    Not really sure what you’re getting at here. Turing was found guilty of a crime introduced to parliament by MP Henry Labouchere and passed by an all male parliament. Men had basically full control of society, and in fact a man was the one directly responsible for the situation surrounding the investigation that lead to Turings trial. The person you’re responding to is adding that women were involved in code breaking and noted that this fact had far reaching implications throughout society. Though the UK is quite white, plenty of black women were affected by both the war and sex discrimination. Women tend to be more proLGBT, and the person you’re responding to mentioned how DEI on the whole is important. You being dismissive of the work women put in and how that affected society doesn’t really add much to the discussion.

    It’s important that society move away from the “great man” theory of history, and context like the one the above commenter provided is needed for that pivot.

      Nicely put response to a low effort accusation. Thanks for putting in the effort to explain to frizzo what they overlooked. A shame they choose to double down on their ignorance and look like fool.
