I saw this today and the most disappointing thing is that it isn't even surprising.

This is so depressing - and yes, not that surprising.

not surprised, on the whole woman generally seem to count for very little there.

That sounds alarming on first read, but this appears to be a tweet with no reference or context. Is there any further information?

Found an article referencing a study.

Things that don’t surprise me.

such depressing reading…

Thanks for telling us this sad news, OP. I’m glad the figures have been published. A perfect illustration of women’s barely-human status, seen like animals as resources to be used. This attitude also seems related to violence against women and girls.

And surrogacy, of course.

Given female organs are more likely to be rejected by male recipients, I wonder what the long term implications are for everyone involved.
