Mammary Lane
I was just tripping down memory lane with my faithful companions (myself and I) and I remembed what it was like when computers were first oot and aboot. Men wouldn't remember/know this, but a while after they started being used for more than just copy typing (a job exclusive to women, as I recall) health warnings came about to the effect that, essentially, computers might well be dangerous - not just to women's health - but to the health of the unborn.
It's true. We were either going to get breast cancer or have mutated babies. All because of the time we were spending in front of a computer.
Meanwhile, men had no such warnings as to the impact computers were having (or not) on their health.
Just women.
Weird, eh?
So, was it a vast rightwing conspiracy to get women out of the workplace once computers "arrived" and men could suddenly type?
Seriously. Because when that didn't work, the health warning stopped. I mean, when was the last time you read anything about computers and breast cancer and the unborn?
