A book about the gender data gap
SAFETY STANDARDS do not take into account the physiological characteristics of women
To simulate the situation of a female driver, the same dummy is only proportionally reduced - without taking into account the peculiarities of female physiology or the fact that women tend to sit further forward than men when driving
In car accidents, women are injured 47% more often than men, and the fatality rate for women is 17% higher
This way, strength exercises are dangerous for adult men with high blood pressure. In women, on the contrary, they lower blood pressure and are extremely healthy
Meanwhile, the difference in the immune and hormonal systems of men and women is not taken into account, despite the fact that the body may respond to medications quite differently
do you know? GENDER DIFFERENCES are not accounted in the majority of CLINICAL RESEARCHes
We’ve got used to the gender bias so much that do not even notice the discrimination and consider it normal
For more than 100 years, the skeleton of a 10th century Viking known as the "warrior of Birka" was considered male, even though the pelvic bones indicated that he was a woman
A human is referred to as a man SINCE ARISTOTLE'S DECLARATION IN THE 4TH CENTURY B.C.
The dummy used for the crash tests has the proportions of a man who is 177 centimeters tall and weighs 76 kilograms
The majority of medical developments are done on "Reference Man” — Caucasian men aged twenty-five to thirty, who weigh 70 kilograms — as if they apply to women
The result of this deeply male-dominated culture is that the male experience, the male perspective, has come to be seen as universal, while the female experience — that of half the global population, after all — is seen as niche
