Discussing Caroline Criado Perez's book "Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men." The author argues that the world is designed with men in mind, and that this male bias results in a lack of data on women's experiences, needs, and capabilities. This "gender data gap" has dire consequences for women, as it results in everything from unsafe public transport to faulty medical treatments. The text highlights a multitude of examples, ranging from the design of public toilets to the lack of female representation in politics, to illustrate the insidious nature of this bias
