Afterword: man's first attempt at a calendar was allegedly on antler bones, showing 28 marks scratched into it. "'tell me, what man needs to know when 28 days have passed? i suspect that this is WOMAN's first attempt at a calendar'"

from Afterward: "Failing to collect data on women and their lives means that we continue to naturalize sex and gender discrimination...We don't see it BECAUSE we naturalize it...The irony of being a women...at once hyper visible when it comes to being treated as the subservient sex class and invisible when it counts, when it comes to being counted"

from Afterward: "female biology is not the reason women are raped. it is not the reason women are intimidated and violated as they navigate public spaces. this happens not because of sex, but bc of gender: the social meanings we have imposed on male and female bodies"

from the Afterward: "Routinely forgetting to accommodate the female body in design, whether medical, technological, or architectural, has led to a world that is...dangerous for women to navigate. it leads to us injuring us in jobs and cars that weren't designed for our bodies. it leads to us dying from drugs that don't work" :(

heheeehehehe

Kat Stratford…… 😈

"recent quantitative data analysis has found compelling evidence that countries where women are kept out of positions power and treated as second-class citizens are less likely to be peaceful...Closing the gender data gap really is better for everyone"
