Find out what I’ve learned, that not only does this harm women but it’s literally costing women their lives

Here are some key messages from this episode

  • Why The Gender Data Gap is costing lives
  • The socially constructed nature of reality
  • The reasons why women are being ignored
  • Play the episode for more.

    Here are some key takeaways from this episode

    The Gender Data Gap means we really don’t know what we think we know

    Data, information, knowledge, history is incomplete and inaccurate because it does not include women in way that would be reasonably expected”

    Excluding women is costing some women their lives

    women tend to sit further forward than men when driving and are therefore more likely to be seriously injured and die in a car accident, even the crash test dummies were based around fiftieth percentile men when they were first introduced in the 1950’s”

    We need to address the dominant paradigm to create lasting Inclusive change

    the very paradigm we use to think, to conceive reality has a male default and until we address this how can we expect anything existing in that paradigm to produce anything different”
