As is yours: I understand they wanted to highlight the significance of the victory and saying she was the first was helpful towards that... I am saying the reason it was helpful in highlighting the significance of the victory is by creating a false impression while using a technically correct statement. Contrast with a scenario where the author would assume most if the audience was knowledgeable about history, and the highlight no longer has any effect.

Yes - you can say it's people's fault for not knowing the history of women leaders throughout the world.
No - that doesn't exempt the meme author from an attempt to deceive people reading it by utilizing that ignorance.

People don't have a problem, you have a problem. You misunderstood what was being said and now you're trying to shift the blame like a fucking lawyer... or pedant.
Now you can have the last word.
