I can't for long that is why am giving u a second mention.
I read what he typed.
I love the write up.
If u read d first thing I wrote on this thread, I told dat guy that he typed while veiwing d larger picture.
Now u use technology today, how many of those things did women invent?
How many solutions did women find to prevailing ailments?
How many machineries were designed or manufactured by women?
D list goes on.

Women have a place in d society and dat place is not what the feminists are talking abt, it will crumble d world.


These are questions I wish you would ask Google before making your assumptions. In spite of the fact that women have been undermined by men like yourself (and even other women who share your sentiments) to the point where many began to doubt and ignore their own potential, some women have had a major impact on technological advancement. Virginia Woolf says that money and "a room of your own" are vital for creativity; people who don't have to worry about where a meal is coming from or how to put it together can dedicate their lives to deliberate discovery. Women have taken the domestic pressure off men for years, and given them a conducive "room" to work their intellect while they (women) served as a support system. Before you think about saying that men were responsible for providing food and worked a hard shift, know that not all men have gone on to invent things. If a man showed promise, scholarships and grants weren't unpopular; but research shows that people with wealth are more likely to be innovative than people without it. https://qz.com/1167332/data-shows-us-inventors-arent-just-good-at-science-they-come-from-rich-families/

To whom much is given much is expected.

That's not to say that accidental discoveries don't happen; necessity, they say, is the mother of invention after all; and people stumble on all kinds of ideas even when they aren't trying. Maybe that's why women are still able to express innovation despite the odds; imagine what would happen if a woman's innovation were a natural expectation. They would definitely take themselves seriously enough to apply themselves intellectually.

Anyway, here's a list of inventions by women that have impacted the world.

1. Car heater: Margaret A. Wilcox (1893)
2. The fire escape: Anna Connelly (1887)
3 the life raft: Maria Beasley (1882)
4. Residential solar heating: Dr. Maria Telkes & Arc. Eleanor Raymond (1947)
5. The medical syringe: Letitia Geer (1899)
6. The modern electric refrigerator: Florence Parpart (1914)
7. The computer algorithm: Ada Lovelace (she's the first computer programmer)
8. The dishwasher: Josephine Cochrane (1887)
9. Wireless transmission technology: Hedy Lemarr
10. CCTV/home security system: Marie Van Brittan Brown (1969)
11. Central heating: Alice Parker (1919)
12. Kevlar: Stephanie Kowlek
13. Computer software: Dr. Grace Murray Hopper
14. Caller ID and call waiting: Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson
15. Stem-Cell isolation: Ann Tsukamoto

What this shows is that innovation is not solely a man's domain. The fact that it seems skewed in favour of men over women, or white men over black men, or rich men over poor men, is a factor of "who has been sufficiently enabled?" That is exactly what that research (link given above) tries to explain. But the impact women have had on medicine, philosophy, and science in general begins B.C. (Just read up on it). And even after such innovation was witnessed from the "weaker sex", intellectual prowess is still continuously considered "misplaced" in a woman by cultures determined to keep women where they want them. Religion is the go-to tool. And since religion is designed to endure till the end of time, we've got a never-ending battle on our hands to liberate women from automatic unconscious self-limitation and bullying.

I saw ur reply since noon, I just got in and I felt like replyn. I can't type for long so excuse my typos.
First of all I will like u to understand where am coming from.
I don't undermine women, making a point which I want u to get.
We do hear that there can't be two captains in a ship, so it is in d world, we have two sexes, both can't be equal, one lead the other follows.
The male sex leads while u feminists want it the other way round or u want the two to be equal.
The two can't be equal.
The male sex can weather a storm more than it's counter if they are at same level (understand this pls).
Now will u applaud any government for sending same number of both male and female soldiers to war in the name of equality?
Will u appreciate any govt to mobilize women to do same level of manual labour as the male?

Now am not just making assumptions, I think u picked me up from where I told a lady to mention five inventions by women.
Take note, I have been responding in respect to her comment not the topic of this thread.
U wrote a list of female rulers which I just overlooked due to the fact dat I won't have time to reply with long explanations if I say what I know abt them to strenghten my stand.
I do agree with many things u wrote abt civilisation and wealth, I agree totally.
I do agree certain innovations were accident, I agree.
Just like d dye we use today.

I would have gone ahead this weekend to make a research on ur list above if I hadn't discovered the following things in ur list of inventors.
1.that Walter Bruch first invented a certain camera called CTV that lacked a large recording feed or something close to that which Marie Brown worked on. It is on record that she and her husband first installed it.
The credit was given to both Bruch and Marie not just Marie u singled out.

so women don't hustle?
What about those widows that are hustling to feed and train their children?

Is that an exception or the norm?
