So every day, I ride a bike or drive my car - made by men - on streets made and maintained by men in a city ruled and protected largely by men.
I rent a little house built by men.
Almost everything I own is made by men.
I use a smart phone made and designed by men, and a computer made and designed by men, sit on a couch and watch a TV made by men.
A lot of my clothes were probably made by women, sure, but on sewing machines and other equipment made by men.
I buy stuff online - stuff made mostly by men - and ships and planes and trucks made and operated by men bring it right to my front door.
Even the boxes the stuff comes in were probably made by men.
And the credit cards I use to pay for it? The money I live on? I enjoy it all through the workings of a whole complex banking and economic system that I couldn't even begin to understand if I tried, a system designed - you guessed it - by men.
So, yeah, men do a lot for me every single day.
The least I can do is look nice for them and show them my appreciation and respect.
So thank you!
