But you know, the language we use shapes the reality around us. If we always speak about men doing something and especially default to men when talking about fields where men are the majority, we maintain those structures and keep the image up.

This.

I don't know how many times I've talked with people who think we're all living in some kind of vacuum where pretty much everything which exists today is "natural" or "how it should be in the first place".

Many things we say, do and think are affected by the society we live in and people should start to realize that. Great article 👌
