Daycare is not evil
Why motherhood isn't a solo project
New essay about alloparenting, religion, & daycare. There's a strange energy swirling around motherhood in far-right circles, asserting the primacy of mothers as the only possible "natural" caregivers, but this ignores our evolution as cooperative breeders. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/daycare-is...

Scott Galloway is wrong about dads and childbirth
He called it “disgusting” for fathers, but that’s not what my research has found
Scott Galloway recently told Derek Thompson on his podcast that childbirth is “disgusting” and “unnatural” for dads. I’ve studied fathers' experience of childbirth in my lab for years, and I think Galloway is wrong. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/scott-gall...

The forbidden truth about sex differences
Mars and Venus in retrograde
I have an essay in @theargument.bsky.social today, diving into the science on gender differences and making the case that, Mars and Venus style arguments aside, biological essentialism isn't well-supported by the evidence.
