History of Feminism

"Men and Machines in American Technology". It was one of these team taught "side" courses that people took to fulfill a humanities requirement for engineering students. The two profs were men with one from the school of engineering and one from the school of history. During the first class when they were basically introducing what we would cover the one guy from the history department volunteered to the class of about 20 of us (there were multiple class periods offered per week) that the reason the course was titled that way was that the course had been developed by the two of them along with all of the course materials. The man followed this by saying that it didn't say Men and Women because there had been no advancements in technology where women were responsible. This was at a time when the University was supposedly doing a big push and outreach for women in STEM degree programs.

It goes to show several things. One is that an a**hole with an education is still just an a**hole and that just because some people read tons of books in their chosen field and have multiple Phd designations it doesn't mean they know the truth.
