It was incredibly repetitive about the point that women (though she has yet to mention anything about trans people) have been left out of consideration in pretty much all areas of society and science. Important, but I don't think it necessarily needed to be a full length book.

Stopped at 69%

This book was enlightening for me. I kind of knew that science has made male the default and female the exceptional case, but to see myriad examples and their negative consequences is just mind boggling. It may not cover intersectional demographics but that’s probably a whole other book on its own, and a far more depressing book at that. If you’re a scientist, you must read it and internalize the importance of not making any one demographic group the default to which all other groups must generalize.… (more)

How are we so bad at intersectional feminism still. The information in here is not surprising if you're a woman, even if it's infuriating. What's more infuriating is the way trans and nonbinary people are completely ignored. You'd think we'd learn our lesson being excluded from so many aspects of the world that we shouldn't be excluding anyone else, but that's not the case here sadly.

Quite a masterpiece. Abundance of clear examples to prove the hypothesis. Makes you open your eyes in everyday situations.
Though, on several instances correlation seems to be mixed up with causation.
