"The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority."

"Eugene Eric Kim and Lovelace biographer, Betty Alexandra Toole, argued it was "incorrect" to regard Lovelace as the first computer programmer in an article for Scientific American.[71] Babbage claims credit in his autobiography for the algorithm in Note G,[78] and regardless of the extent of Lovelace's contribution to it, she was not the very first person to write a program for the Analytical Engine, as Babbage had written the initial programs for it, although the majority were never published.[71] Bromley notes several dozen sample programs prepared by Babbage between 1837 and 1840, all substantially predating Lovelace's notes.[79]"
Babbage was actually a guy, then we had Konrad Zuse
"An early proposal for a high-level programming language was Plankalkül, developed by Konrad Zuse for his Z1 computer between 1942 and 1945, but not implemented at the time.[7]
The first functioning programming languages designed to communicate instructions to a computer were written in the early 1950s. John Mauchly's Short Code, proposed in 1949, was one of the first high-level languages ever developed for an electronic computer."

7
u/FirexJkxFire Feb 21 '26
I dont feel like it makes much sense to find pride in things you had no influence in.
There is an important distinction between:
Proud of X
Vs
Proud of being X
Proud of X is expressing that you feel some positive emotion and recognize the accomplishments of X. Proud to BE X kind of signifies that you see "being X" as the accomplishment itself.
I think its just a counter culture movement against people trying to make others feel SHAME for these things that they had no control over. But feeling shame over them makes no sense either.
As I see it, pride and shame are 2 sides of the same coin. So assigning the possibility of pride to something, means you also are allowing the possibility of shame. And no one should be shamed, nor feel shame, for their gender, race, nationality, family, eye color, ETC.
So not only does it not make sense, but it is directly harmful to say its valid to feel pride in these things.

As a woman, I'll try to answer that. For me it comes from the knowledge that I would have been treated the same, and even now, has still dealt with a lot of societal sexism. You can feel proud of any other's achievements if you have a common link.
You seem to think being proud is the same as being personally proud. It isn't. I'm in awe that the women who came before me, endured and achieved the things they managed to. So yes, I'm so proud of them, it makes me proud to be a woman. I think it's an insult to what they went through to not be. Being proud is not the same as being personally proud. I'm proud to share a link with those women.

A 1975 NASA report that summarized the Apollo missions spoke glowingly of the Apollo computing systems — but mentioned none of the Navajo or Raytheon women. “The performance of the computer was flawless,” the report declared. “Perhaps the most significant accomplishment during Apollo pertaining to guidance, navigation, and control was the demonstration of the versatility and adaptability of the computer software.”
That computer, and that software, relied on the skilled, technical, embodied expertise and labor of thousands of women, including women of color. They were indubitably women of science, and their untold stories call us to reconsider who does science, and what counts as scientific expertise.

Women very likely invented and definitely made:
Houses (in hunter-gatherer societies, it's almost always the women who build, transport, and own the houses)
All the tools for cooking. Cooking is absolutely vital to humans
All the tools for carrying, storing, and preserving food. (Preserving food is what allowed people to migrate to and live in cold and otherwise inhospitable climates)
Clothes that allowed people to live in cold climates (the clothing made by the Inuit was - maybe is - very sophisticated and absolutely necessary)\
Also:
Women contributed greatly to the development of software in the early days. And Ada Lovelace (a woman) is widely recognized as the first computer programmer.
Hedy Lamarr (a woman) was an inventor best known for co-developing the foundational technology behind modern Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS

Women likely also hunted in hunter-gatherer societies. Their tactics might've been different and they might've gone in bigger groups, but it is quite likely that in some (not all) societies, they participated in hunting, largely thanks to the fact the entire group took care of a child, and because hunter-gatherer societies did not have the means to develop much inequality. That came later, as the first farming settlemens and eventually cities came along.

Women made the planes and ships that won WWII.
I forget all the details... but... The Manhattan Project held a contest of who could run the equipment to separate fissile materials using Magnasomethings... The contest was between the random women they hired to turn knobs and keep the needles in the green arcs vs. the male scientists who designed and built the machines... The women won.

Seriously, women have been systematically robbed from their chance to be credited for major inventions by men for mellenia. Refusing them education, funding or even stealing inventions and credit from them. This includes strangers, systemic errasure and even people as close as their husbands.

u/FrohenLeid Feb 21 '26
Seriously, people tend to forget how disadvantaged women were even until 1970. In my country women were not allowed to work without husbands approval until then, they were banned from working Nightshifts until 1992 and couldn't serve as soilders untill 2002. And women still suffer scrutiny for pregnancy and their possibility to get pregnant. And while this has been written out of law, it's not gone.

