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> | ||
