Beauvoir lets you set avg and lower bounds and choose countries from which to draw data. It's important to note that many people identify as neither a men nor a women. It's important, too, to note that many people who do identify as male or female have names that
are held by far more people who identify as another gender. All of these people deserve not to be misgendered in public (or in private). Nevertheless, automatically classifying people by apparent gender can be a very useful tool to perform censuses of communities or publications to detect and quantify perhaps-invisible bias. VIDA is a pioneer in this field, but their "Count" is limited by a manual methodology that depends hundreds of person-hours of labor. There is a place for more automated counts and Beauvoir can help, but if you do a count like this, you should be careful in how you word your findings not to misgender anyone in particular and be responsive to the possibility of errors. %package doc Summary: Documentation for %{name} Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} BuildArch: noarch %description doc Documentation for %{name}. %prep %setup -q -n %{gem_name}-%{version} %build # Create the gem as gem install only works on a gem file gem build ../%{gem_name}-%{version}.gemspec # %%gem_install compiles any C extensions and installs the gem into ./%%gem_dir # by default, so that we can move it into the buildroot in %%install %gem_install %install mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{gem_dir} cp -a .%{gem_dir}/* \ %{buildroot}%{gem_dir}/ %check pushd .%{gem_instdir} # Run the test suite. popd %files %dir %{gem_instdir} %license %{gem_instdir}/LICENSE %{gem_libdir} %exclude %{gem_cache} %{gem_spec} %files doc %doc %{gem_docdir} %doc %{gem_instdir}/README.md %changelog * Mon Apr 18 2022 mockbuilder - 0.0.3-1 - Initial package
