> I was the exact opposite of "alienated" by the trigger warning.
I don't doubt that it's a useful warning for some people, but that lingo in particular is generally used by people already sensitive to gender issues. It's also commonly used by extremists so outsiders will have trouble telling the difference immediately. A more traditional content warning would presumably have sufficed.

No, I don't want examples. I want trends and statistics. At the very least the article needs a proper introduction.
I'm pretty sure I already am (indirectly obviously since I'm a poor scientist). I pay taxes, the government funds universities and research. As far as I know, there's no significant gender gap in psychology/sociology/ect. that would cause discrimination against such studies.
I don't pretend to be versed in either field, but I see plenty of related results on google scholar in reputable journals.
