But you’re kind of right that it’s not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman’s name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.
Also, you don’t necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:
FALSE => [statement]
Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.
But only men like set theory, so…
This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:
