Source for your first claim? All the charts I’ve seen online (see [1] for an example) show that the other Anglophone countries you’ve listed now have more doctors per capita than the US. (It looks like this was not the case in the past.) [1

Making tech and gaming more inclusive for women isn’t something that just benefits women — as your comment shows it can benefit men as well.

I think it’s because focusing on the pipeline problem focuses on the parts of hiring that a company doesn’t have control over. Those decisions often happen in high school and tech companies don’t have direct influence in these decisions. In

Yes, this is exactly the pattern you see in the r/c25k subreddit. Lots of people hit a wall (usually around week 5 or 6, where you start running for longer stretches of time) because they’re running too fast. The most unintuitive part
