#booksky Any other women out there in Booksky land read “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez and find it problematic? I am trying to get through it but find myself really torn about it on a couple of fronts.🧵

First, bad info. Claim that “no country in the world” (p.79) has paid may leave between 7 mos - 1 year. False even in 2019. I’m a Canadian mom who enjoyed 12 mos maternity leave (each) for 2 kids born before 2010.
Second, gender-essentialist tone. I can see a through-line (intended or not, I have no idea) between the chapter called “Gender Neutral with Urinals” to today’s militant TERFS and the UK bathroom ban.
