This isn't a stalled gender revolution. It's a gender counter-revolution. And the most troubling part is that it's younger men and boys the leading charge.

This graph represents tens of thousands of active NSF grants. About 14% of them were awarded in 2020 or earlier, yet none were terminated. All 1044 cancellations occurred since 2021.
The odds against such an occurrence arising by chance is p<0.0001, less than 1 in 10,000.

🧪 Concrete evidence of political motives:
Out of 1044 NSF terminations so far, *not a single one* started under Trump 1.0. Zilch. Nada. 0%.
That is, all terminated NSF awards started Feb 1, 2021 or later after Biden took office.
Yet, Trump 1.0 awards still account for 15% of still-active awards.

🚨 New #Publication: We tracked how policy and parenthood reshaped gender inequality in Germany from the 1960s to today. In early decades, only 14% of the gender gap was due to kids—now it's 64%.
