Yes, indeed.
The invisibility of women might not be so much actual as perceived. How
many have had the experience of saying something in a conversation with
men, only to find that the response is exactly as if one hadn't spoken at
all? It's certainly happened to me - fortunately, not among my friends!
- and it's disconcerting, to say the least. Enough of that, and your
very existence becomes a theoretical contingency.
