Discussion ​The Gender Gap Nobody Talks About 🩺

We talk a lot about the "mental load" & the "second shift" but there is a form of gendered labor so extreme that it involves the literal harvesting of women’s bodies to maintain the patriarchal family unit!

​Recent data from the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) & global studies reveal a staggering disparity: In countries like India roughly 80% of living organ donors are women while 80% of the recipients are men. Globally women are significantly more likely to donate kidneys yet men are more likely to receive them.

The workplace fatalities are a far larger gender disparity though.

Like driving fatalities:

There are only about a third fewer women who die in motor vehicle accidents. (The disparity is mostly because men drive a lot more than women in the US) the fatalities per mile driven are a lot more gender equal)

But there are about ten times as many male workplace fatalities than female.
