Folketingsmedlemmer har stærke incitamenter til at deltage aktivt i lovgivningsdebatterne i folketingssalen. Alligevel deltager kvindelige folketingsmedlemmer markant mindre heri end deres mandlige kolleger. Denne forskel bidrager til en i forvejen ulige kønsrepræsentation i Folketinget. På trods af en rig forskningslitteratur omkring parlamentarisk kønsrepræsentation har vi fortsat begrænset viden om, hvorfor kvindelige folketingsmedlemmer taler mindre end de mandlige. På baggrund af data om samtlige lovgivningsdebatter i Folketinget i perioden 2009-2022 finder vi, at kønsforskellen i, hvorvidt kvindelige og mandlige folketingsmedlemmer deltager aktivt i lovgivningsdebatter, falder med 32 pct., når der kontrolleres for folketingsmedlemmernes ordførerskaber. Mandlige folketingsmedlemmer er oftere ordførere inden for politikområder med høj lovgivningsaktivitet sammenlignet med kvindelige, hvorfor de oftere har anledning til at tale i salen.
