Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
Have you ever noticed that many products, services, and even policies are often designed with men in mind? From smartphone sizes to car safety features, the default user tends to be male. But what about women?
Author Caroline Criado Perez explores this issue in her book “Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men.” She uncovers the pervasive data bias that exists in various industries, leading to products and systems that do not adequately consider women’s needs and experiences.
For example, crash test dummies were originally based on male bodies, resulting in car safety features that are less effective for women. Similarly, smartphones are often too large for women’s hands, as they were designed to fit the average male hand size.
This data bias extends beyond just product design – it also affects policies and decision-making processes. For instance, urban planning that prioritizes car traffic over pedestrian safety can disproportionately impact women, who are more likely to walk or take public transportation.
It’s time to recognize and address this data bias in order to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all genders. By centering women’s experiences and needs in the design and implementation of products, services, and policies, we can create a more diverse and inclusive society. Let’s work towards a world that is truly designed for everyone.
