About this Item: Hodder and Stoughton Ltd, Caroline Criado Perez shines her penetrating gaze on the absence of women from the creation of most societal norms - from algorithms to medicinal doses to government policy. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things — a monumental piece of research Caitlin Moran Revelatory, frightening, hopeful. The higher rate of death from heart attacks because women do not show the 'typical' male symptoms and end up being misdiagnosed. I've just finished reading the Preface and wasn't sure if I was overly sensitive or correctly spotted TERF rhetorics with this weird chromosomes allusion. Close X. They aren't malicious, but they are pernicious. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. We think that we're getting a better deal than our predecessors - but this book just proves how little progress we've actually made. Portugal actually offers days paid in full, so around 17 weeks, not 6. About this Item: Blurb, Chief amongst these is that women are just too complicated to measure. There are lots of examples here of instances of things like men getting free condoms and women not having access to sanitary products that just make your blood boil. We have to stop willfully closing our eyes to the positive discrimination that currently works in favour of men. From: medimops Berlin, Germany Seller Rating:. The specifics are fascinating — dysmenorrhea extremely painful periods was found to be completely alleviated without side effects in the early stages of Viagra testing, but its manufacturer stopped that direction of testing when it found the drug's more profitable application; women in police forces and armies around the world are forced to wear male body armour that doesn't account for breasts and hips and therefore leaves them vulnerable to attack and more prone to workplace injury a female police officer in Spain was disciplined for acquiring her own made-for-women bulletproof vest ; NGOs tend to ask the male heads of household what is required in the aftermath of a disaster, which has, more than once, led to the construction of homes without kitchens in them — but it would take a book-length review to list everything fascinating in this book. Help Yourself. I would r I don't know who would possibly want a man's opinion on a book about the problems with male default bias, but Invisible Women is a game-changer ; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly… the ambition and scope — and sheer originality — of Invisible Women is huge ; no less than the story of what happens when we forget to account for half of humanity. Perez, in this book, presents numerous examples wi If you want more anger inducing proof for the fact that the systems in place across the world are inherently rigged against women because male definitions and standards have always been default, then this book is a perfect read.

Jan 27, Candie rated it it was amazing. The Guardian extract is an accurate representation of the book as a whole - it has the readability and passion of high quality journalism, without the systematic insight of more academic work.

This is one of those books that has the potential to change things - a monumental piece of research' Caitlin MoranImagine a world where This book!! Women are built in a particular way, and th This is a book about unconscious bias. I would recommend this book to any man who identifies as "not sexist. I will say that at times the writing does get a little 'dry' and bogged down in statistics, however the passion in the writing along with the astounding amount of research that has gone into the text is enough for me to highly recommend this to everyone. The statistics are staggering and infuriating. Just saying, in extrapolating from actual history. About this Item: Bloomsbury Publishing, Seller Rating:. Jul 24, julieta rated it it was amazing Shelves: feminismo. Weight in Grams: The worst case, both for women and for the possibility to real change, are those who believe that they are doing the right thing and would call themselves emancipated but keep on pushing laws and employment contracts that discriminate against women indirectly and perfidiously. This is an infuriating book. Clearly, you are the audience that will never learn from or benefit from it no matter what. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.

The consequences of treating men as the default option, or women just as smaller men — if they get considered at all - has wide-reaching implications for everything and everyone from snow clearing to seat-belts and many branches of medicine. Areas that you have never even thought about; for example things like snow removal, public transportation, how public bathrooms are designed. Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez — a world designed for men. Yes, simple is easier. Perhaps I am merely quicker to blame capitalism than she is? That's women's experience only. If Men must give the Women credit for inventions, discoveries or engineering achievements, they will see to it she gets no money or award from it or any historical notice of it. Caroline Criado Perez is a writer, broadcaster and award-winning feminist campaigner. Every single thing that impacts on the lives of women has actually been designed by men for the benefit of men. Other editions. Perez recognises the important racial as well as gendered elements there and at other points, which is helpful. This book is a devastating indictment of institutionalised complacency and a rallying cry to fight back … Invisible Women should propel women into action. This is a quite good power start to this book. You may have also already read some of the content online - the car test section was excerpted quite widely. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew Incredibly enlightening Average rating 4. Criado-Perez covers too many aspects of life to list, but her argument - and it is a strong argument - boils down to this: There is a lack of data that not only includes women of which there seems to be a severe lack but there is an equal and related lack of data that actively differentiates results to data collected based on men. Q: … sex is not the reason women are excluded from data. Signed by the author with dedication to "Pat". Published by Bonnier Publishing Fiction , London The Invisible Woman 1st edition Reviews Welcome back. This book has hardback covers. This deeply researched and passionate book is the most important contribution to gender equality in years -- Amanda Foreman Criado Perez comprehensively makes the case that seemingly objective data can actually be highly male- biased This is exactly why the casual cissexism embedded in it is so unfortunate and harmful. The deadly truth about a world built for men — from stab vests to car crashes.

