For my part, I was having to remind myself that there are lots of men in the world that I like and respect and who have had nothing to do with architecting any of these issues, even if some are guilty of perpetuating them unconsciously. Having grown up in a double patriarchy (Korean family in the US), I too am guilty of this and could’ve benefited from asking more questions.
This was highly relevant to me, for example, as a pianist. I had to give up at a certain point because my hand span was too small. Rather than asking why the pianos couldn’t be made smaller, I assumed the problem was me. Or every time I put on my seatbelt, I have to use an adjuster because the seats and belts are too big for my body. (I really think there’s a huge untapped market for car manufacturers of they’d design and sell cars just for women’s body!!!!, like in the billions!!!!).
What’s frustrating about books like this - nothing gets done, even though we know better. 😢 Plus, women generally outlive men and in poorer health for all the reasons outlined and more. So we’re also having to live longer in these awful conditions. The unfairness never seems to end…

I was quite surprised to realize this was written in 2019. It felt behind on many social issues and failed to include the full context behind the little solutions offered. Each chapter was just a reiteration of the previous, which does drive home the frustration factor of losing this data, but left me feeling annoyed and wishing to "get to a point"
I would still recommend this book, especially since it made me confront a lot of unconscious bias I had in myself; however, lots of discussion and further resources would be almost required
