Well documented that that is not true. But if you STILL have to pretend that women never did anything in science or tech, despite men's efforts to downplay their contributions at the time, then you are just pathetic. |
Sorry, overlooked that you were being racist as well as sexist. Of course people of all races have contributed to scientific and technological development. Starting with, ahem, ALGEBRA. |
| So much racist and sexist hatred for a specific group.....funny how it's allowed if you're hurling it in a very specific manner. |
Keep trying. Go look up who invented the transistor. |
And most other things. |
it's only directed at the angry white males. If you are a white male and not angry, then it's not about you. -married to a married white male who understands that he has some privileges that nonwhite people don't, even though he's an immigrant. |
So as long as they agree with you on everything, they will be free from your hatred and ire. How progressive and open minded! |
A whole country made by shite men and women. |
Read up on Ada Lovelace.
I had actually never heard of her until we went to a tiny children's museum in podunk PA in the middle of nowhere. There was an area in the museum that was dedicated to females in STEM, and I was reading about this woman with my family (boy and girl), and all of us, including my DH who is a white male programmer, were surprised. Then there's "Hidden Figures", and another story recently that came out about a famed French author over a hundred years ago who was actually a woman, but her husband took all the credit because.. yep, woman weren't allowed to publish books back then. This kind of sh1t happened all the time. This is the kind of thing that never gets taught to kids in school. It's all about white males because history in this country was written by white males. I was saying to DH that I wonder how many other inventions and such were discovered by woman but was hidden by white males. He agreed. |
I look at violence in broader ways than you do. McConnell, Trump, Miller -- are quite violent. I could give you a much longer list, of course, but I'm sure you get the point. |
You're just proving why it all needs to change. The only reason you think white men invented everything is because the textbooks and the museums and the movies and everything emphasize the contributions of white men. You picture Einstein and Tesla and Newton and Darwin because that's what the scientists name their pets in movies and that's who the scientist characters in cartoons are supposed to look like and that's who the scientific journals and prizes are named after and that's who the high school science teachers have posters of in their classrooms. And when people talk about Ada Lovelace or Grace Hopper you guys scream that they are just being talked about for "diversity points" and their sons have no "role models" and wah wah wah. Until the contributions of EVERYONE else get equal representation, so that people can come up with someone other than George Washington Carver when they have to name a black scientist, then there is a ton of work to do to get these people's names and accomplishments into all aspects of society, not just a special chapter or a special month or a special exhibit. Sorry that triggers your "white male anger." |
I think you don't know what "white privilege" and "progressive" means. BTW, I'm no progressive liberal. I actually used to be a R. So, does this mean that you acknowledge that "angry white males" are closed minded? |
Yeah, a black man invented the lightbulb. Just ask Joe if you don't believe me. |
|
Yeah, I worry for my son. He will be overlooked, ignored, neglected and labelled as rude, loud and potential bad guy.
On the contrary, people have only good things to say about him so far. But, down the road, if he gets mistreated enough, he/or anyone can turn and resent/turn bad. There's so much a person can take before they have had enough. |
You are bizzare. |
