Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Book cover "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado Perez
It's good to get angry about the patriarchy every once and a while. Women's lives are harder because research data is predominantly based on men, and men are still outnumbering women in board rooms. #Invisiblewomen
