The statistical analysis seems sound enough to me, though admittedly I don't know what "the Clopper-Pearson exact method" isComment

So I know that people think Ada Lovelace was the first programer. It's questionable, but I don't really care either way.
But Dr Sue Black (and the lesbian feminist hair-do makes me more suspicious about this...) says that she (Lovelace) invented the idea of programming.
Anyone know if this is true? It sounds to me like the machine had to have been invented to solve arbitrary problems in the first place.
Again... I don't actually care about the fact (other than in a general knowledge pub quiz kind of way), but of the group of militant feminists who frequently tell lies about people & history, a lot of them have either red or blue short hair. This one (if she is one of them) has red hair - which makes me think even more so that she must the on the dark side. Otherwise it'd be blue.
Given the incredibly privileged lifestyle Lovelace had relative the the vast majority of both men & women, it strikes me as remarkably sexist to suggest that we owe it to her to make sure that more girls get into it. Which makes me suspicious again.
Then again, the whole idea that there aren't "enough" women in IT is normally pretty sexist in the first place. If the same logic suggests that there also aren't "enough" male nurses, because we're short and men are put off doing it, then that's ok. But I never hear these people making that argument.
They aren't intreated in getting your mind into STEM - just your vagina.Comment
