Belonging and blame: cultural and moral correlates of anti-Asian scapegoating for the COVID-19 pandemic Abstract. Violence and discrimination targeting Asian Americans increased substantially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and perpetrators have

My latest article is now available online at Social Forces. I analyzed original survey data to explore how/why Asian Americans were scapegoated for the COVID-19 pandemic, and what may have shaped Americans' susceptibility to these kinds of outgroup blame narratives.

MAGA wants teen births. It won't work Teen birth rates are at historic lows — and young women want to keep it that way

Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.

The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.

An analysis.

The Chappell Roan harassment campaign is plain old misogyny The artist faces online backlash not for any wrongdoing but because she's a woman.

Roan demonstrated more moral courage than many powerful people in her decision to leave a talent agency after reports revealed the exec’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Yet she received far more social backlash over a non-event than praise after taking a material risk for the sake of her principles.

The people screaming loudest about the ”deep state” are actually the ones running it.

Look at Trump, Vance, Musk, Thiel, and their friends:

They control the administration, own the platforms, hold your data, and hoard the wealth.

They are the ones we should fear

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did.

Bericht des Außendienst des Jobcenters: "Jedenfalls zeigte uns der KD freiwillig seine 2-Zi Whg mit Küche&Bad. Die Whg ist spärlich eingerichtet. Im Wohn- und Schlafzimmer befindet sich ein Sofa auf dem der KD schläft. Buchtsäblich konnten wir aber Bettzeug auf und neben dem Sofa in Augenschein nehmen. Auf dem Tisch erkannten wir ein Tablet. Der KD gab an, nicht mehr zu besitzen, er habe so wenig Geld, dass er sich nicht einmal eine matratze leisten könne. (...) Im Badezimmer fanden wir diverse Hygienartikel vor. In der Tat hat der KD nicht viel, aber die Whg war beheizt als wir rein kamen und die paar wenigen Dinge die es ausmachen, den Lebensmittelpunkt dort zu haben, konnte uns der KD zeigen."

#TheMonogamousState: Monogamy is central to how states define citizenship and public order. Using France, it shows how colonial and racialized opposition to polygamy helped construct the state through the regulation of sexuality and family form.

It’s true: not all men use sexual force. But 95.1% of men in a recent, anonymous survey of men between the ages of 18 and 34 reported having recently used at least one strategy to get a woman to have sex who they knew did not want sex and had not consented. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It's not punishment to say that someone with power who has abused that power doesn't get to get more power. That's a consequence. Some of you are truly ridiculous.

We would be having much different conversations about sexual violence if everyone saw a perpetrator’s denial of violence this way.

“He has no remorse and look at how eager he is to hurt her again,” instead of, “he has the right to defend himself.”
