Individual action matters, but just asking women to \u201clean in\u201d falls woefully short<span style=\"font-weight: 300\">\u2014<\/span>meaningful change requires system-wide, far-reaching solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male default<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez was a keynote speaker at the Lancet launch event and in her talk, as in her new book <em>Invisible Women<\/em>, she described the many problems that women face in a world that is designed around a male default. Crash test dummies are designed with male bodies in mind, so although men are more likely to be in road traffic accidents, women are more likely to be seriously hurt. Much of our understanding of diseases and treatments is based on clinical research that features a preponderance of men, which may in part explain things like the higher rate of misdiagnosis of heart attacks in women. One of the implications of the male default is what has now come to be known as the gender data gap. We just don\u2019t have enough data about women and from women. It\u2019s an issue that extends far beyond healthcare and clinical research. The challenge now is to make the invisible visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gathering evidence is important, but it\u2019s not a substitute for action<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While there are big gaps in the data about women\u2019s experiences in general, when it comes to certain types of bias and discrimination we have already accumulated a fair amount of evidence. In a podcast interview in December about gender bias in healthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/bmjpodcasts\/women-in-medicine-at-christmas\">physician and activist Esther Choo<\/a> made the case for shifting the focus to solutions: \u201cWe tend to get stalled on simply describing the problem in very superficial terms, so one thing I don\u2019t really want to see is another quantitative study laying out the statistics on gender discrimination, bias, and inequity in salary promotion and rank.. we all kind of wring our hands and go back to business as usual\u2026 [but] if gender bias was a disease we wouldn\u2019t just keep on observing it. If we were talking about, say, diabetes we wouldn\u2019t just come out with a paper every few years saying it seems that, you know, a lot of people in the population still have high sugars\u2026 we would want to start to test for solutions&#8230; The solutions are going to be many and complex, so it is going to take a lot of work to get there, but with this problem we haven\u2019t really moved towards solutions.\u201d While we&#8217;re implementing solutions, it\u2019s important to track progress so we don\u2019t take our eye off the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Convincing the unconvinced<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s the best way of persuading people who think that gender bias has now been solved or that the problems don\u2019t exist? At the Lancet Women launch event, Chief Medical Officer for England Sally Davies said that this is one area where hard evidence is helpful. She had found being able to point to studies and audits made it harder for opponents to dispute her points. However, the demand for proof and statistics can be exhausting and can get in the way of achieving change. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a strong argument to say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villainesse.com\/girl-power\/stop-asking-women-prove-sexism-exists\">that the burden of proving that sexism exists shouldn\u2019t just fall to the women<\/a> trying to change the system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves about sexism and other forms of discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recognising intersectionality<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kottke.org\/19\/02\/what-is-intersectionality\">The term intersectionality<\/a> was first coined by Kimberl\u00e9 Williams Crenshaw as a legal scholar in the 1980s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It\u2019s a concept used to describe the ways in which different kinds of oppression are interconnected. When thinking about gender, it reminds us that we can\u2019t think of gender bias in isolation from other forms of discrimination<span style=\"font-weight: 300\">\u2014<\/span>other forms of discrimination, such as classism, racism, ableism, and homophobia have a compounding effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feminism is for everybody<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the opening editorial in the Lancet\u2019s theme issue says, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(19)30239-9\/fulltext\">gender equity is essential for better research and better patient care<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
