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 women were still only a tiny minority. 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> | 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 women were still only a tiny minority.

Even though Western countries have invested billions of dollars in furthering female education, women's intellectual output relative to men does not seem to have increased to meaningful extent. Progress is largely made by a tiny group of individuals, which are predominantly men as it always was the case. Notably, gender-progressive countries have greater contribution of female achievements than less gender-progressive ones.<ref>''Sex differences in PISA: Some counterintuitive results.''
