Matty Matheson over this jabroni . <| sep |> One of these things that totally make no sense but someone thought it would be cool even tho its notStill , master nova is ugly . At least for me . That holo hair is the worst thing <| sep |> Or nightmarefuel for rhapas and rgoldenrace <| sep |> she didn ' t invent software still seems condescending to meIt ' s not condescension to state the truth . She ' s made awesome contributions , there ' s no denying that , and CS and software development in general would be very different today if it weren ' t for her . With that said , my point stands she did not invent software development , and that ' s my only gripe with the title . I ' m basically repeating what another comment stated . I didn ' t mean that the pat on the back is on Hamilton ' s back , that would be condescending on my part she ' s made more than enough to earn her keep . What I meant is that the writers of the article blatantly lied through exaggeration on the title as a clear way to promote women in tech not for Hamilton ' s benefit , but for the benefit of today ' s women and that sentiment is echoed in the article ' s content It might surprise today ' s software makers that one of the founding fathers of their boys ' club was , in fact , a motherand that should give them pause as they consider why the gender inequality of the Mad Men era persists to this day . So IMO the title exaggerated the part about Hamilton inventing software development to give today ' s women a selfesteem boost a pat on the back , wink and nod to them to try and fix the gender inequality of the field . I think that ' s condescending because IMO it ' s another way of saying let ' s lie a little bit here and say that women INVENTED software development to see if more women will join in today , which I think is totally unnecessary and actually condescending to women as if women were incapable to decide to do software development just because they might like it . It ' s like saying some man invented nursing and then say so we don ' t understand why nursing is such a girl ' s club nowadays and that should make women think about the gender inequality in nursing by giving an example of a pretty great male nurse that did a lot for the field but DID NOT INVENT it , just to try and get more men to become nurses . It ' s condescending to men that don ' t care who invented it , they might just care about taking care of people with a bonus of getting paid to do it . That ' s what I meant with it all , anyways .
