An old article, but I just stumbled upon it and found it enlightening. The trope of criticizing women for the way they talk has deeper implications than I thought.

So, so many things have similar design flaws for similar reasons.

Within medical devices & systems, it possibly has the gravest consequences, but all of it combines to add extra stress to those who are not from the dominant group.

It seems now that education is starting to catch up with the curve of reality, mostly because intake has become more diverse than in the padt, but I gather there is still resistance.
