Both the half-silvered surface (also known as the one-way mirror) and the anti-reflective glass were invented by a woman optician.
PROBLEM?

they have invented and mastered the delicate arts of sandwichmaking.

>>2829472
lol how are either of these in any way significant?

Most fundamental discoveries that people are going to remember (electricity, light bulb, telegraph etc.) were made in a time when women were discouraged/banned/hindered from participating in scientific discourse and discovery.
Using Google one would probably find plenty of modern, specialized inventions that were discovered by women or more likely teams including women.

OP is a troll.

>>2829475
without half silver mirrors, how can you do quantum experiments?

>>2829475
Anti-reflective coating is implemented in the vast majority of modern eyeglasses.
One-way mirrors are widely used by the FBI, the Interpol and the CIA.

>>2829480
>Using Google one would probably find plenty of modern, specialized inventions that were discovered by women
nope.

>>2829461
I don't know any inventions by men either.
I don't generally care who invented my shit.

>>2829485
half-silvered surfaces were invented a few centuries back, whereas quantum experiments have been circulating since the egyptian era.

>>2829472
Sure thing. And George Washington Carver invented peanut butter, rather than having only read about it in one place and written about it in another.

I think we could live without that.

>>2829572

Well sure. We could live without a lot of things. Who needs computers?

Women have "invented" childbearing.
TL;DR if it wasn't for women, none of you and your inflated egos would come to life.

>>2829576

fucking women everywhere.

Being dirty sluts.

Curie- Sklodowska invented radioactivity and Loveface invented computers
>no 4chan without women

>>2829579

Not a woman (>>2829576)
Just an impartial bystander. But speaking of computers, was it Ada Laplace?

>>2829577
Childbearing was not invented by anyone; it is a biological process.

>>2829480
>Most fundamental discoveries that people are going to remember (electricity, light bulb, telegraph etc.) were made in a time when women were discouraged/banned/hindered from participating in scientific discourse and discovery
This. Quite obviously.

ada lovelace

She invented the first algorithm.

>>2829498
>Implying that arguing whether inventions are done by males or females belongs to /sci/

>>2829586
not sure if you can invent radioactivity.

A woman was also responsible for cataloguing Cepheid variable stars, which helped expand our view of the universe enormously.

>>2829586
The computer was invented by Babbage, and radioactivity was not "invented" by anyone because it is a naturally occuring process -- it was discovered, by Becquerel, who was not a woman.

Fixed that for you.

>>2829641
So far, we have

1) first algorithm (nothing major and all the important algorithms were designed by men)
2) cataloging some stars (not really an invention)
3) dishwasher (not so sure about this one, might have been a troll post)

Are you even trying, women?

Sasha X Grey invented existentialism

Strange name.

Invented Kevlar.

Also the are probably tons of normal household stuff invented by women. We just don't give a fuck about who invented it.

Cars, airplanes, computers (first programmer and algorithm), stoves, semiconductors

Women have given birth to every scientist who has ever lived.

>>2829651

Please see >>2829480

Probably not.

From basic observation women in general seem to be less explorative than men.

"In the U.S., more than 140 cooking devices were patented by women in the nineteenth century"
Well, at least they know their place.
Women have invented many things, yes. However, none of them bore any significance and no scientific breakthroughs were made by women.

>>2829658
And that scientist's mother was seeded by a man.

This really.

Why is "offensive" to point out a simple fact. Women passionate about about technical fields are pretty rare.

discovered radioactivty

invented purification of uranium from pitchblend

the first computer program was made by a woman

bitching

>>2829683
>and no scientific breakthroughs were made by women

Marie Curie was the first person to win two nobel prizes FFS

>>2829655

Stephanie Kwolek.

Also, Letitia Geer invented syringes.

I think you'll find if you look at the list of inventions by women, they're largely appliances for around the home; useful inventions like the hot water heater.

Women were denied access to other avenues of life until very recently. It's not a black mark on women as inventors, just a sign that the field they could work in was limited.

That's really pathetic, and they do this with blacks too. Making lists of "revolutionary" inventions like rolling pins, peanut butter, super soakers and other equally useless shit to make everyone feel better about themselves.

You know why they don't have a white male invention list? Because practically everything was invented by a white male.

>>2829705
arabs and chinks would disagree with you.... not about the guy bit though

>>2829615

Interesting addendum to the liquid paper thing - it was Michael Naismith's mother who invented it. That's one of the dudes in the shitty band "The Monkees" from the 60's.

