Alexa: Play “This Is A Man’s World” by James Brown

Abstract

From medication to cell phones to apparel, almost everything in the world has used men as the standard. Surgical instruments are designed for a man’s hands (Wiklund et al., 2006). Car seats are manufactured to protect a man’s body (Bergmann, n.d.). Artificial Intelligence speech recognition is engineered to detect a man’s voice (Feast, 2019). Workspace temperatures are based on a man’s metabolic rate (Goldberg, n.d.). In short, women are living in a world designed for men.
