plus he literally tried to snotnose the official twitter of the US Cyber Command posting something that is deeply within their field in their offical capacity for women's history month. It does rather present him as acting in bad faith

She invented the foundation of the technology

We call Alan Turing the father of modern computing, because he invented the foundation of the technology

Women more directly involved wouldn't be the "mother" of the technology, they would be the "creator"

Einstein didn't lay the foundation for the technology, he laid the foundation for the standard model. We call him the father of modern physics. He made the math work, the bomb was already being developed by the Germans. He didn't come up with the idea, he didn't come up with the technology, he just consulted.

Oppenheimer built and led the team that built the bomb. The theories weren't complete, the technology didn't exist, no one had laid out an equation that enabled the technology - they did all that in the Manhattan project.

Every person called the father or mother of is a hero, in both the literary and personal sense. They represent looking at something in a new way - their name is an embodiment of a certain way of thinking.

You took a shot at that for no reason
