          it’s barely a scientific concept but yes, institutions are made by people, i wasn’t very clear. take your pedant medal 🎖️

    • You know, I can’t think of a single woman’s issue in which I have ever asked myself, “But what would a tweedy male intellectual who probably doesn’t interact with many women think of this?”
