The first computers were mostly women so… (originally being a computer was a profession which basically meant being paid to do calculations.)
No no no. Silly! Women were tied to stakes and burned as witches if they were discovered to know how to do math.
And speaking of which, I’m surprised a return to that wasn’t part of project 2025.
Actually only two “witches” were burned, about 70% were acquitted and almost the rest were hanged. That’s atleast true in England, don’t know about the figures for the US.
As evidence of the computers comment here’s Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)
