I think that Patriarchy no longer exists and even if I accept that it is real , it is quite weak now .

Why should history even remember women in the fields dedicated to them when men’s contribution is more than that of women in those field ? That's such a trashy opinion.

History doesn't just record who 'contributed more' ; it records who was allowed to contribute. For centuries, women were legally banned from medical schools, universities, and professional societies. Men held the exclusive right to document, publish, and name these procedures. The 'mothers' of these fields aren't just an abstract concept—they were real women like Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy, enslaved women who endured dozens of experimental surgeries without anesthesia so that the 'father of gynecology' could perfect his techniques. Acknowledging their forced sacrifice isn't a 'trashy opinion'; it's accurate history.
