EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. NEEDS. TO. READ. THIS. BOOK.

It's not political, it's not biased, it's just a pure fact that the world is built for men. Until you read this book, you'll have no idea the depths of suffering that is directly responsible for that fact. If you're a man, you need to read this and be made aware of the tiny things you may do and how they impact women on a large scale. If you're a woman, you need to be aware of how this system impacts you and how to fight against it.

From health care and data science to political office and disaster response, every industry plays a role in making men the default being. It's not out of hate or even purposeful neglect, but out of missing data and women's voices that the needs of the female species are often completely ignored.

Nothing will change until the vast majority of culture begins to shift, but there are things every single person on this planet can do that will make an impact on how half of the population lives. Literal lives depend on men and women stepping up and making these changes in society, law, culture, and standard practices. Start by just reading this book, then ask yourself how you can make an impact.
