this.
she was avoidant, never claimed it. the media jumped on it when they heard the story and amplified it to mythical ridiculousness. when it was outed that she did almost no work, they shifted to falsely claiming she did the key work. then people went through the code because it's public, and no, she didn't do the key work either.
the soyboy went along with the feminism narrative because he's a loser feminist ally himself who thinks being a male feminist will get him laid.
the media narrative was never true in the first place.
okay, but did she come out and disavow the original story? or is it only when it became clear that she could not take false credit by remaining silent, that she "regretted" it? if people didn't start digging, do you think she wouldn't have tried using the "smart woman creates black hole" story to advance her career?
yeah, she absolutely didn't ask for this, but rather than immediately setting the record straight, she tried benefiting from it. I've seen many cases like this and none of them deserve sympathy.

Fewer.
Hey, he makes numbers. If you wanted good words you shoulda looked for a languager.
That's a meme anyway.
He works in an often thankless field that advances human knowledge, and should be lauded for that.
However, that is definitely the look of a guy who convinces himself he is only single because there aren’t enough women in his field.
He's been subtley overdominated by a parent.
He's capable of figuring things out and changing, so he probably would stop being single if he had enough exposure to women his age to realize they don't actually respond well to poor fashion and endlessly letting himself be rolled over.
Depends in whether he could gain the perspective to understand what's actually going on, or whether he remains to self conscious about it to realize it.
He's skinny, he probably is drowning in pussy.
I find it funny that the media have to cherry pick and create a fictional character for their drama 'based upon real events' reporting. Truth was, some of the earliest coders were women and most of those stopped because they got out-competed when men joined the field as part of the computer/video game revolution. Of course, the real and successful women aren't the ones they want to focus on, even when they choose to look at history, instead doing the same creative writing/editing to them as they do modern women, ala Lovelace and Katherine Johnson.
Women were in the field - when coding was simple (primitive computers were so slow you could only do so much).
Women left the field - when computers got faster and coding got complicated.
Men started leaving field - when coding got to complicated even for them.
Coding made a lot if money - so men invented ways to make coding simpler.
Older women wanted to move into cushy high paid management positions so they used "women in coding" to provide cover.
I could write a whole wall of text on the various things women go through to get out of coding once they realize what it's actually like - women still don't actually want to be in coding for the most part. Men often reach this same point around their 30's or 40's where the tedium starts to get to them and they try to move into other positions - management, sales, anything else.
You missed the first step: Women were the field. The word computer originally referred to a person, usually a woman, who would sit at a desk and make simple and mind-numbingly repetitive calculations. Then, men figured out how to automate the job.

Makes sense.
