my dad doesnt think so and I want to prove him wrong

Girls did create computer science, didn’t they?

And are better at it.

Little known fact coding, the bones of computer science, is a linguistic art. You are thinking and communicating in a different language.

Women are better at communication. I don’t know if it nature or nurture, but women are better at things which require using language to communicate. As such, women are much better coders, especially when coding is demystified and introduced in terms of being just another language.

Coding is not hard. It only appears hard because men have tried to use it as yet another way to establish themselves in their imaginary hierarchies. Coding is easy and the best work is done by groups working in teams.

P.S Guess who is also better at working in teams?

Not only that but women (in particularly young unmarried girls working in groups were the first computers. 

These are the “Harvard Computers” whose calculations defined our understanding of modern astronomy.

And here are some computers integral to the creation of the atomic bomb.

There was a MIT professor that moonlighted by teaching Engineering courses across the river. He told me that if you wanted to create something (we were talking about tech) that really worked well and was durable, you needed to put a team of girls together. The problem, he admitted, was that academia is skewed such that anything coming out of a team of girls will be dismissed before it can be judged on its merits. 

He went into a long speech about why women, in his experience, made the best teams. His long and rambling speech basically boiled down to women are more willing to put aside their egos to find the best solution to a problem. And are also far more willing to accept that the best solution can be a combination of a number of good solutions. 

at Bletchley Park, England, during World War II, 80% of the code-breaking personnel were women. They broke the cyphers of the Nazi war machine (Enigma is the most famous) and were crucial to Allied success. The tech ran so hot that the “huts” in which they worked were filled with ladies wearing just their bras and panties. This included the world’s first electronic computer, Colossus.

Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer.[1][2][3]
