      plus he literally tried to snotnose the official twitter of the US Cyber Command posting something that is deeply within their field in their offical capacity for women’s history month. It does rather present him as acting in bad faith

          She invented the foundation of the technology

          We call Alan Turing the father of modern computing, because he invented the foundation of the technology

          Women more directly involved wouldn’t be the “mother” of the technology, they would be the “creator”

              Einstein didn’t lay the foundation for the technology, he laid the foundation for the standard model. We call him the father of modern physics. He made the math work, the bomb was already being developed by the Germans. He didn’t come up with the idea, he didn’t come up with the technology, he just consulted.

              Oppenheimer built and led the team that built the bomb. The theories weren’t complete, the technology didn’t exist, no one had laid out an equation that enabled the technology - they did all that in the Manhattan project.

              Every person called the father or mother of <field of science> is a hero, in both the literary and personal sense. They represent looking at something in a new way - their name is an embodiment of a certain way of thinking.

              You took a shot at that for no reason

                  I really have no idea why you’re acting like this is a common argument people get into…

                  This is a very old and organic tradition you’re criticizing as an outsider. It’s given by the community as a person’s contributions change into a legacy that will inspire new generations and ingrain respect for the shoulders you stand on

                  Without understanding the what and why, you’re arguing against a cultural practice in the scientific community. I’m trying to give you context, and you keep trying to poke holes instead of trying to understand
