There is nothing scientific about The Great ADHD Myth? ‘documentary’ | Gina Rippon
Channel 4’s programme wastes a chance to ask important questions about how ADHD is diagnosed and treated, instead indulging in unscientific methods and conspiracy theories, says author Gina Rippon

“Pemberton built a documentary around the belief that ADHD just isn’t that real anyway and, in any case, shouldn’t be treated with medication, but he failed to offer any kind of plan B for people suffering.” Very much this. I don’t have ADHD, but people I love do & this discourse is harming them

As I remember London
As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube...

Quite astonishing how awful the latest Apple updates are. For every single one I’ve had to waste so much time reverting everything to make the device usable again. And WHO LIKES LIQUID GLASS???

If you're thinking, "They don’t deserve that," consider what your goal is. Is it to keep your enemies as your enemies, or to help people change their minds? If it's the latter, we have to lower the social and psychological cost of admitting error. /5

Why do Japanese men think housework won’t be automated, but Japanese women think it will be? Why is female but not male income associated with owning a dishwasher in Japan? & why has OpenAI suddenly got all feminist on us about unpaid care work? newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/whats-that...

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. newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/witches-an...

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?

Love to work in journalism, where you can deputy edit a political magazine, write multiple books, and write long investigative features, and a senior man in your industry still assumes you only write fluff because you’re a woman.

Women are considered “old” much younger than their male counterparts: women are old at 30, whereas men don’t drop into the dreaded “old” category until they’re in their 50s. In this week's newsletter I've written about "women of a certain age"... newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/middle-cla...

Whenever I read about this case I think of the Greer quote about how women don't realise how much men hate us and I think, it's not quite right. We know, we just can't bear to think about it most of the time. Devastating account by @victoriapeckham.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/article/5dee...

So here’s a very cool thing I’ve just been told about! This is a still from a Chinese film, released in the UK today (US release was yesterday). It’s a feminist buddy comedy called Her Story and there’s a scene where one of the protagonists talks about Invisible Women on a live stream!