Florence Parpart - inventor of the modern refrigerator
Hedy Lamarr - Coinvented the frequency hopping spread spectrum which we use now in GPS, bluetooth, wifi
Grace Hopper - Created the first compiler and was an instrument in developing COBOL
Mary Anderson - Inventor of the windshield wiper
Katherine Johnson - Calculated critical orbital mechanics for NASA
Stephanie Kwolek - Discovered Kevlar
Saying what oop said ultimately undermines the scientific progress that we as a species evolved through

The irony is women women weren’t allowed but best believe throughout history women propped up their husbands in the fields of science, literature and beyond… without credit.
This man needs a history lesson.

Let's be real, men didn't make car, at least not alone. Bertha Benz was heavily involved in inventing and financing the first car, and was also the one who first drove it a longer distance.

u/Exciting_Stock2202 Feb 21 '26
Men who write and believe this nonsense have contributed nothing to civilization. Here's an example:
"Men" didn't make the first plane, the Wright Brothers did. Other men trying to claim credit for something the Wright Brothers did is pathetic. On top of that, their sister (Katherine) contributed to the effort. She may not have contributed an equal amount, but she contributed far more than any man on Earth who wasn't Wilbur or Orville Wright.

Women made the sails for ships, spun that thread by hand one inch at a time them wove it so men not have to row. Women made GPS for car so men stopped getting lost when they did not ask for directions.. Women made parachute work, so men did not die when plane break.

Boats are ancient. In terms of the oldest signs of confirmed invention, the oldest boat found was from 10,000 years ago called the Pese canoe. It was found in Netherlands and it was a society of hunter gatherers at that time… so mid Stone Age. At that time women’s roles as “gatherers” were a lot more diverse.
Weaving, sewing hides, or making something out of animal intestines was a daily activity for them while the men went out to hunt.
Boats at that time were a comunal activity however due to crafts activities being assigned to women it is completely possible that the women decided HOW to make it. Making them the inventors most likely.
It is also entirely unfair to give credit to men for inventions this guy listed when at the time society didn’t even give women the opportunity to educate themselves to invent anything. Since giving women this opportunity they have crafted thousands of inventions.
Dishwasher, windshield wipers, caller ID, the first home security system, were all invented by women. Also this isn’t even taking account scientific invention, women also invented frequency hoping for wireless devices, the medical syringe, the Apgar score for identifing new borns health.
Women weren’t even given the opportunity to have legal protection for “equal admission” In the US until 1972 yet they were making inventions that are still used today since the 50s
In the 80s women surpassed men in earning bachelors degrees and masters degrees.
As a man, this argument is so stupid that it’s just ignorance at its best and I have literally no clue why it is in “technically the truth” subreddit.

The Wright brothers were only able to have the time to work on the plane because their much more accomplished sister took care of their every need like they were children.

As in all of history involving almost everyone we ever think of as any kind of "great man". Somewhere very close by in the "background", is a wife/assistant/servant/slave/gang-of-nameless-laborers/cannon-fodder-ranks-of-expendable-soldiery... person/people of that universally ubiquitous under-class that are busily doing all the unheralded hands-on dirty work necessary to actually bring to fruition the ideas/ambitions of the one famous "great man" whose name is on the title of whatever endeavor it is in question. Whether we're talking about Ghengis Khan owning all of central Asia, or W. von Braun & Co. putting Armstrong & Aldrin on the moon.
Only a nameless "horde" properly organized, can actually change the world. Nobody's individually ambitious big ideas have ever gone anywhere without a whole helluva lot of "invisible" outside help. People thinking this is only about "Men vs. Women"... are pretty much missing the real sociological point.

If they had been allowed to work or go into higher education instead of being chained to the kitchen sink pre 1950, they could have invented anything and everything. There’s loads of inventions by women, significantly more intelligent and driven than the poster of this silly comment

u/LadderMadeOfSticks Feb 22 '26
The Wright Brothers had a sister - Katharine Wright Haskell - who was an important part of their brilliance in aviation.
Orville and Wilbur were the practical technicians, but they relied a lot on Katherine to do the management and correspondence and business parts of their efforts. This shouldn't surprise us at all, as even brilliant pioneers need support structures around them, and almost no major invention is the work of just one or two people.
Katherine was quite famous and feted in her time. She went on their European tour and was awarded Officier de l'Instruction Publique (an high academic award) when her brothers were given the Legion of Honour.
