Had a great time presenting on Gender Bias in AI at Mintel. We must recognize how bias is embedded into AI and the competence penalties that women may get when they do use AI at work.
I visited a convenience store today and these two pictures were posted on all their doors. The man as the supervisor and the woman as the subordinate only serve to reinforce stereotypes.
Very glad to see @jguynn.bsky.social's reporting on women's events on the front page of @usatoday.com print edition. As I told Jessica, these events not as a mirror of boy's club exclusion but are a response to it. Women’s networks "don’t exclude men, they help women catch up."
I was deeply honored to receive the 2026 IMPACT Award for the College of Education and Human Services at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. As I said during my acceptance speech, my IUP PhD changed me as a person and allowed me to discover and pursue my passion for gender equality.
In honor of International Women's Month, Jana Hilstova reposted our convo on The Purse podcast. We discuss why women are considered 'never quite right' at work. Ex: A mother? Not a mother? Doesn't want to be a mother, but gets 'maybe baby' bias. Tune in: jointhepurse.substack.com/p/30-types-o...
Today! Join me and SHANNON WATTS on Substack Live for a discussion of the misogyny in the Epstein files. Not only were girls and women exploited, but the files show how Epstein and his networks indirectly harm all women and their opportunities. March 26 at 4pm ET/1pm PT.
I spoke with @CNN's Zain Asher about the casual misogyny of the Epstein files. Beyond criminal abuse, there was another harm: reinforcing male-dominated networks of money & power. The problem wasn’t access to him—it was women’s exclusion from opportunities those networks controlled.

Honored that STEM-UP Network chose GLASS WALLS for their book club. I had the opportunity to share reflections. We discussed how it is so important to recognize and call out gender bias in our everyday interactions and especially on behalf of other women. Those little moments matter.

AOC: Women's educational and economic independence is a major threat to Republicans' power. Hence a reason to remove the professional designation from female-dominated education programs.

On hustle culture, I told Bamboo HR News, "If your employees can’t take a two-week vacation without work grinding to a halt, then you don’t have enough staff." newsroom.bamboohr.com/amy-diehl-wi...

I had a great time speaking to and getting the know the phenomenal women leaders at the Women's Leadership Summit and Retreat hosted by the University of Arizona, Center for the Philosophy of Freedom this past weekend. I left inspired!
At the current rate, it will take until 2158, five generations from now, to reach full gender parity, per the World Economic Forum. We must #AccelerateAction. Recruit women, promote women, invest in women, support reproductive rights, and remove barriers for women.
When you are reading a book by an absolute icon--Brooke Shields--and see your own research cited!! Yes, women face ageism at every age including middle-age. Her book "Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old" shows how middle age for women is hopeful, freeing, and productive.
I spoke about lookism bias against women w/ Dahlia Stroud for the Stressed But Well Dressed Podcast. Lookism is traditionally defined as a beauty bias. However, for women, no matter what the women looked like, they were criticized or discriminated against. open.spotify.com/episode/7cBB...

UK study finds women spend more time than men on Pinterest, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. Men spend more time on YouTube, LinkedIn Reddit, X/Twitter, and Quora. advanced-television.com/2024/11/28/r...
My new study (N=913) finds 30 identity factors as basis for discrimination against women leaders. Women leaders are “never quite right” as almost any facet of their identity can be declared problematic for a specific woman in a specific context. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
