Written by

Whenever we do not collect gendered data, it is inherently biased
Male is the default while female needs to be called out
Women’s contributions over time have often been erased because it was improper or because that could not afford to maintain their legacy
Men are unmarked and women need to be
“There is no such thing as a women who doesn’t work. Just women who do unpaid work.”
25% of Americans return to work within 2 weeks of giving birth
Men and women have different measurement and we design for women
Phones and wearables (including contraceptives) are designed for men
Most drugs are only tested on men
Many drugs that work for men literally have no effect on women
GDP excludes unpaid household work
