If an article doesn't say it will only be about men, but is then only about men, is it sexist? (I don't really have a firm result here, certainly some articles just happen to be about men, and others which should mention men).
- tomp 12y agoDepends on what's in it; an article about Nobel laureates that doesn't mention Marie Curie, or an article about the history of CS that doesn't mention Lovelace, Hopper or Liskov probably is. However, if history in a particular subject was made mostly by men, it's totally appropriate for an article about that history to mention only men. I don't know enough about history of gaming to judge this article on that merit (personally, I would only list 3 notable games programmers: Newell, Sweeney, Carmack, and a dozen or so games).
