Without internet searching, can you name 3 things a women has invented?

1. Kevlar

2. ???

3. ???

I'm struggling. This came up in a conversation I had earlier and nobody could name 3. So, is it just me, or did female-kind never get around to inventing stuff?

Discuss.

Edit: And no, sammiches were invented by a man. :roll: :P

The Earl of Sammich was actually a chick so samiches are valid.

I wonder how much sexism and consequential banhammers will be involved in this thread.

Women weren't allowed to get patents until the late 1800's so who knows what they could have invented before that. I know that a woman inventing windshield wipers and a steet-cleaning machine along with few other things.

Though it WAS the women who had to carry ALL future male inventors for 9 months and then raise them. The raising part can and probably was done monstly by the females. Just sayin.

If you count discoveries, Marie Curie-Sklodowska discovered radiation. That's the only one I know, though.

lol. Occupational hazard of inventing unfortuntely. I remember reading somewhere that the discovery of microwaves occurred when a radar researcher found he'd accidentally melted his pocket chocolate bar. Lawd knows what standing so close to a source of microwaves did to his genitals.

LOL. Reminds me of the first time users of x-rays. They used them for everything and didnt realize what a hazard they were. They used to x-ray peoples feet at the shoe store - unshielded of course.

I couldn't believe that at first. That's insane.

LOL. They could have come up with a better name than "pedoscope".

Women are too busy putting make up on dressing slutty and then getting into arguements over people that treat them like sluts.Grey_Eyed_Elf

.-. was this really necessary? There are intellegent women out there. Plenty of which have invented things and changed the world. It was a group of women who invented worker's safety guidelines afterall ( I think).

there are tons of great female scientists Someone already mentioned Madam Curie who discovered radiation and pretty much affected every single schools of science from geology to chemistry and astrophysics The structure of DNA was discovered largely due to x-ray photo that Rosalind Franklin took (except two other male co-scientists got the credit), who also contributed very much to medicine The scientist who classified stars into spectrum classification was also a woman (forgot her name, but it was really funky)

I'm pretty sure the bra was invented by a male. I remember hearing feminists always complain about that.

Very apt summary imho even if a joke. As a great man once said, "This is a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl".
