I don't know the author's race or gender, but I do know this is flaming garbage. Judging by character: we're advanced here in 2019.

Anyway, if you actually care about the few women who were involved (and you're not, that's not what this is about), here are some of their stories.https://t.co/vwT6vJSuuC https://t.co/k0bN7YSnpf
