Media today 90

Listening: Ich weiß was, "Albert E. erklärt die Eisenbahn," 38:30-52:00.

I have to partially take back what I said about sexism in my last post on this audiobook. At about 40:00, the mother takes over the explanation of the freight yard to the children. So there is some gender balance in the representation of technical knowledge. But only partial. For why does the mother know so much about freight yards? Because her grandfather worked in one and took her there as a little girl. So her knowledge is secondhand experience of male primary experience with technology.
