Red flags for women: Being Right-Wing
Red flags for men: Being Left-Wing
Women are extremely conformist, so their "red flags" are just whatever the government tells them is bad.

-Surveys of sociologists from the 1950s to 2020s show that it is an extremely left-wing field even by comparison with other academic social science fields.
-Surveys that include explicit questions about communism are hard to find, but one such survey found that 25% of sociologists identified as "Marxists", which was the highest among any field in the survey.
-A seemingly forgotten survey of college students from the 1960s showed that their stereotypes of professors' politics was amazingly accurate, r = .98, and still tended to underestimate the degree of leftism among the professors.
-Other data shows that the public is still largely ignorant of the extremity of leftism among professors, but that among those who are aware, are much less trusting of professors and science in general.
-Leftist sociologists, like other academics (e.g. psychologists), play a two-faced game where they seek to dominate their fields to maximize influence, while at the same time trying to appear as mere objective scientists to the public, so they don't get defunded or lose social influence.
-There doesn't appear to be any known political methods that is consistent with classical liberal values of free inquiry that doesn't result in an extreme political imbalance in academic fields like sociology.

Dealing with the two-faced approach

Conservatives tend to value local people and places over distant people and places, liberals, more opportunistically and individualistically, tend to value the inverse. This helps with career advancement but tends to reduce measures of well-being.

Single parenthood and juvenile criminality data from a Dutch study on 1,296,652 children.
Risk of criminality relative to intact families with two biological parents:
1.91: Born to a single parent
1.64: Divorced parents
1.62: One deceased parent
By parent sex:
1.95: Born to a single mother
1.67: Deceased father, lives with mother
1.65: Divorced parents, lives with mother
1.57: Divorced parents, lives with father
1.53: Deceased mother, lives with father
1.30: Born to a single father
In all single-parent scenarios, being raised by a single mother increased the risk of juvenile criminality more than being raised by a single father.
Having one or two criminal parents and having at least one foreign parent also increases the risk of juvenile criminality (because criminality is heritable). The 'foreign parent effect' was significantly larger for non-Western vs. (non-Dutch) Western parents, ~1.94 vs. ~1.18.
