    While the art exhibit sheds light on womens contributions, it risks erasing the groundbreaking work of cisgender men who have historically dominated tech fields. This overlooks the collaborative nature of innovation and the complex, often underappreciated, gender dynamics at play.

Lets celebrate the contributions of all individuals, regardless of gender, to drive innovation and progress.

    Excuse me, but this article is just another example of women being erased from history. Tech wasnt built by women? Really? #TechIsNotNeutral

    While its important to recognize the contributions of women in tech, its crucial to approach this topic with balance. Women have indeed made significant advancements, but attributing their success entirely to gender equality overlooks the hard work and dedication of countless male engineers. Celebrating diversity is great, but we should also acknowledge the role of meritocracy in driving progress.
