I listened to Invisible Women by @ccriadoperez and I haven't recovered. Did you know women are 47% more likely to be seriously injured in a car crash because crash test dummies are male? This book is a masterclass in quiet, devastating proof. 🎧📊 #InvisibleWomen #FeministReads #BookReview

Invisible Women Review | Views She Writes

A riveting look at gender bias in data and design. My review of Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez on Views She Writes.

Views She Writes

The new batch of J Scott Campbell books came in. I need to figure out when he's doing another CGC signing so I can get these in.

又在读 #InvisibleWomen ,提到 tech guys 设计手机相关的追踪、监测软件的时候都会假设 the phone is always on you,然后女的就会跳出来说女性的裤子口袋不够大,不会总放在身上。

不是,就算不考虑裤子口袋的大小,难道男的就会真的时时刻刻把手机装在身边吗?设计 Two-factor authentication 还有一帮非要上手机才能登陆、操作的 App 的不会就是这帮天天把手机放在身边还假设每个人都会这么干的傻逼吧?

No TV3 ziņām uzzināju, ka Eiropas gada cilvēku Latvijā nosaukt bija aicināts Pozņaks. Vispār jau mēs bijām divi aicināti un blakus vien stāvējām. Nosauca gan Reinis, jā, tā runu gabaliņus sadalījām. Kaut kā man neiet, ekspertu galdu foto arī tik mati vien.😂 Jāsāk vilkt #redjacket ? #invisiblewomen

“cardiovascular diseases can look very different in women than they do in men”

“many of the symptoms and tests used to diagnose a heart attack have been developed based on what men experience.”

“A 2023 review found that, in addition to chest pain, women who’d had a heart attack reported experiencing other “atypical” symptoms – such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, indigestion, upper back or belly pain or excessive, unexplained sweating.”

Why women are still being underdiagnosed with heart disease

Anatomical and physiological differences in the cardiovascular system directly reflect on the way heart disease manifests in women versus men.

Sentence of the week goes to Caroline Criado Perez in #InvisibleWomen: “The tax system’s woman problem extends beyond the zombie assumption that household resources are allocated equally between the sexes” (p. 261) 💅🧟

"Mir haben [...] Ärzte erzählt, wann sie zum 1. Mal wirklich [glaubten], dass Long Covid existiert: als zB 1 Manager demonstrierte, dass er keine Mail mehr tippen konnte. [...] Offenbar musste erst ein als stark und erfolgreich bewerteter Mann typische Long-Covid-Symptome schildern"

#invisiblewomen rant: in my van, I cannot I slide the seat forward enough to drive AND move the sun visor from the windshield to the door side. Short people apparently never drive when the sun changes position.

A new #essay by Caroline Criado Perez that resonated with me big time - all about #TaylorSwift, #JaneAusten and the female experience and representation. It’s long but worth it. Perez always has great insights and is one of my favourite #authors (and if you haven’t read her book #InvisibleWomen I HIGHLY recommend it, it radically changed my perspective of data and the world 💖)
