BBC leaders resign amid scandal over misleading edit of Trump speech Two top leaders at the BBC resigned on Sunday amid an escalating scandal over impartiality and bias that plunged Britain’s public broadcaster into one of its biggest crises in recent years. CNN's Brian Stelter reports.

Male bias in medical trials risks women’s lives. But at least the data gap is finally being addressed | Caroline Criado Perez
The first step, they say, is admitting you have a problem, and on that front the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has made some much-needed progress. The agency, which is responsible for approving all clinical trials in the UK, has identified a “notable imbalance” in trials conducted between 2019 and 2023: there were nearly twice as many all-male trials as all-female trials.
Weekend reading: No green shoots in this Spring Statement
What caught my eye this week. A lot of water has flowed under Westminster Bridge since a UK chancellor was able to stick to their plans for a year. Rachel Reeves didn’t even manage that. Since her Budget last October – and contrary to previous aspirations to return to a once-a-year cadence – we’re told the numbers had already changed enough that something had to be done.
Weekend reading: Business as unusual
What caught my eye this week. A long-time Monevator reader asked me this week why we haven’t written something in the vein of the Covid crisis Do Not Sell special that inspired a thousand (okay, four) T-Shirts? The quick answer is – as my co-blogger The Accumulator said on that day in March 2020 – we don’t like to get involved in day-to-day market commentary. Especially not for passive investors. This isn’t just because we don’t think we have much insight into where the market will go next.
Weekend reading: Keep it simple, slugger
What caught my eye this week. Donald Trump’s antics finally tipped the US stock market into a correction this week, defined here as a 10% fall from the highs in the S&P 500. The median US stock did even worse, posting a 20% decline. According to Bloomberg, this 16-session losing streak was the seventh-fastest such plunge since 1929. However the US market bounced on Friday. And personally, I’m seeing few signs of real panic. Indeed why should there be?
Weekend reading: Now open! Get exclusive Monevator T-shirts and more from our store
What caught my eye this week. Nobody asked for it and now it’s here – the new Monevator shop is open, offering in-joke themed investing T-shirts and vaguely punny sweatshirts to all. Perhaps you’ve already spotted Monevator members striding about town sporting fancy wares like this: Yes, those cool cats got early access. Thanks to everyone who bought something and so beta-tested the new store for us.

Weekend reading: That's rich coming from them
What caught my eye this week. You don’t need to commission a full-on report to know that we all have wildly different ideas about money – and about how much of it is, well, a lot. And you don’t need to be a dedicated peruser of the personal finance Internet to know the rule is that the more money you have, the higher you set your number 11 on the That’s A Lot Of Money dial, either.
Neviditelné ženy - Caroline Criado Perez
O knize Neviditelné ženy JAK DATA A VÝZKUMY UTVÁŘEJÍ SVĚT PRO MUŽE. Provokativní kniha, která vás přiměje dívat se na svět novýma očima. Data jsou pro moderní svět zásadní. Od ekonomického rozvoje přes zdravotnictví až po vzdělávání, politiku nebo veřejnou správu — při rozdělování zdrojů i přijímání důležitých rozhodnutí se spoléháme na čísla. Značná část dat však nezohledňuje pohlaví — považuje muže za standard a ženy za odchylku.
Women's Day: How the other half lives - Rashmee Roshan Lall

Nnu Ego is twice married, having been cast aside for her alleged barrenness (in this instance, not having a child within nine months of the nuptials).

The best books about what it’s like to be a woman in this sexist, misogynistic world
Kate Manne offers the best definitions of sexism (men thinking they’re better than women) and misogyny (men punishing women for displeasing them) that I’ve ever read. And she brings receipts, showing examples of how these two things play out in everything from novels to politics to crimes to classrooms. Once I read her book, it was impossible for me not to spot more examples pretty much everywhere I went in the world. Why should I read it?
Reading Books By Women
We have a lot to say and the world should listen Lea Krusemeyer (she/her) // Staff Writer Sol Yoon (she/her) // Illustrator The author and philanthropist Gift Gugu Mona once said, “A wise woman does not keep her wisdom to herself. She shares wisdom with the world because she knows that through wisdom, many lives can be transformed.” Listen to what women have to say—many of us write and I urge you to read what we create.
The Bluestocking, vol 302: Secret societies, extra boyfriends
Happy Friday! Hope you’re keeping warm. I now live in these Thermal Trousers that recommended. Helen Reports of alumni-student schisms within Yale’s secret societies are nearly as old as the societies themselves. Every decade or so, especially when a member of the Bush family runs for president (George H. W. Bush was also a member), opinion writers argue that left-wing students have trampled the values that sustained societies.

Recommended Reading for Advancing Equity in the Planning Profession
Planning experts from a broad spectrum of backgrounds provide the basis for this book that asks planners to make equity the center of their practice. Equity, this book puts forth, has historically been rooted in the planning profession, but the growing socio-economic disparity between the wealthy and working class has prioritized the elites when in placemaking. This book proposes that planners realign their commitment to equity for all in their practice.
The menopause, the backlash - it's all interrelated
Last year, I was out at dinner with friends and I happened to be the youngest person at the table. We were all women, and every one of my dining companions was either menopausal, perimenopausal, or had been through the menopause. I felt like a younger sister, finding out about something secret that awaited me in a not far-off future.

“Women Aren’t Oppressed,” Someone Said To Me The Other Day

Women use emojis the most, but world's fastest-growing language was all male until recently
Representational image | An emoji | WallpaperFlare Text Size: It’s tempting to think that the male bias that is embedded in language is simply a relic of more regressive times, but the evidence does not point that way. The world’s ‘fastest-growing language’, used by more than 90% of the world’s online population, is emoji. This language originated in Japan in the 1980s and women are its heaviest users: 78% of women versus 60% of men frequently use emoji.

How a bias in data could widen the gender gap
Think:Act Magazine Central Europe Caroline Criado Perez’s book Invisible Women calls for rethinking algorithms before it’s too late.

Leading thinkers are drawing attention to the hidden bias in the data we use to create our world.

Cutaneous Drug Eruptions in Pediatrics-A Primer
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are commonly seen in the pediatric population in both inpatient and outpatient settings and are important to identify, evaluate, and appropriately manage. Early recognition and proper classification of a cutaneous drug reaction allows the clinician the ability to narrow in on a culprit drug and determine whether the medication is safe to continue.

We Need to Close the Gender Data Gap By Including Women in Our Algorithms
Did you hear the one about how aid workers rebuilt homes after a flood—and forgot to include kitchens? How about the entrepreneur whose product was dismissed by funders as too “niche”—but whose femtech company, Chiaro, is now on track for more than $100 million in 2020? Or the female sexual-dysfunction drug that was tested for its interaction with alcohol on 23 men ... and only two women? Not finding any of these funny? Maybe that’s because they’re not jokes.

How male bias in data collection puts female lives at risk
What was the spur for writing the book? It was almost inevitable that I ended up writing this book, given that the gender data gap is a real thing. And because of the way that I came into feminism, which was discovering that I had a gender data gap in my own head. I went from having not been a feminist at all – having been quite a misogynist, and fully buying into the cultural representation of women, but thinking that I was different: not trivial or silly or over emotional, like other women.
