That reminds of a while back when Issac Asimov published a referenced work on famous scientists in history.

A group of feminist editors and reviewers excoriated the work and demanded that he rewrite the work to include famous women scientists.

At first, he simply informed them that there were no famous women scientists but they would have none of that and harangued him incessantly.

Finally, he gave in, went back to his research and came out with a second book chock-full of famous women scientists that no one had ever heard of.

Isaac, sorry; it was my father's name also, my fingers are bad.
