Like men can be proud of technology and discovering electricity... major accomplishments that shaped and changed the world forever. No female help was required.

I'm sure women have something they did that required no help or imput from men. What would you say it is?

People who say "don't take credit just because you share their gender" Aren't these the same women who say "women are strong because they give birth" even when THEY have never given birth? Or women are as capable as men when THEY themself is not capable of much of anything? hmmm... Why do we say the Japanese make great cars when there are many Japanese people who can't even fix a flat tire? Come on people... seriously

I agree with some of the others, why do you take pride in what others have done just because of their gender? The Ancient Egyptians have done a whole lot and have many accomplishments.. But you don't see me whining when people don't give ME credit for what ancient Egyptians have done.

Did you personally discover any sort of technology? Did you discover electricity? I wouldn't be taking credit for other people's discoveries just because you share their gender.

Also, I apologize that you have been poorly educated, but do some research into contributions women have made to science and technology. Women have contributed to almost every sort of technology we use today.

Edit: I have never said women are strong because they give birth, so no, I am not the same person. As for the rest of your little edit there, you're comparing apples and oranges: poor analogeous arguements.

Are you sure that no female help was required when men discovered technology and other scientific things?

I've found that many of my ideas, decisions, or inspirations, have come from people who had no experience or knowledge of what I was doing. Of course, this type of help is abstract, but this is assistance nonetheless. Sometimes, it takes just a word from somebody, (and maybe from a woman), and everything becomes clear.

Ancient chinese women had invented a language of thier own and used it widely among themselves only. I am not sure whether this language and tradition are still alive. So women can at least create languages and use them without the help of men.

What accomplishments could possibly require the assistance of nobody? A person can't invent the light bulb without relying on someone else's inventions of materials such as copper wiring, can they,? And that person wouldn't even exist if it weren't for his mother's help in raising him. No man is an island, my friend.

There is no such thing as a male accomplishment that did not require women. There is no such thing as a female accomplishment that did not require men. We are one species, for all you seem to view us as aliens from the planet Mystery. Do you, or have you ever, had a healthy relationship with a woman? Honest question.

The whole nursing system. It now contains men, but originally, founded by Florence Nightengale and staffed by women. Still primarily a woman's occupation.

Also, lesbianism. By definition, no men.

I love it when people take credit for things that OTHER people did just because they share the same genitalia. Be proud of the things you did as an individual and stop riding on the bandwagon.

Your pride means nothing because you've done nothing.
