The converging roles of men and women are among the grandest advances in society and the economy in the last century. These aspects of the grand gender convergence are figurative chapters in a ...history of gender roles. But what must the "last" chapter contain for there to be equality in the labor market? The answer may come as a surprise. The solution does not (necessarily) have to involve government intervention and it need not make men more responsible in the home (although that wouldn't hurt). But it must involve changes in the labor market; especially how jobs are structured and remunerated to enhance temporal flexibility. The gender gap in pay would be considerably reduced and might vanish altogether if firms did not have an incentive to disproportionately reward individuals who labored long hours and worked particular hours. Such change has taken off in various sectors, such as technology, science, and health, but is less apparent in the corporate, financial, and legal worlds.
Gender categorization and stereotyping can lead to discrimination. Researchers have mostly studied cisgender, gender-conforming individuals as the targets when examining these processes. In two ...factorial survey experiments, we investigated gender categorization and stereotyping of gender-ambiguous targets based on facial features and behavioral information. We manipulated femininity/masculinity/ambiguity of face, expression, and occupation. Participants completed a gender categorization task, and stereotype and attitude measures. The findings indicated that face was most influential for categorization: When face was unambiguously masculine or feminine, participants mostly categorized targets as male or female, respectively. In these cases, expression and occupation had little influence on categorization. When face was ambiguous, this additional information significantly influenced categorization. Nonbinary categorization was more likely for ambiguous faces, and most likely for ambiguous faces combined with ambiguous expression and ambiguous or feminine occupation. Our findings suggest that categorizing gender-ambiguous targets is more complex compared to clearly gendered targets. Primarily relying on face when it appears clearly gendered likely causes categorization errors when encountering TGNC individuals.
Trans*Sichtbarkeit hat in den letzten Jahren einen Höhepunkt erreicht, so auch in TV- und Streaming-Serien. Sie geht mit Prozessen sozialer Popularisierung und akademischer Legitimierung einher. ...Inwiefern bildet die fiktionale Darstellung von trans*Personen ihre vielfältige Wirklichkeit ab, die von selbstbestimmten Lebensentwürfen ebenso wie von Diskriminierung und Gewalt geprägt ist? Wenn es stimmt, dass Serien Gesellschaft- und Identifikationsmodelle hervorbringen, welche Chancen und Gefahren sind dann mit ihrer Verbreitung verbunden? Die Autor_innen gehen diesen Frage anhand von ausgewählten europäischen Serien nach. creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
Objectives: To investigate the differences between the characteristics of disease presentation and treatment outcomes on the basis of gender in patients with operated prolactinoma.
Methods: ...Prolactinoma patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Neurosurgery clinics between 2013-2023 were included in this study. Surgical indications, secondary treatments, clinical, demographic, biochemical, radiological findings, and pathological data were analyzed. Data were compared between the gender groups.
Results: Thirty-two men and 28 women were included in the study. The mean age of the men was 44 years and that of the women was 29 years. While men were more likely to have decreased libido, women were more likely to have menstrual irregularities (p < 0.001). The tumor was larger in men (p = 0.001), presenting with a more frequent suprasellar invasion (p = 0.001) and cavernous sinus invasion (p < 0.001). Pituitary hormone deficiency (p < 0.001) and visual field defects (p < 0.001) occurred more frequently in men.
Conclusions: Male prolactinoma patients tend to have more invasive and larger tumors. Men are less likely than women to go into remission with surgery. This difference in presentation may be due to indistinct symptoms in male patients and late diagnosis.
