Invisible Women – Exposing data bias in a world designed for men – Caroline Criado Perez

Gender biased facts & stats so compelling it made my blood boil

A shocking realisation through everyday facts and figures that the world we have built around us is rooted in male bias, from office temperatures designed for cooler male preferences to more UK statues named John than non-royal women to emojis designed with male defaults and male characters spending twice as much time on the screen as female characters (3 times as much if it’s a male lead role).  Generic masculinity and male defaults are everywhere.  Unthinking and blood curdling.
