Male Privilege Kills
By An advertising agency has created the first-ever attachment designed to convert a standard CPR dummy into a female version.
The product, which has been produced by New York-based creative agency JOAN, was designed following a recent study by Dr Audrey Blewer which found that women suffering from a cardiac arrest in public are 27 per cent less likely than men to receive CPR.
The research determined that this is because people are often unsure how to navigate administering CPR around a woman’s breasts.
The sexist regulation of women’s bodies is not the only way in which misogyny is baked into the cake of our health care system. Kudos to JOAN for trying to fix this particular problem; their website offers more.
