All my postdoc birdies coming home to roost! Our global study (80k+ people, 60+ countries) shows that religious homonegativity isn't just conservatism or authoritarianism - it’s mostly about traditional gender norms! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Three main findings from my new research on men’s femininity: 1. Femmephobia is everywhere. All men in the study recalled negative reactions when they expressed femininity. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Good (short?) measures to assess wellbeing?

Authors who write lovingly about their characters goes down so smooth. Especially when paired with in-depth analyses of why characters do the good & bad they do. Just finished Anne Tyler's The Accidental Tourist and this is a perfect example www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...
