Let me set the scene: me, at work, doing work. My boss starts chatting me up. He's a chatty cathy. Somehow the conversation drifts to international travel. I mention how I visited Thailand once. His response?
Him: "Oh, did you go hooking around there?"
Me: "What?! Ew! No, gross!"
Him: "What's gross about it?"
The conversation takes another turn. Suddenly he's trying to convince me that only men have ever done anything to contribute to civilization, ever. I point out it's a joint effort.
Right before I leave for the day, I send him an email titled "Thought you'd find this interesting," listing 50 inventions made by women, highlighting Hedy Lamarr and Ada Lovelace.
The smartphone he uses every hour of every day was made possible only with the inventions of women.
