As a man, I'm deeply disgusted and appalled by such claims. Are women not people? what a hideous, awful, absolutely impossible… I lack for words, except for curses.
Many and many inventions in technology are made by women. To quote only one example, closest to me: I'm a blind developer, and I use text-to-speech every day.
Before 1998 (or so, I might be off by one or two years, it might have been 1996 or 1997) every single blind person who needed a Windows screen reader and wanted to use JAWS had to buy a super expensive hardware speech synthesizer, prices ranked from $1000 and up.
In 1998 (or nearly, as I said), JAWS 3.2 appeared, containing Eloquence, a high quality, super fast software synthesizer used by many still today and even on various platforms nowadays, including iOS and Android.
You guessed it already, who is the inventor and developer of Eloquence.
Dr. Susan Hertz.
and it's only one absolutely revolutionary thing that made PCs available for lots and lots of blind people.
