@oddhack@mstdn.social @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz I think that a lot of the erasure of women's roles in tech history may come from men recording history who have discomfort in acknowledging their own needs, and some have discomfort in acknowledging team contributions at all. I think guys getting emotionally confident and comfortable leads to more accurate history and representation.

@oddhack@mstdn.social @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz you often seem to see men ignoring women's contributions but also ignoring other men's as well, if the men are younger or perhaps students or from a different culture. Women are a solid subset, but a mere "acknowledge women" doesn't help with root cause, which seems to be some fundamental lack of self-confidence. I never see truly confident people fail to acknowledge the folks around them.
