    Yeah, no way to know what gender someone had so we just pick one based on our twisted worldview where some gender must be better than other because reasons.

        In which words did I choose which gender that inventor was?

            I am as upset with suggesting it was a man, as some may try to do.
            Maybe my comment sounded weird with just the context of the post, but I wrote it also with other comments in mind.

      Not sure why you got down voted because you are absolutely right

      • we don’t know
      • society ascribes everything to the male

      If we defaulted to “he or she (they probably)” then things would be better but we simply don’t. It is always the man’s contribution and it’s disappointing

        We should have a neologism for gender neutral version of “mankind” definitely.
        I am just this one person always pushing a stick into an anthill every time gender is assumed out of preference and getting all the hate from both sides.
