Why all the event are found by male scientist?

Question

Answer gently about this question. y not any female scientist in history of event?

Answer 1

Your assumption isn't true. Do some research before you assume everything is male dominated.

Answer 2

It's not that all the great events have been found by male scientists...it's that, unforetunately, many of the female scientists have been written out of history. As far as IQ goes, females have just as much drive, focus, and intelligence as any male does in order to succeed in the field of science.

Answer 3

As EVERYONE has mentioned, there have been many important female scientists, but the reason there haven't been as many has alot to do with the role women were allowed to play in science.
At the turn of the 20th century many women were trying to get into science, but it's not possible unless you had a lab to work in. Mme Curie was married to another physicist and being married got her into the lab, but she had to share alot of the credit. Alot of women were forced to take the job of "calculator" so that they could work in science, where they just solved complex math equations or parts of matrixes for scientists, they were not allowed to take part in studying, and they were taught past a certain level.
Not only that, but they weren't respected, and their work was stolen. Rosalind Franklin worked in France before going to England. In France her work was stolen by male counterparts who go all of the credit.
Today there are women scientists, but they're fewer, at least in the US, do to unequal education opportunities. They've shown that girls in classrooms get less attention and help-much less encouragement- than their male counterparts.
It's really terribly sad. I think men and women working together could accomplish far more than either alone. Science would be in a better state if the sexes were represented equally. But that part is just my opinion.

Answer 4

It is true that you are overlooking some significant contributions by female scientists (for example, Marie Curie was one of the first people--not women people--to win a Nobel Prize in Physics). However, it is also true that most scientific fields are still dominated by men (to be specific, by white men).

Historically, women have had less opportunities to get the education that would put them in a position to make scientific break-throughs. As higher education has become more accessible to women (and there are now more women than men in college) and more young women are starting scientific careers, men still tend to outnumber women in engineering and physical sciences (chemistry, physics, etc)--fields that are math intensive.

The reason for this gender gap has been a touchy subject in academic circles recently. While I accept that there are gender differences between brains, I believe that the gender gap is better explained by a culturally enforced math phobia in girls and a de-valuation of the (stereotypically) more global analytical thinking skills that women can bring to those fields.

Answer 5

My theory is women are busy taking care of everything else. Most male Scientists are one track. They focus only on that one thing where a woman scientist still thinks about family, friends, etc.

Answer 6

You need to get a basic education, pal. Ever hear of Marie Curie, for starters? If you want to look closer in time, how about Jane Goodall, and the woman who is one of the top scientists leading the SETI program? You got an agenda here?

Answer 7

As others have mentioned, there are plenty of women who have contributed greatly to the field of science. One problem that women have had to overcome is their male counterparts. For example: Martha Chase's contributions in biology were considered "too good to have come from a woman" and Rosalind Franklin's x-ray crystallography pictures of DNA were taken by Watson and Crick without her knowledge as Watson mentions in his book.

Answer 8

How could you overlook 48 female scientists as listed in factmaster.com. You should be male chauvinist, I think!

Answer 9

Could you at least give us a little courtesy of doing a Google search before asking questions like this? Not everyone wants to answer your homework questions. Don't you feel stupid?

Answer 10

Not true. There have been many important women scientists. For info see:
