I want to remind everyone at this time about special ballots and mail ins. These are never counted right away. Especially important for Pennsylvania and Michigan these two states are razor thin. And some of the states haven't finished their counts yet.

Ended up at 728 for the first two weeks. I am pretty bummed that I didn‘t even break a thousand — but I am going to ramp things up for the back half!

I didn't have high blood pressure before listening to this, but I possibly do now.
I knew the gender data gap was problematic but had no idea how all-pervasive it is, and honestly hadn't given much thought to the everyday repercussions of that. ?
I hope men will read this book too, even if it is "wimmin's things".

What a fantastic, frustrating read! I expect to revisit this in the future. It also dovetailed nicely with other recent reads, especially The Feminine Mystique, The Math of Life and Death, and Recollections of my Nonexistence. I‘ve been sharing tidbits with my mom and now she‘s interested in it, too. Highly recommended.

TheBookHippie Well, I need to read it then! 4mo
Bookwormjillk I really liked this one too 4mo

I listened to this but I will be buying a physical copy. This book made me move between two emotions. Rage and despair. How is it that it‘s 2024 and we still have such inequality for women. Half the population! This fight is so exhausting! More men reading books like this would be a start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bookbuyingaddict @Rissreads Iv had this on my TBR for yonks after listening to an interview with the author, I think at the moment it would upset me too much. Just last week hate speech was made a crime in Scotland but controversially misogyny was not included as a hate crime. As you can imagine there has been a lot of discussion and debate about that !! 7mo
Rissreads @Bookbuyingaddict I feel like we are just banging our heads on a wall and going around and around the same circle. 7mo
bookandbedandtea I read about a third of this and was so demoralized I put it aside. I've been thinking that I'm about ready to dip back into it though. 7mo
Bookwomble @Bookbuyingaddict The arguments about not including misogyny as hate speech seem to come down to it being so prevalent and culturally embedded that it would overwhelm the courts if it was made a crime, and "the Wokerati won't let you say anything these days". 6mo

If you are a woman, this book will confirm that you are not delusional in your perception of the world being phallocentric.

I made a #BookTree once & decided I am way too lazy for it. It‘s putting the books away that sucks! Anyway, last year my holiday cards & postcards from Zazzle featured book stacks & book trees. 🤷🏻‍♀️📚🎄

I picked the tagged book for its title but it looks so interesting I may need to add it to my TBR! 🌳

I didn't quite finish my second nonfiction book this month so this one won by default but it probably would have won anyway. Great, informative read.

Interesting & frustrating how the world is designed for men. The author explains how the male default bias affects women by not giving them effective products/services & can also cause harm. Everything from city planning to product design suffers from a lack of data pertaining to women. The gender data gap will take years to overcome, if decision makers even choose to address the problem. And the best way to start is by including women in planning

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage That‘s so discouraging 😣 11mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 11mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I just recently saw a story about this issue in AI, specifically using a lot of white men in training it, making the outcomes biased. 🫣 11mo
peanutnine @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yup, this book was written a few years ago but it still had a section on the issues in algorithms and technology because of gender biased data. I can imagine it's even worse now with the new AI mess 11mo
