Yes, Hedy Lamarr is a pretty cool historical figure. Stunning actress, film producer, and co-inventor of a form of frequency-hopping spread spectrum.

Yeah, it's  a bit ironical that she's remembered for her good looks and acting, when her contributions to the war effort completely overshadows that in what she contributed to the world. Says a few (not so nice) things about the world we live in.

 

But then, I was always of the opinion, that you should not be judged by who you're born as, but by your actions. People shouldn't be disadvantaged, nor privileged because of some kind of birthright (or the opposite). Judge each on their own actions or lack of (the latter bit being important too).

 

Now, enough of all those weird special minority group days... when is the privileged white male day??? 😢

September 18-19 is European Heritage Days. It looks us privileged white males get a whole three days. Shall we celebrate?

You mean humansplaing, right?

Considering how they will eventually be superior, humans would be the minority. So much for white male privilege.

Well at least as pets we can pick up our own poo.
