Morgan Barrett’s Reviews > Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men > Status Update

finally got this back from libby after 3 MONTHS

“in the US, 80% of over 65s have at least one chronic condition, and 50% have at least two.” I’m going to start training for 5ks and weight lifting what the fuck

“this finding could not only be transformative… it could save women’s lives, in countries where c-sections are risky, or not readily available. not that you have to live in a low income country for a c-section to be risky; you could just be a Black woman living in the united states.” nodded my head so hard in the middle of dishes that i had to dry my hands off to come type this one down

i DONT need to be told that AI, on top of everything else, is also being programmed to be sexist

“women also have an average of 41% lower grip strength than men, and this is not a sex difference that changes with age; the typical 70 year old man has a stronger hand grip than the average 25 year old woman.” ok as a 25 year old woman this pissed me right off
