Jules she/herThis shouldn't still need saying in 2026 but all else being equal women are just as capable of doing anything - coding, understanding maths, running a company, training consistently as an athlete, doing science - as men are and you can't deny that and call yourself a feminist. But you also can't call yourself a feminist if you deny that everything else is not equal and the way society is currently structured women face more barriers to doing these things than men do.
secretsloth@afewbugs my former neighbor did computer coding on punch cards**, back when it was considered women's work. I dunno who might need to hear this, but it used to be women's work, before men decided oh, wait, no, this gives women too much power and influence to actually make decisions autonomously, and then it became "men's work." This is within living memory! And yet some people deny that women even have the capacity for it. Ridiculous.
**update, she has corrected me, paper tape
