Loved talking to Noah, one of my favorite commentators, about my book!!
I interviewed @corinnelow.com about her book Having It All, and how sexism and men's unwillingness to do domestic chores and childcare puts a lot of constraints on what women can in fact have. Important to recognize that and make decisions accordingly! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/how-women-...

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!
Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:
"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"
The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content.
But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand.

There has been no increase in the economic diversity of elite private and public colleges in the United States over the last century.
However, these colleges have become more racially and geographically diverse.
