The patriarchy is the reason you know the names Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk, but you've never even once heard the name Evelyn Berezin.
@LadyDragonfly I don't think that's true. Dennis Ritchie died the same week than Steve Jobs. He invented C and Unix, the two key technologies used to build every modern technology that we know today and still use (notably all operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, ios, Android ...). He is a man, and most people never head of him. The big difference between your list of unimportant men and him : they are rich, he was not.

The patriarchy rewards the achievements of men with wealth, power, and fame at the exact same time that it dismisses the achievements of women as inconsequential, incidental, and forgettable.

Dennis Ritchie died a multimillionaire who was written about in Forbes. Evelyn Berezin literally had a job offer working for the New York Stock Exchange retracted after they found out she was a woman, despite being the only person on the planet qualified to do that job.
