Niche complaint, but AI just spoilered Anna Karenina for me, so add that to the list of its many crimes

What do witches and babies have to do with the backlash against DEI?

This week’s Invisible Women newsletter is a rather sprawling essay that represents my attempt to answer exactly that question.

If anyone is able to share a copy of the now offline FDA guidance on including underrepresented populations in clinical trials with me I’d be very grateful. Apparently ensuring medications work for women is part of the “woke” agenda now.

What if we've been talking about representation all wrong?

When we talk about gender in leadership, we usually talk about female <under>representation. But what if we should instead be talking about male <over>representation?

“The potential for these laws to be used in the furtherance of violence against women has been shamefully absent from the assisted dying debate.”

This is an extraordinary piece. If you thought you had an informed opinion on assisted dying, give this a look.
