Hypothesis
Women look forward to different things after the pandemic in masculine and feminine cultures.
Note
Women in more masculine cultures were more likely to report looking forward to a return to daily activities (p<0.05, Wald coefficient=3.90, odds ratio=1.009). Women in more feminine cultures were more likely to report looking forward to social activities (p<0.05, Wald coefficient=4.92, odds ratio=0.989), life without restrictions (p<0.01, Wald coefficient=8.16, odds ratio=0.987), to a world with environmental and social justice (p<0.01, Wald coefficient=7.21, odds ratio=0.982), and a revival of work and the economy (p<0.1, Wald coefficient=3.81, odds ratio=0.986).
