I'm hearing women on these boards and everywhere else discrediting men for things they've created to advance civilization with justifications that state women weren't able to create anything because men oppressed them. This statement has us all to believe that women would have created the Automobile, Airplane, Buildings, The television, the Computer, etc, eventually.
1900's revolutionize equality for ethnicities and women. It also revolutionize medicine and technology created by men.
My question to you is this... Are there any revolutionary inventions created by women that aren't influenced or pioneered by men, which solely do not benefit women, but mankind itself?
Remember: Google is your friend and will answer this question.
For example, in just a few quick keystrokes, I learned that a woman invented Kevlar, the disposable diaper, the life raft, the windshield wiper, and the refrigerator.

I'm asking the women on this site because I know they take feminism with much pride, which is admirable... And don't like it when guys say,"If it wasn't for men...."
I am trying to get a discussion going. If I really wanted to know, I would have Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, ASK.com it!!
A lot of what you said, some of them are influcenced and poineered by men like the refrigerator. Mary Engle Pennington was the first female member of the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers and one of the first female members of the American Chemical Society. She didn't invent it, she help invent it.
I'm talking about inventions single handily invented by women without being influenced or pioneered by men.

Wow. I actually found even more than THAT! There’s the submarine telescope & lamp; the Stop-Motion safety device used in textile mills; the machine that makes your grocery bags; the safety elevator now used to lift and transport those who are wheel-chair bound; the communication system which helped manipulate radio frequencies during World War II. And then there’s Margaret Knight with 26 patents who was affectionately known as the “female Edison”

Minus the not influenced by men part... Babies! Without women, there would be none. That pretty much is the greatest gift to mankind.
It would seem that the answer to your question is a resounding YES.
Were you attempting to argue that the answer is no? Or just stir up the hive? Because I'm sure I could turn it around and say that a lot of inventions by men were influenced by women...
I'd also like to throw in the fact that pretty soon, if not now, women won't need men at all to get pregnant. There is enough frozen sperm on ice we can pick and choose what, when and why we get pregnant.
Let's see.. I could invite a dildo that shoots the sperm up the woman so she can masturbate, push a button, shoot the sperm up her and gee, get pregnant... that would benefit mankind now wouldn't it??
Without researching anything, Sarah Winchester comes to mind. She had quite a few patents to her name. She invented the first automatic car wash - I think, I'd have to verify that.
Anyone in the San Jose area of California ought to know about her! Her house, the Winchester Mystery House, is open to the public and its a lot more than just an odd attraction - there's quite a bit of od History there too!
I can think of discoveries made by women, but off the top of my head I can't think of any other inventions -- looks like others have found the info on various websites though.
It is true that women weren't educated often times and weren't encouraged to further their education.
My Grandma was forced to quit 8th grade during the Depression era to work on the farm. She is a very intelligent woman, but she is 91 now and talks about how she would have loved to have a college education but that just wasn't possible.
So...there is a lot of sense as to in America's history, women have been kept back a lot more then men.
Genuises tend to be men. So do retards. Inventors tend to be engineers. Engineers tend to be male. Genius often goes hand-in-hand with Aspergers Syndrome. Aspergers disproportionally affects men. It's not the patriarchy, it's genetic disposition.
Let's not forget also that 99.9 % of hardcore criminals are men. What was the sex of the person who brutally stabbed the young man on the Greyhound in Canada last week?
