Considering how this graph... Hmm... Shall we say... Takes a number of creative liberties with actual history surrounding these great women, doesn't this graph undermine its own message?

I don't know the context, but it sounds like the person your responding to says the achievements from these women are exaggerated in the meme, and by lying about the value of their contributions you're discrediting the "women in STEM" movement

I could take a gander as well, but they don't actually say anything substantive so I guess we'll never know.
