who else believes that men invented nothing?

Feminists say that women invented everything, is it just more hate against men.

    Well if you put it all in perspective, the majority of documented inventions came from male-dominated societies, so it is likely that most inventions were likely created by males. Of course many other important inventions were created by women, such as Agriculture (which you have to admit is pretty important).

    It would be false to say men have invented nothing, but it is also false to say women have invented nothing.

    Since it has only been in recent times that women have really gained equality with men, it is likely that many inventions were created by women, but were not given the same credit as men's.

    I do not believe one should make grand assumptions about things, especially regarding gender roles. It is quite likely that someone will become offended.

    By the way, the world's first computer programmer was a woman, Ada Lovelace.

    Umm, no one? Where did you hear this? A troll?

    Sounds like the reverse of Emo Boy, ala: "Will women ever invent anything?".

    Both genders have invented things, men have just invented more things than women for various reasons I don't feel like going into.

    Feminists are making up BS and are trying to rewrite history.

    The reality is that, men built/create/invent and maintained virtually everything that people use and see around them - people are living in houses built by men; driving on road and bridges built by men; using electricity & gases discovered and utilized by men etc..etc..

    Men built this world, obviously. Women didn't even have full rights until the 20s and they definitely didn't invent much before then.

    UNeducated people would ....

    You know why? Because those are the one who never knew / heard about Socrates, Euclid, Archimedes, Einstein, and thousands of others...

    And sometimes, many have so little education, they either don't remember those names, or they take it for grant that every body can invent it if he/ she try...

    Mediocre astonishes at nothing...& take every thing for grant..

    Men invented most everything,so anyone who claims they didn't has a little problem with the truth.

    You're using a man's invention to type this.

  • Pure denial and jealousy. They just want to filter uneducated people's heads with false crap.
