I was with a cameras-on all-hands zoom meeting for my division at my workplace. Hundreds of people joined. I was wearing my "support liberal causes" T-shirt -- slogan says "When HATE is loud, LOVE cannot be silent."
The camera only showed me from the chest up, so everybody only saw "When HATE is loud". I got called out for it when the meeting was over.
Oh well. At least I wasn't the guy who showed up on camera naked and gave everybody a full frontal.

Reply to ELI5: how can the female to male population be almost 1:1 but men die more than women and the birth rate of men and women is almost equal (and the fisher principle doesn’t make sense because men have a higher death rate so how can it even out)? by noobia0009
It's close to even. But not exactly. The current population is approximately 51% female, 49% male. And that difference is almost entirely explained by the fact that women live longer.
Those extra 2% women are all elderly. The population of actually reproducing men and women is more or less equal.
