10. Check the Data: It’s a Man’s World

from The Freakonomics Radio Book Club · host Freakonomics Radio & Stitcher

Do you think public bathrooms are too small, smartphones are too big, and public transit just wasn’t made for you? Then you’re probably a woman. In her book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, Caroline Criado Perez argues that products and processes — from medications to snowplow routes —  have historically been tailored for the “standard male.” Hosted by Maria Konnikova.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