  • Sex and Power 2018 | April 2018 | ABOUT SEX and POWER
    SEX & POWER 2018 HELEN JEWELL AND ANDREW BAZELEY, APRIL 2018 © The Fawcett Society 2018 Photo on pp 1 © Rachel Louise Brown Design D.R. ink www.d-r-ink.com FOREWORD If Millicent Fawcett were alive today, I wonder what she’d think about how far we’ve come. I like to think she’d be pleased to be having a statue erected of her in Parliament Square (alongside Winston Churchill, no less, who strongly opposed female suffrage). But how would she feel about the fact that it’s been one hundred years since we defeated the lie that women are biologically incapable of voting, and only now do we get the first statue (out of twelve) of a woman in Parliament Square? If she read the news, and saw how the world has been — and continues to be — rocked by lurid stories of what powerful men do to women, would she feel that we’ve lived up to the promise of the battle she spent her whole life fighting? How would she feel to hear about the abuse — the rape threats, the death threats, the dissection of their bodies and clothes — to which women have to submit as a price for having their voices heard in public? On reading the dismal figures outlined in this report would she reflect on this abuse — both physical and verbal — and reflect that perhaps, just maybe, formal, legal equality isn’t enough? That after 100 years, if formal equality was all it took, maybe more than 32% of MPs and 26% of cabinet members would be women? That maybe we’d have at least one female metro mayor? There are a few bright notes.

  • 'Intersectional Feminism'. What the Hell Is It? (And Why You Should Care)
    'Intersectional feminism'. What the hell is it? (And why you should care) Today's feminist movement is said to be in danger of losing momentum unless it recognises that not every feminist is white, middle class, cis­gendered and able bodied. Cue intersectionality, writes Ava Vidal, who unpicks the latest f­buzzword that's causing controversy Intersectional feminism recognises that certain groups of people have multi­layered facets in life that they have to deal with, such as racism and sexism ­ as this photography project from Kiyun showed last year Photo: Jezebel By Ava Vidal 12:59PM GMT 15 Jan 2014 Intersectionality is a term that was coined by American professor Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. The concept already existed but she put a name to it. The textbook definition states: The view that women experience oppression in varying configurations and in varying degrees of intensity. Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity.” In other words, certain groups of women have multi­layered facets in life that they have to deal with. There is no one­size­fits­all type of feminism. For example, I am a black woman and as a result I face both racism and sexism as I navigate around everyday life. Even though the concept of intersectionality in feminism has been around for decades, it only seems to have made it into mainstream debate in the past year or so. And yet still so many people are confused by what it means, or what it stands for.

  • Crawford+Gillespie
    What is a flag for? Social media reporting tools and the vocabulary of complaint Kate Crawford Tarleton Gillespie Microsoft Research; Cornell University New York University; MIT published in New Media & Society, 2014. See http://nms.sagepub.com/ Abstract The flag is now a common mechanism for reporting offensive content to an online platform, and is used widely across most popular social media sites. It serves both as a solution to the problem of curating massive collections of user- generated content and as a rhetorical justification for platform owners when they decide to remove content. Flags are becoming a ubiquitous mechanism of governance—yet their meaning is anything but straightforward. In practice, the interactions between users, flags, algorithms, content moderators, and platforms are complex and highly strategic. Significantly, flags are asked to bear a great deal of weight, arbitrating both the relationship between users and platforms, and the negotiation around contentious public issues. In this essay, we unpack the working of the flag, consider alternatives that give greater emphasis to public deliberation, and consider the implications for online public discourse of this now commonplace yet rarely studied sociotechnical mechanism. Keywords Community, Facebook, flagging, norms, platforms, Twitter, YouTube An image of two men kissing is posted to Facebook: a still from the British TV show EastEnders, the characters are embracing, eyes closed, a kiss on the lips. The author of the Facebook post said he chose the image because he thought it was a fairly uncontroversial one: “The photos I had considered using before I chose that one are much more racy.

    Footprints in the sand: FIVE YEars oF thE FabIan WomEn’s nEtWork mEntorIng and PolItIcal EducatIon ProgrammE SUPPORTED BY rosie campbell & Joni lovenduski About the FAbiAn Society The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the Society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. Through a wide range of publications and events the Society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. During its history the membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour Prime Minister. Today it counts over 200 Parliamentarians in its number. Member- led activity includes 70 local Fabian societies, the Scottish and Welsh Fabians, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The Society was one of the original founders of the Labour Party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. It is however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and works with a wide range of partners of all political persuasions and none.

    Women, men and news: it’s life, Jim, but not as we know it (1) Authors: Karen Ross, Karen Boyle, Cynthia Carter & Debbie Ging Author details: Karen Ross (Corresponding author): [email protected] Karen Boyle, Communications, Media and Culture, University of Stirling, UK. [email protected] Cynthia Carter, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University, UK. [email protected] Debbie Ging, School of Communications, Dublin City University, Ireland. [email protected] Acknowledgements: We would like to thank the volunteer monitoring teams for England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland who did a great job, and Tobias Bürger and Jane Wynn for their excellent work with the data. Accepted for publication in Journalism Studies, 9.8.2016 DOI: 10.1080/1461670X.2016.1222884 Abstract In the twenty-teens, there are increasing numbers of women occupying executive positions in politics, business and the law but their words and actions rarely make the front page. In this article, we draw on data collected as part of the 2015 Global Media Monitoring Project and focus on England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Since the first GMMP in 1995, there has been a slow but steady rise in the proportion of women who feature, report or present the news (now at 24 per cent), but that increase is a mere seven per cent over twenty years. Not only is there a problem with visibility but our data also suggest that when women are present, their contributions are often confined to the realm of the private as they speak as citizens rather than experts and in stories about health but not politics.
