Yeah, but there are a lot more men than women.
Oh, wait ...
It should really appear on the transgender's invention list.
Of course, this was a requirement in Jewish law centuries before.
Now if they’d just learn to leave the toilet seat up!

True.
While not part of religious law, classical civilization had a much better way of dealing with this than medieval and early modern society. Greeks and Romans had excellent sewer and aqueduct systems. Up till early 19th century, European cities did not.
This meant that up till then, European cities had been “demographic sinks,” with death rate consistently and often significantly exceeding the birth rate. Cities maintained population and even grew only because of constant immigration from rapidly growing populations in the country areas, where less concentrated populations spread disease less efficiently.
And then later claimed all the credit.
” Feminists have a lot of grievances as well.”
In their minds.
Some of these inventions by women are true, some false. For instance, the ironing board was invented at least fifty years before 1892.
But I read it on the internet. Doesn’t that make it twue??? (flipping hair as I write this)
If you actually did read it on the internet, then yes, it has to be true.
Without all those greedy males, undoubtedly most females, like the males, would be living much more primitive lives. Radical feminists appear to be almost totally oblivious of this unpleasant (to radical feminists) fact. Paglia is one of the exceptions.
Perhaps I need a few T shirts with the logo
SORRY...OBSOLETE
You’re On Your Own
I fell for those darned things. The x-ray glasses were advertised in the Johnson ads on the back of a lot of comic books. That was back in the '30's and I was a mere stripling thinking anything printed on glossy paper had to be true.
Unfortunately, I also fell for "instrument to throw your voice". Money was scarce back in those days and I wasted some.
“Or as Fred Reed puts it: “Can you name one thing with a moving part that was invented by a feminist?”
Goalposts!
Invented the “electric water heater”?
I have a water heater that was intended to sit on a wood stove more than a hundred years ago, with the water pipes going in and out of it, if you put a natural gas burner under it, then it became a “gas water heater”, a propane burner made it a “propane gas water heater”, if you put an electric element in it, it became an “electric water heater”.
Not exactly earth shattering ‘inventing’.
Resolved: Women are idiots.
Well somebody had to do it first. And of course it was a woman who did it.
No, the chart says electric hot water heater. Why a woman would want to invent a device to heat hot water, I don't know.
