That bias influences who succeeds and who is sidelined. #EconSky https://theconversation.com/larry-summers-sexism-is-jeopardizing-his-power-and-privilege-but-the-entire-economics-profession-hinders-progress-for-women-27036702 Dec 2025 20:59 +0000at://did:plc:54nam26f4altdevnr7j26wjr/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6ztir64vc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/yanarodgers.bsky.social/post/3m5yqrzfhf22nThe revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Nov 2025 17:12 +0000at://did:plc:54nam26f4altdevnr7j26wjr/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5yqrzfhf22n
