Feminists hold up female engineers such as Margaret Hamilton, as 'powerful' examples of women being ''pioneers''.<ref>https://fstdt.com/QBYG.YC9QZF8J#comments</ref>  These feminists usually don't elaborate on how this applies to any large portion of women.  Nor do feminists acknowledge that engineering such as computer engineering is not seen as, "discovery", type academic work.<ref>http://www.bu.edu/eng/about/dean-lutchen/engineering-is-not-science/</ref> But rather, more to do with relative and temporary societal concerns.
Feminists hold up female engineers such as Margaret Hamilton, as 'powerful' examples of women being ''pioneers''.<ref>https://fstdt.com/QBYG.YC9QZF8J#comments</ref>  These feminists usually ignore the fact that these were still only a tiny minority of women.  They also ignore that engineering such as computer engineering was not seen as proper academic work, but subordinate to physics and mathematics.<ref>http://www.bu.edu/eng/about/dean-lutchen/engineering-is-not-science/</ref> Also early computer engineering had an overlap with data entry and textile work, which were traditionally female domains.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#There_is_no_significant_gender_disparity_in_STEM_graduates_by_sex_in_the_U.S</ref>
