Numbers for Sexist Doubters

India is going through a horrendous second wave. For a while, I just followed case counts, instead of really reading the news because it kept me from breaking down. For me, numbers can de-humanise. But numbers are also really powerful. When I encounter a gender gap doubter, it’s helpful to throw “proof” their way. So this week, I made you a list — for when you might encounter doubters. Forward widely.
