why did women leave the computer sector en masse? the extent of an average woman's computer knowledge is swiping left and right these days, as opposed to writing fucking code on the things.

Historically, it was actually extremely likely a black woman was the first to invent 1 + 1. It was either that or a black man.

Women never wrote code, men wrote code and women entered the code in the computer. However, competent women debugged programs made by men before it was entered in the computer, and even more competent women optimized the program as well so it would run faster.

Not at all. It is historically most likely the person was short and quite tanned, but definitely not black. Out-of-Africa theory has very long been debunked.

I'm sure you've got some citations with domains nobody outside of far right wing conspiracy circles has ever heard of lined up to "prove me wrong" and every other well known source and citation is wrong because it doesn't make your fee-fees feel good.

Or you could read a book and peruse scientific literature. Oops, sorry. Could is a bit of a strong word given your mental faculties.

If you're talking about actual software development, they didn't leave, they got swamped. Before the home computer revolution, women were a large portion of software developers but once computers started entering people's homes, young boys took to them while young girls got the ick from them. Those young boys grew up to be software developers while the young girls grew up to work in HR. The number of female programmers went up, but their proportion of the total went down. Feminists will claim this is due to home computer companies focusing on men but other than a few odd ball sexist ads, most computer ads of the time featured entire nuclear families, including mom and daughter, using the computer.

It's mainstream knowledge in China that out-of-Africa is wrong. That's over a billion people that you're dismissing because it doesn't fit the ideologically constrained views of your western liberal bubble.

Jobs evolve over time and job titles aren't always reflective of what a person does. Yes, there was an era where men with flow charts would create programs, write them out by hand, and then turn that over to women to encode into punch tape or cards. As the field grew from an academic novelty for a few hundred mathematicians nationwide into a business, women started getting into the actual development side of things. And as you noted, even when it was nearly all men doing the design, women made valuable contributions.

>women made valuable contributions.
Of course, my argument is only against the idea that women ever designed and wrote programs exclusively, a narrative that feminazis like to use (they then pretend men found that computers were actually cool so they told women to fuck off, of course all of it is a total anti-historical fabrication). It's the same idea with "men" and "women" in this context. In fact there were always some women who were interested in actually learning about computers and actually designing programs and shit. Think Lyskov, for example. But that's not the point. Women as a class were absolutely not ever writing programs.

Some non-human apes are capable of counting past two, and many of them have pale skin under their dark fur. Pale skin is actually the default for mammals if you think about it.
Some birds can also count past two.
Anyway, 1+1 was discovered, not invented.

computer girls (female) are already extremely rare as are competent blacks and computer blacks is very small subset of competent blacks so the intersection of all those, the mythical competent black computer girl (female) who is also interested in a relationship with (you) might as well not exist. And that's before you even add in other conditions like "attractive" .

So who reads all the CVEs to check if they're relevant? That's the dullest shit on the planet and it's a large part of literally any cybersecurity job. Does she just skip it?

intelligence doesn't always scale equally with brain size, much depends on how the creature evolved. dolphins are very intelligent but they are made to look like absolute retards compared to the intelligence of an orca.
