But the adding of jam and cream does make them a bit cakey, yes...
Yes, and baking! You're all very very good at baking!

Women invented (among other things) bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, laser printers, tipex, bras, elevated railways, beehives, circular saws, the fridge, the rotary engine, oh and created ALL HUMAN LIFE!
Yeah. We men have started way more wars than you though.
It's true, you do win at the killing people, and sexually abusing small children, you're pretty good at that too! Don't do yourselves down.
Is this what an English class at university is like?
Actually, yes. If you're doing a module on gender or politics, and your tutor has a bit of a chip on his or her shoulder.

I might be doing a module on gender.

Ahem...
Fridge - Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde
Rotary engine - Felix Wankel
Laser printer - Gary Starkweather
Bulletproof vest - Casimir Zeglen (male)
Leaving Tipex (giggles), windshield wipers (and the car they went on was nothing in comparison), bras (that's fair enough), circular saw (based on a previous design by a Frenchman).
And you did bare all human life, which is very very clever.

Yes. Thanks for that.

Oh dear.

I suppose that could have much the same end effect, yes. Assuming that one has a suitable amount of kindling.
