Today a woman was looking for books about scientists and engineers for a 5th grade boy, and I suggested Ada Lovelace. She said, “oh he won’t like it, it has a girl in it.” I was like “……..she invented the computer…..” And the lady said, “still, girl stuff. Plus her name has ‘love’ in it and she has big ringlets.”
DISMANTLING THE PATRIARCHY BEGINS AT HOME. Please stop the madness that boys can’t think girls are interesting, important, or worthwhile figures - especially since girls are expected to think so of men!
What the actual fuck.
