Even if I couldn't name something without looking it up, it doesn't mean that women have never made meaningful contributions to society. All this tells me is that education system failed me by prioritizing inventions created by men (or credit taken by men).

Edit to add: What this question really tells me is "Why can't I name an invention made by a woman off the top of my head?" That's the real problem.

Computers, wifi and Bluetooth, so useless scrotes like you can now taunt women in more places than just in real life.

(see my third reply to read about some of the women behind computers and wireless technology, since a scrote tried it with me)

kevlar (bulletproof vests)

The woman who invented the imaging technique that allowed scientist to view DNA for the first time, Rosalind Franklin, and Ada Lovelace was the first applied mathematician working in computer logic. And Marie Curie who discovered the radioactive isotope.

I’d challenge him to name 50 inventions that he’s SURE were made by men. Bet he can’t do that.

This is the problem with default=Penis(male). 🙄

Men steal women's inventions as there own and take all the credit.

SuccessfulAppeal333 · 2020-11-10T16:57:36+00:00

I'm not sure why this argument is actually important.

First of all, women aren't huge credit seekers, because we don't need to constantly justify our existence.

Second of all, women are as intelligent as men, and we have proven so again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

We know we have worth.

If a man doesn't know it, maybe he's just an idiot?

If men, as a class, don't know it, then maybe they are just idiots?

Lmfaoooo what an excellent clap back. But also off the top of my head? Uh, Marie fucking Curie and radiation therapy? Jackass lol. Also Madame C. J. Walker and I think it was hair straightening products? She was the first American female black millionaire. And another one off the top of my head is the windshield wiper.

The entire field of astrophysics.

GlassesForSale · 2020-11-10T19:26:29+00:00

Just off of the top of my head I can think of the first computer algorithm, the first computer program, Bluetooth, medical syringe, immunosuppressive drugs, and the bulletproof vest.

vietnamese-bitch · 2020-11-10T19:53:38+00:00

Males have had a very long history of stealing all the credits from women scientists/inventors and they have the audacity to say this shit.

oh_shit_oh_fuck · 2020-11-10T21:19:13+00:00

The earliest evidence we have for the creation of a calendar were made by women.

What man needed to track 28 days?

granddaughterwitch · 2020-11-10T17:30:15+00:00

Computers 🤷

redwineandsolitude · 2020-11-10T20:04:44+00:00

The head of vaccine research and development at Pfizer is a woman named Kathrin Jansen... meaning that a research team SPEARHEADED BY A WOMAN could end this horrible pandemic. Oh and it’s totally fair expecting women to roll out inventions with the exact frequency as men WHILE denying us the same education and professional opportunities.

Fitncurly · 2020-11-11T02:32:47+00:00

The entire field of medicine...if men were primarily the hunters and women were the gatherers (ie. herbalists) and midwives (ancient doctors), then women paved the way for the entire medical field. We STILL take ancient plant knowledge (first discovered by medicine women) and apply it to modern medicine or use it to make modern medicines.

Hedy Lamarr improved the design of traffic lights and invented a way to send control signals to naval torpedoes that could not be jammed https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr

Niceforwhatthrowaway · 2020-11-11T00:40:30+00:00

They know women invented some things, but if you don’t know it off the top of your head then I guess it doesn’t count?

Also, men always have amnesia when it comes to history.

madamejesaistout · 2020-11-11T00:56:12+00:00

This is hard because men take credit for women's work...

TexiMcCrae · 2020-11-11T01:59:18+00:00

Marie Curie is so disrespected by that post...

Kristeninmyskin · 2020-11-10T19:28:57+00:00

Windshield wipers.

typeadhd · 2020-11-10T21:15:26+00:00

I had an entire argument typed out but I’m just too tired at this level of audacity and tone deafness that I can’t even bring myself to comment

atuan · 2020-11-11T00:03:48+00:00

If you said tell me something I mean invented without looking it up either. I literally don’t know who invented what without looking it up. I guess Edison “invented” the lightbulb but also wasn’t there a massive controversy about that as well?

Optimal_Grapefruit_5 · 2020-11-11T12:16:13+00:00

Glad he recognizes female contributions to society are kept on the hush when it comes to mainstream history books so one has to go the extra mile /s

2020-11-11T12:45:41+00:00

I can name maybe like 1 inventor of a thing at all (largely because inventions are made by teams, not individuals, but I digress)

...and that one thing is the coffee filter! Which was invented by a woman! I know this from reading the coffee filter box while waiting for my coffee to brew.

geoffersonstarship · 2020-11-11T16:17:35+00:00

the computer and WiFi he’s using to be sexist lol
