Worm’s Reviews > Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men > Status Update

"The system is skewed towards electing men, which means that the system is skewed towards perpetuating the gender gap..."

It’s shocking to me that women are even being taxed more (both individually and in a marriage) - and that sanitary products are considered “luxury items” just because they’re not essential to men.

Instead of basing our economy around male biased confection(?) we need to focus on reality- and collect more data Thats isn’t biased

“We need to train doctors to listen to women, and to recognize that their inability to diagnose a woman may not be because she is lying or being hysterical: the problem may be the gender data gaps in their knowledge. It’s time to stop dismissing women, and start saving them.”

The first example in the drugs dont work chapter was pretty much my exact experience with the medical system- except I still don’t have a doctor that takes me seriously. While this chapter wasn’t eye opening (because I’ve also experienced it) it did enrage me.

from being grossed out by anatomy to just straight up not thinking of us- products are leading to our deaths. its crazy.

VR sexual harassment/assault- we didn’t think about it :0! Well meaning men don’t think about these things because it doesn’t happen to them- but I feel like ignorance is no excuse. I’m sick and tired of men.

I work in the service industry and have experienced some of the things from this chapter but GOD health care workers have it rough. What do you mean it’s literally everyday that women in healthcare experience violence!?!? And nothing is being done
