I didn’t know that. Leave it up to a woman to invent it though. Don’t remember ever seeing a guy do any typing back then.
I do remember during the early 1980’s one of the secretaries in our office was going to be out for several weeks so the regional personnel office got a really great temp to fill in.

Said “only a guy who was gay would even want to be a secretary”. Pretty funny looking back, particularly since many of us thought my boss was a closet gay.
