There is no scientific basis to say female mice present more variable traits (as a blanket statement) because of hormonal cycles and use that as a basis to study ONLY male mice. It is not true. It’s just as simple as that. In fact, these has been refuted a few times: 👇

Excellent roadmap on creating an anti-racist organisation. One notable point is action 11 - "A review and revision of the criteria for honors and awards, promotion, and leadership selection are critical to secure inclusion (ACTION #11)." #Equality

“Heterosexuality and the gender binary assumptions lead to increased levels of discrimination and harassment of LGBTQI people, and ultimately their exclusion, unless they downplay their gender identity, sexual orientation or gender expression to fit in.” Excellent ally guide!
