Summary: Studies have shown that there are sex differences in COVID-19, with women being less prone to severe disease. However, few studies have examined sex differences in Long-COVID-19 syndrome. This study found that women had more symptoms both in the acute phase and during follow-up. Sex was found to be an important determinant of Long-COVID-19 syndrome, with women more likely to experience persistent symptoms. These findings highlight the need for long-term follow-up and personalized treatment strategies from a sex perspective.

This study highlights both the diversity of thought within the incel community and the role of hegemonic masculinity in marginalizing specific groups of men.

Summary: This study investigates the discourses on /r/Braincels, a Reddit forum for self-proclaimed incels, and reveals the dehumanizing attitudes towards women, exemplified by the term "femoid" used to demean them. The research finds that the misogyny expressed on /r/Braincels is not isolated to online spaces, but is connected to broader societal practices that reinforce the inferior status of women. It highlights the deeply misogynistic nature of our society.

Summary: This article maps a diverse range of initiatives mobilized to fight sexual violence, making visible the global genealogy of digital feminist activism. It demonstrates the power and potential of initiatives that expose the structural conditions enabling sexual violence through the collective sharing of experiences across cybernetworks via processes of ethical witnessing. The authors advocate for greater recognition of voices and experiences that feminist scholars and activists continue to fail to witness, calling for efforts to archive the genealogy of digital feminist mobilization to capture its complexity and diversity.

Summary: This article examines the instrumentalization of women's rights and the transformation of the gender rights regime in the context of democratic backsliding in Turkey.

The focus is shifted from regime types to regime change, contributing to the literature on regime types and gender rights.

Summary: This research highlights the lived experience of gender harassment among women in male-dominated occupations in Australia. Women in these occupations face daily belittling and demeaning behavior from colleagues, managers, and customers as retaliation for encroaching on traditionally male domains.

Summary: This study reveals the significant impact of homosocial masculinity practices on digital sexual image exchange, including pressurized sexting, image based sexual harassment, and sexual abuse. The gain of homosocial masculinity currency through sharing images of girls' bodies contributes to these practices, while the rise of male nudes and humor culture lessen the sexual stigmatization of leaked dick pics. Providing time and space for boys to reflect on homosocial masculinity performances is crucial for disrupting these practices, and the conclusions outline new UK school guidance for tackling online sexual harassment, cyberflashing, and image-based sexual abuse.
