Her claim that "“don’t ask for permission” is a dangerously rapey lesson to teach young men" is rather bizarre, given that the expression is attributed to Grace Hopper (specifically "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper) It's extra ironic that Kate Losse complains that the work of women in computer science is ignored and erased, while not recognizing the contribution of Admiral Hopper.
