• @kb: Just one thing. Unfortunately all words have political meaning now. If we can't even talk about "cultural war" or "cancel culture" which are clearly a phenomenon and we are branded as alt-right, then things like "white fragility", "patriarchy", even relatively more neutral things like the notion of "wage gap" will trigger the "Oh,. another SJW", which SJW is itself also considered an alt-right notion. There is no way to discuss these issues, and this is what I mean with "cultural war", this existing division exists and it's outside the demoscene, it's much bigger than us. If you were indoctrinated in one bubble and I am indoctrinate in another bubble, there is never a way we can have the discussion (but even the points and the propositions are opposite, one has to avoid certain terms, but it will still make the other side suspicious)

• Ok, maybe I shouldn't have reacted.
  
  I'd like to see thing from a higher level, we are just in two different bubbles. The cultural wars is a much bigger thing than the scene but it affects all the communities anyway. What sounds crazy to you makes sense to me and the opposite. What triggers me or make me react is music to your ears, and the opposite. There are more things I could react to what was said but it would bring back more replies and I would get stuck into an infinite loop.
  
  As a sidenote, I don't really want to bring down females achievements, I thought it was cool when I first heard the first programmer is a woman, there was no negative reaction, no hurt manhood feelings. I just don't like the social truth (what feels wholesome) over the actual truth. I think people who side on the opposite bubbles, there is a connection between personality traits and life experience and other factors that lead people to either of these bubbles. For various reasons I ended up in this one and from the outside it might look like outrageous that I would even listen to MRAs (not PragerU) and think they have something to say, while others could find disgusting I even associated with them. In the same way I find odd when I see the other bubbles people have stuck, but I try to think it's certain personality traits and experiences and beliefs that lead people to different things, that however divide the whole world. And maybe I shouldn't discuss these things, because what's there to gain than adding more oil to the fire, but here I am, is there any free will?

• I've watched that doc, it's not MarjonW, it's director is Gillian Jacobs (from Community) and I think she is kinda feminist and interested in the story of Grace Hopper. And near the end she was lamenting (or puzzled) that Grace Hooper never identified herself as a feminist.
  
  And stories about sexual misconduct are coming all the time especially in the me2 era. It's always perceived that it's coming from one side, that something must be wrong with men or at least nerds in these companies, it's a bit of propaganda at this point. I think that the notion of men=perpetrator, women=victims will never die. There is always something you can find to point out and say "See, that proves that women have it worse". And since men love women and want to protect women, this notion will never die because we have the tendency to always see it like this.

• @venom: The point, was someone posted a grace hopper comic depecting here like she ever cared about gender in her field..
  
  Anyway, this prod sucks anyway because it's so focused on that. Women don't need to think too much about gender when it's about coding and some of the pioneers didn't care even back in the 80s.

• Grace Hopper wasn't even a feminist. When doors were closed she would go to the next thing available. I think Roberta Williams was also of a similar mind. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4400852
  
  Ada Lovelace being the first programmer (or even a programmer at all) was a common misconception that is historically inaccurate. It just feels wholesome to say so. https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/technology/visionaries/ada-lovelace-original-and-visionary-but-no-programmer
