Violin226’s Reviews > Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men > Status Update

I like it so far! It’s still an accessible read, and I only have to search words every few pages. Only problem is it doesn’t really motivate me to keep reading; it’s interesting, but doesn’t really roll along like a narrative

“When you have been so used, as a white man, to white and male going without saying, it’s understandable that you might forget that white and male is an identity too.”

“These white men have in common the following opinions: that identity politics is only identity politics when it’s about race or sex; that race and sex have nothing to do with ‘wider’ issues like ‘the economy’; that it is ‘narrow’ to specifically address the concerns of female voters and voters of colour; and that working class means white working-class men.”

“The fact is that worth is a matter of opinion, and opinion is informed by culture. And if that culture is as male-biased as ours is, it can’t help but be biased against women. By default.”
