mostly, Lisa talks about what she’s learned as a journalist covering gender issues in recent years and why it’s so difficult to publish anything that deviates from the accepted narrative. Ultimately, she says, we have to accept that talking honestly about the subject entails dealing with "a giant mess” and that “we have to get comfortable with the fact that are some things we simply can’t know.” ——— 🔔 Did you like this episode?

Gender bias in moral typecasting by Dr Tania Reynolds, Kinsey Institute & Indiana University, US

Gender bias in moral typecasting by Dr Tania Reynolds, Kinsey Institute & Indiana University, US
Gender bias in moral typecasting Dr Tania Reynolds, Kinsey Institute & Dept of Gender Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, US. Moral typecasting theory posits that when humans evaluate moral interactions, they instinctively typecast the involved individuals into two roles: harm-inflicting perpetrator or suffering victim. We predicted that the application of this cognitive schema is biased by gender, such that women are more easily typecast as victims and men as perpetrators. This was tested with 5 studies (N=1,538).

Gamma Bias: Cognitive Distortion in Thinking About Gender. By Martin Seager & John Barry, at UCL.

Gamma Bias: Cognitive Distortion in Thinking About Gender. By Martin Seager & John Barry, at UCL.
Cognitive distortions occur when we process information in ways that result in verifiable errors in thinking. In the study of gender, two biases have been identified: alpha bias, where researchers emphasise gender differences, and beta bias where researchers minimise gender differences. In this presentation we postulate a newly identified cognitive distortion in relation to gender, gamma bias, which simultaneously magnifies some aspects of gender and minimises others. This presentation also showcases an animation, created with the help of Jordan Holbrook, which visually demonstrates gamma bias and the gender distortion matrix. See also The new book chapter by Seager & Barry: 'Cognitive Distortion in Thinking About Gender Issues: Gamma Bias and the Gender Distortion Matrix' in The Palgrave Handbook of Male Psychology and Mental Health (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9783030043834 DOI 10.1007/978-3-030-04384-1 ISBN 978-3-030-04383-4 Blog on this topic: https://malepsychology.org.uk/2018/12/04/why-are-there-so-many-disagreements-about-gender-issues-its-usually-down-to-gamma-bias/

Can You Talk To A Feminist About Masculinity? - Christine Emba | Modern Wisdom 664

Can You Talk To A Feminist About Masculinity? - Christine Emba | Modern Wisdom 664
Christine Emba is an opinion columnist at The Washington Post, journalist, social commentator, and an author. Christine wrote one of the best articles on modern masculinity that I've ever read and it absolutely broke the internet. But it begs the question of why it's come down to a woman to raise the topic of men's issues. Expect to learn why making men and women equal is good but overreaching into making men and women the same is terrible, whether Christine thinks it is harder to be a man in 2023, the biggest issues that boys & men are facing, why it is women who are dominating the narrative on what it means to be masculine, why the only "non-toxic" suggestions for masculinity just look a lot like traditional femininity and much more...
