Recognizing the specific contributions and presence of women in the field seems entirely reasonable given how throughout the history of our industry they have been erased.
And of course, we're not even a month of a self-implosion event at Uber, where we see a lot of corroboration of workplace harassment claims.
If you need to be told "not all men" you can maybe write a chrome extension so that it subs "men" to "men (but of course it should be clear from context: not every single man ever or currently)" and that'll cover you.
- HiResSleep 10y agoWomen's achievements have been acknowledged and cherished throughout history. Marie Curie was the first individual (not woman: human being) to receive two consecutive Nobel prizes. How is this possible in a world that "erases" female achievement? but you know this. I'm sure you could rattle off many more examples than I know of of women whose achievements we've cherished, completely oblivious of the contradiction, if I merely uttered something along the lines of "men invented everything". You are racketeers, nothing more and nothing less. You're the ones who scare women out of STEM fields by conjuring illusions about how awful it is and how the world will never value their contributions because they are women. It is pure fiction. However, it's very good for people who want to profit off of women's suffering. You convince them that the world hates them, they recede from participating in it, and you get to point at this as further evidence that the world hates women. Rinse, repeat. Women are merely the coal for your engine. The true misogynists wear feminist clothing.
