“Worth is a matter of opinion, and opinion is informed by culture. And if culture is male-biased as ours, it can’t help but be biased against women. By default”

Last chapter for the day.
Love the progress, and am curious to see how culture plays a role in all this. Computers were invented by 6 women?? They were the ones to do the coding because men couldn’t?? How did it end up being a male dominated job??
Endless questions…

Okay long time no update, but I am so involved in this book. Though now that we have come to the academic part, it really intrigues me. Coming from a technical university I see these things around me as a female a lot, and it is interesting to see the statistics behind it.

This book with this little pages has already shone so much ligt on the problem, and I am here for it! Especially as design is my field, it is important to know these things.
The male is seen as the universal, whereas the female is seen as the niche identity and the subjective point of view. The male POV is seen as absolute truth, universally. Women are set up to be dispensable, ignorable and forgettable.
Damn.
