Misogyny as Hierarchy Reinforcement
Research investigating the practices that reinforce women’s lower status and power is growing rapidly. Yet, examinations of these practices are scattered across diverse literatures under different conceptual labels, with little intellectual cross-fertilization. We integrate these literatures under a hierarchy reinforcement model of misogyny, which defines misogyny as the social, physical, and economic penalties imposed on women that reinforce hie…
Comparing Gender Hierarchy and Evolutionary Psychology Explanations of Workplace Sexual Harassment
Understanding and preventing workplace sexual harassment requires a good scientific explanation. At present, two scientific explanations compete in the literature. According to the gender hierarchy maintenance account, sexual harassment is a mechanism for maintaining workplace gender hierarchies of power and status, while Evolutionary Psychologists posit that sexual harassment is caused by conflicts between evolved, sex-specific mating and reprod…

A Critique of Defant’s Accusations Against Feminist Studies
The Gendered Consequences of Risk-Taking at Work
Women are seen as more risk-avoidant in the workplace, and some have argued that this contributes to occupational gender gaps. Across two correlational and three experimental studies (total N = 2280), we examined the role of consequences of workplace risk-taking in determining the likelihood of taking future risks at work. We found no evidence for overall gender differences in initial risk-taking, and women and men anticipated similar consequence…
Why Does Workplace Gender Diversity Matter? Justice, Organizational Benefits, and Policy
Why does workplace gender diversity matter? Here, we provide a review of the literature on both justice-based and organizational benefits of workplace gender diversity that, importantly, is informed by evidence regarding sex differences and their relationship with vocational behavior and outcomes. This review indicates that the sexes are neither distinctly different, nor so similar as to be fungible. Justice-based gains of workplace gender divers…
Beyond Mars and Venus
It has been argued that gender essentialism impedes progress towards greater gender equality. Here we present a new gender essentialism scale (GES), and validate it in two large nationally representative samples from Denmark and Australia. In both samples the GES was highly reliable and predicted lack of support for sex-role egalitarianism and support for gender discrimination, as well as perceived fairness of gender-based treatment in the Austra…
Sex, Drugs, and Reckless Driving
We investigated whether risk-taking measures inadvertently focus on behaviors that are more normative for men, resulting in the overestimation of gender differences. Using a popular measure of risk-taking (Domain-Specific Risk-Taking) in Study 1 ( N = 99), we found that conventionally used behaviors were more normative for men, while, overall, newly developed behaviors were not. In Studies 2 ( N = 114) and 3 ( N = 124), we demonstrate that differ…
Wyjaśniamy czy utrzymujemy status quo? Teorie o „głęboko zakorzenionych” różnicach płciowych jako samospełniająca się przepowiednia
W poniższym artykule przedstawiam dane na poparcie twierdzenia o wpływie naukowych opisów grup społecznych na same te grupy oraz na badane zjawiska mentalne. Zarówno w nauce, jak i w popularnym przekazie medialnym powszechna jest kontrowersyjna hipoteza o istnieniu głęboko zakorzenionych różnic między mózgami mężczyzn i kobiet, które przyczyniają się do powstawania różnic w zachowaniach typowych dla danej płci. Przedstawiam dowody na to, że takie…
