The basic summary:
G-forces on an British fighter planes' fuel caused the engine to cut out during a tactically important nosedive.
This problem was fixed by a fuel constrictor, designed by a "diamond-in-the-rough" female engineer and motorcycle racing world champion.
She undoubtedly saved lives, but she didn't singlehandedly solve society's misogynistic views.
- fapjacks 5y agoAnd 50 years from now when I'm gone and the kids around here have grandkids, people will cherry pick shitty quotes from shitty people in 2021 about race or gender or whatever else suits their political aims and lots of people that remember 2021 will cowardly say "it was a different time" and yet there will be these problems of sexism and racism and whatever other isms. As if we didn't care about these problems in the 90s, or the 60s, or before. In fact, the Romans wrote about these very same problems. So then I think we are framing the problem in the wrong way.
