Remember this?

Old Star Trek: “…to boldly go where no man has gone before…”

New Star Trek: “…to boldly go where no-one has gone before…”

I noticed, and to be honest - once my pattern-recognition subsystems adapted to that very minor cognitive dissonance - I was very glad to hear it. It also prompted me to think more consciously and diligently about similar mental shortcuts elsewhere in my life (and not just for gender equality), and bolstered my nascent efforts to be actively fallibilistic in all things - especially the things I am expert in, which are the hardest ones. It “raised the empathy bar” by way of ripple-effect.
