A Mans World?

[~ vortex ~]

Looking around Ive noticed that almost everything thing we use in everyday life was invented by a man.. Have women invented anything? If so what in your opinion is the best thing that was invented by a woman?

In the 1800's United States laws made by men, forbade women from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own name, so the inventions would be in the name of her father or husband (typical males taking all the credit).But the fairer sex did invent the Dishwasher,Ironing board,Refridgerator ,Disposable nappies, not things males would ever think about apart from chilling the beer in the fridge.There were also windshield wipers,car heaters,crash helmets, bulletproof vests,fire escape and circular saw just thought I would throw a few things in for the boys!!

I think you'll find Otto T!tzling (T I T {z} sling) invented the bra. Hence the word t!tS!!!

Marie Curie � �discovered� radium, although this is thought to have killed her as well
Maria Alovert � biodiesel process, I currently run one of my cars on this and it is zero polluting
Josephine Cochrane � dishwasher
Stephanie Kwolek � Kevlar, used mostly by the police and well-to-do hoodies, she had lots of blokes helping but modestly took the credit!

Hmmm, i have scoured the internet and have only found that gossiping was invented by women...

In 1913, the first modern brassiere to be awarded a patented was invented by a New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob. Mary had just purchased a sheer evening gown for one of her social events. At that time, the accepted undergarments were corsets, stiffened with whaleback bones and steel rods. Mary found that the whalebones poked out visibly around the plunging neckline and under the sheer fabric, so with two silk hankerchiefs and some pink ribbon, the first bra was invented.

[sophie_1003]

[mrrobbo15]

women invented the telly remote.....to save them from keep having to get up to turn it over wen us men wanted to change channels......

....only joking ))

[joko]

as has been mentioned, for centuries, any woman showing even the remotest hint of intelligence or an opinion was treated with scorn and contempt and laughed at.
women were largely considered ''decorational'' or ''functional'' as a mother...thats it.

it was actually believed that women did not have the mental capacity to think!

with the same encouragement as men had, women would now have a great long history of inventions behind them.

Think of all the potentially great things we may have missed out on because the idea was sneered out of the pretty little things head while she made the tea and pressed flowers...?

the comedy sketches of 1950s women, by harry enfield are funny because even that recently, this was the general feeling towards women who had a mind.

the reason is fear, pure and simple

on the other hand, the worst thing invented by a woman - sunbathing (Coco Chanel)
