“For All Mankind” (an apple tv series)- absolutely appalling
I know. Given the title, I never should have bothered. And I certainly shouldn’t’ve expected, let alone hoped, for anything remotely alternative (the series is billed as ‘alternative history’). Alternative to the male dominance, the white male dominance, the relentlessly juvenile competition and all the rest of disgusting masculinity (when the Soviets landed on the …

something fundamentally male about escaping to Mars…
“And there is something fundamentally male about this narrative of exit [establishing colonies on Mars, for example], of escape as a means toward the nobility of self-determination.

Among a whole lot of ‘worth mentioning’, I’ll mention the reference to Irving Fisher’s study (p.43) involving meat-eating athletes, vegetarian athletes, and vegetarian non-athletes. Vegetarians, whether athletes or not, had the greatest endurance (as measured by three strength tests). “Even the maximum record of the flesh-eaters was barely …

Invisible Women – Caroline Criado Perez
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men is a must-read.
(And although she soft-pedals this, surely the persistent failure to consider women is evidence of what they think of us: we’re unimportant, we’re not worth consideration. Or perhaps it’s simply evidence of their persistent failure to consider anyone but themselves. Either way …

Male vs. Female re sexual offences
“Around 13,000 males are in prison for sexual offences compared to fewer than 150 females. “
(according to a post at https://fairplayforwomen.com/stop-misreporting-sex/ about England and Wales)
Says a lot, doesn’t it.
