So cool

That reminds of the experiment where they put girls in a house and boys in a other house without adults inside (they watched from cameras I think) to see how they'd handle and survive

The boys absolutely destroyed the house, entire walls were knocked down and holes everywhere, nobody did laundry or dishes , the boys didn't clean even themselves and were MISERABLE. Fighting each other every day, one never left the room bc he was scared and hated being there in the filth..

The girls made a chore wheel, shared the responsibilities, and survived as if they were adults who'd been doing it for decades, and they all had become rlly good friends.

It is the difference between pillaging resources (men) and developing/fostering resources (women).

In an apocalypse scenario, I plan to raid for materials and food stuffs and seeds/plants to hold me over until my farm and such gets going. I know how to sew, crochet, knit, and weave. I know how to harvest materials to do all of the above.

Guns won’t keep you fed if them going off gets you dead.

Speaking of apocalypses, if they were a typical zombie apocalypse with the downfall of modern society (I mean, I think a slow climate change apocalypse is more likely, but who knows?) only radfems would survive.

Why? Because everyone else has become too dumb to live. You cannot breed horses or cattle or really any type of livestock when you don't know what kind of animal gives birth, and what kind of animal you only need for five minute to give its "input".

You can't even make modern beer, as you need female hops for that. Female hops that's kept away from male hops. There were beers in the past that used something other than hops, but some of those herbs were replaced for a good reason ...

(Plus, more women than men ride, and horses are the only means of transport that can just make more of itself. If you put a cute little pink car together with a big black monster truck, the two will not have tiny motorcycle babies no matter how feminine and masculine they look and how much fuel you feed them with, just saying.)

Women are more equipped to handle apocalyptic settings. I mean, just look at all the times in history we've had to deal with men oppressing us and how they screw over the countries through war, disease, famine, etc... they brought themselves. Funnily enough, the so-called "women's work" (cooking, cleaning, sewing) are the basic survival tools you'd need in hard times. Men are just assuming they'd have a woman they can force to do these things for him lol.

Men just can't handle that information because it damages their inflated ego that has them believe men would be the ones to "save the world" through domination and massacre, according to most if not all apocalyptic movies that were made by men who also wanted to stroke their egos. As if that same ideology isn't want led us to the world we live in now, which is basically dystopian in a good majority of countries.

A woman invented the wastebin whose lid can be operated with a pedal. (I love that invention. So much more hygienic!)

Oh, and the clever handwashing mechanism that consists of a water canister, and a pedal that makes it tip over, that I've seen in a documentary on some rural area in Africa, was probably invented by the woman of the house, too. Men hardly even wash their hands after using the loo if they have running water, after all.

In the very ancient world the invention of string and from that all textile arts, the invention of horticulture and agriculture, the invention of leather tanning, the invention of cheese, beer, wine and fermentation based food preservation,

In the twentieth century the invention of the foot operated garbage can, the wall light switch and the triangle kitchen plan, which is now pretty much all kitchens. These three were the work of one female engineer. (Lillian Moller Gilbreth). She was also a pioneer of time and motion studies.

The discovery of DNA, and the scandal that her work was stolen still hasn’t been fully rectified.

The first computer programming equations by Ada Lovelace.

I know there are more. Women are so creative and analytical. Why aren’t we allowed to be free and work at our highest capacity? The world would be better for everyone.

I’ve never understood it. Look what we’ve managed with the boot on our neck; imagine if we could stand.

And look at how girls completely outclass boys in academia now we aren't banned from education.

Not to mention cooking, pottery, weaving, preparing animal skins for clothing, shelter and containers, agriculture and domesticating animals.

One of my favorite “Fuck You” sort of jokes that I’ve probably passed on here before:

Q: What did Watson and Crick discover?

A: Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

The windshield wiper one is 'fun;' two separate women invented different versions of it independently, companies scoffed at it and refused to manufacture it because women, which made the patents expire faster...and the moment the patents expired all those vehicle companies who had told them it was stupid and unnecessary IMMEDIATELY started implementing windshield wipers that were clearly based on their designs. Neither saw a penny from the creation, and car companies were willing to keep making vehicles with an obvious safety hazard that went unaddressed to keep it that way.

Also in things women overwhelmingly don't get credit for, time and against when male 'inventors' were/are asked where they got the idea for 'their invention,' they point to watching their wives do something innovative with something preexisting and then just fabricating something that utilizes that same innovation and patenting and manufacturing and marketing it, the part of the process women overwhelmingly weren't given the time, resources, or respect to achieve ourselves. One almost silly example is 'Cream of Wheat;' unassuming today, an absolute sensation in the late 1800s when it debuted and took the US by storm, featuring a part of the wheat that was viewed as practically waste material and extremely under-utilized, but a man at a flour company brought it home for his wife who created a porridge with it, and when the company was struggling he pitched her recipe to them and got full credit for it.

That DNA is a double helix - again the research was actually stolen by two blokes. Her name was Rosalyn Frankland.

Identifying stars that are "standard candles" so it became possible to work out just how far away other galaxies are. Henrietta Swann Leavitt.

Rear view mirrors in cars

And a good portion of these at a time when women weren’t even supposed to be working. We still don’t get equal pay or advancement.

One of the scientists who discovered swarming motility in bacteria was a woman. This revolutionized our understanding of bacteria and infections.

Also a woman invented and pioneered rape test kits - again a scrote took credit for it. Regrettably I don't recall her name but there was a post on here about it.

Beatrix Potter realized that mushrooms reproduced by spores, but was not allowed to submit her idea because she was a woman. A man realized and published it 5 years after.

Wow, thanks for compiling this! Very thankful for all these ladies.