>>2829683

>no scientific breakthroughs were made by women.

Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, Florence Nightingale, Lise Meitner, Jane Goodall, Emmy Noether, Henrietta Leavitt, Inge Lehmann, Annie Jump Cannon etc.

>>2829709
towelheads made lotsa shit, but what about chinks? opium pipes?

>>2829715

Took you quite a bit to google all that stuff.

Still nowhere near all the scientific breakthroughs and inventions made by males.

>>2829709
You're right. The sciences are dominated by white males, east asians and a few Arabs/Indians. Everyone else is irrelevant.

>>2829715

Funded, taught, supported, influenced and pioneered by men.

>Florence Nightingale

This just in, women think doing their job is an achievement.

>>2829698
Because while men have largely been conditioned to become engineers/scientists and similar, women have been conditioned to clean houses etc.

Pic related.

I was more interested in being a kid than figuring out what I wanted to do at a young age.

>>2829717

This has largely been because institutions of higher learning around the world have had any woman who tried to get in and become educated beaten or killed.

Seriously, women were considered property for pretty much the entirety of civilized history. Their contributions will be affected by this.

>>2829725
Inb4 someone claims that this is just an excuse.

>>2829731
This sort of stuff still greatly affects your perceptions and preferences.

Henrietta Swan Leavitt invented a method to calculate the distance of distant stars. At the time, scientists only had parallax, and that breaks down at a certain angle.

>>2829725

They weren't conditioned. It's not a question of nurturing. It's more like some kind of instinct. If you observe various studying ranging from IQ, to academic achievements you'll find that men have a wider range. Males cover the extremes while women are more concentrated towards the center. Moreover men tend to be specialists while women retain their generalist life styles.

In other words. Men are men. Women are women. And they are not equal.

why is the default assumption that environment is the only determining factor on psychology and aspirations? why don't these people ever feel compelled to back this shit up?

>>2829742

Yes Cepheids have been mentioned a few times.

>>2829727

Easy one OP, a woman invented:

THE GROUT BAG and if you don't know what that is, go kill yourself for not being a real man

we have this thread every day

>>2829759

Two generations.

To create things comparable to all the inventions of men through history.

You're a moron.

>>2829747

Of course men and women aren't equal, we both excel in different ways. However, this thread asks an unfair question, and it's not fair to assume that the difference in the number of inventions/discoveries is because women are less capable at it.

>>2829786
What other reason comes to mind?
Men did science when questioning was equal death penalty, so dont give me shit about how its the culture conditioning people.

>>2829786
>To create things comparable to all the inventions of men through history
No, to create one significant invention, or to make one important scientific breakthrough.
Admit it, women are lost causes.. what have they contributed to mankind? Skins? Reality TV?

I never meant that. What I said is that by observation one can easily conclude that women are "in general" (I'm not prejudicing against anyone) less explorative of their respective fields.

>>2829799
>>2829799
lol skins is horrible beyond words

Men held up theories that they had been able to learn and study when the threat was death. Women had to fight just to learn in the first place. There is a difference.

Galileo got threatened for his discoveries... After being educated, after being able to make connections and independently live and learn and pay for his existence, after being able to go to the POPE to let him publish a book...

If Galileo was born female, someone else would've published something very similar, but they'd have been little more than a curious woman who got beaten for asking too many questions.

>>2829799

Rare is a significant invention in the last few decades. Most of these are developed by teams, and you will find, as you approach the modern day, more and more of these teams have women working in them.

I did mention that these inventions come from groups, not an individual.

And Facebook wasn't an invention, it was a fusion of multiple things, developed by a large group of people. Zuckerberg just stole the original idea and was one of its founders.

>>2829853

>come from groups
>groups
>aka mostly men

there is nothing wrong with women though. they were never meant, as a whole, to compete with the risk taking and obsessive nature that is more likely to be present in a male.

one of the biggest failures of feminism is its assertion that women should be able to out compete men at the top end in areas where men have natural advantages. things like diversity quotas, scholarships, etc keep pushing this to no great affect.

if there is a person, male or female, who wants to invent/be a scientist/whatever and has the aptitude for it, any discrimination against them is wrong. trying to browbeat people into having certain goals is silly though.

men and women were never meant to be in direct competition, they were meant to be complimentary.

Nope. "Childbearing" predates women; life began by replicating itself. However, some of that life decided to stop bearing children and invented penises instead, thus also inventing "women".
