The theory, often claimed, is that "X" is a man's world.
As I am sure you understand, all it takes is one data point to falsify a theory. I have provided dozens of well known women that have made enormous progress for computing. It took me about 30 seconds.
So for "X" equal computing, the theory fails, it is busted, it should be an ex-myth, pining for the fjords.
In fact, from its very beginning, by which I mean its VERY BEGINNING, women have played terribly important and substantial roles in computing. How is it you are unaware of this? It really is common knowledge.
Showing that there are lots of well known men will do nothing to prop the theory up.
I suggest you might have a more enlightening experience asking yourself why the busted myth persists.
- jessedhillon 15y agoYour base assumption is false. You think that a single case, or a handful of cases, can disprove the claim because you think the claim is of the type "for all {men, women, industries}" and therefore you think that one, single point can disprove the claim. Actually, the claim -- as with most human problems -- is of a probabilistic nature and subject to statistical reasoning. That you think your insistence of the application of binary logic to interpersonal relationships is an enlightened approach is astonishing, and makes me wonder whether or not you're a psychopath.
