Also very funny once again white woman championing a minorities obstacle leading to his death and making it about them. Oh that homosexual was put to death but white women had to lose their job and return to a life of "doing chores at home" good work woman after 50 years of struggling now you get to do both!
Put to death? What is this nonsense? It is thought that he accidentally poisoned himself.
Why did he kill himself? Was it because society forced him to mutilate his genitals as a baby like the rest of the western civilization? Was it something else?
Its thought he was experimenting and ate the poisoned apple by mistake.
Totally the British government would never lie about the evil they did. /S
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.
Yes a shame indeed. Such a fool the entire world will be laughing at him. ☠️
Yeah from your bullshit rambling response I can tell you don't understand stand what I'm getting at, Innit. Enjoy your awesome new society
This might be the dumbest thing I have read today. Alan Turing is a widely recognized name, but few people are aware that the vast majority of the people who worked for him in were women. That part didn't even make it into the movie. Nothing like this is ever done by one person, and its on you if you can't get your head far enough out of your own ass to see that.
Your lack of reading comprehension does not surprise me.
What part of your post do you think people don't understand?
I could draw you a picture but it would be a waste of ink. Maybe someday I'll be the dumbass whisperer but not today. Edit such a canned response you had to block me 😂 ☠️
In other words this is just your canned response for when you get called out for posting stupid shit.
