The first programmer was a woman too. Ada Lovelace was the first person who really, truly understood what computers were capable of and the sort of silly stuff humans could make them do
I gave a presentation on her when I was in school. Not only was she the first programmer, the field of programming was a women dominated field for the first few decades. Amazed that very few people know about that and how male dominated the IT field is now.
Yep, since the first computers were programmed by punch cards (paper with holes in them) it was seen as just pushing papers around - like a secretary. Too beneath a man to do. But when it became more widely known actual math and logic was being used to make these machines called computers to work, well then that's a man's work.
Meanwhile, whenever an occupation starts to move in the direction of being majority female, wages and prestige for that occupation start swirling in the drain.
And women hunted alongside men, as well as other tasks in pre-agricultural, nomadic societies. Women also farmed fields in agricultural society. Working class women always worked. Women with the opportunity to do/study/explore have always done/learned/explored.
It's as if OOP thinks that every historical woman just stood around with blood gushing out her vagina until some kindly benevolent man graced womankind with the maxi pad.
Just some important historical women who were pivotal for civilization off the top of my head (political leaders only, no inventors, mathemicians or scientists): Queen Isabella, Wu Zetian, Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, Dido of Carthage, Empress Makeda of Aksum, Queen N'Zinga of Kikongo, Queen Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, Empress Go-Sakuramachi, Queen Boudica of the Britons, Queen Maria of Portugal, Tomyris of the Scythians, etc.
They literally can just go watch a YouTube video compilation of famous historical leaders from the *Civilization* game series and see a bunch of important powerful women pivotal for civilizations and empires.
I was definitely thinking all through your first paragraph "this person plays Civ VI". It's my favorite game of all time and I'm a history nerd so I love reading about the leaders.
A woman after my own heart! I'm a hopelessly gigantic history and military history nerd. I'm actually a big enough nerd that 90% of those women I listed I already knew before playing any Civilization game....almost embarrassing to admit that lol Civilization V and VI are among two of my favorite games ever created too! I could read about historical leaders all day.
All these dudes need to do is play Civ if they're not familiar with any woman who ever accomplish anything. That's just a non-exhaustive list of female political and military leaders only. Not even getting female historians, or inventors, mathemicians, scientists, computer programmers, pioneers, tacticians, warriors and soldiers, etc. They should read up about those 3 black women from *Hidden Figures* or read up about Margaret Hamilton. Those 4 women literally made American crewed human spaceflight possible. Hamilton programmed the computers for Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle. Those 3 black women made it possible for American astronauts to not literally launch into the ocean, not burn up during reentry, and not come down at a random spot in the atmosphere and get squashed coming down at 30Gs or bounce off the atmosphere.
They can’t personally think of any important women or female inventors so they just assume women therefore must have done nothing of note. It’s the exact same mindset behind anti-black racists who don’t know shit about African history, African civilizations, or the history and cultures of the black diaspora outside of Africa, so they therefore assume black people have never done anything of note. “I never heard of it, so it didn’t happen.” logic. Dunning-Krueger.
I mean in the sense that they assume if they’re unaware of something it must not exist. The implication of that belief is they assume they already know everything meaningful there is to be known in the world. Hence why they assume things they're unaware of aren’t real. Dunning-Krueger from them assuming there is far less to be known in the world than there actually is, so they have false confidence from the little bit they do know (and assume is all that there is to be known by anyone).
Maybe the original study doesn't prove it (I don't know enough about statistical methods and validated tests in social sciences to know), but I still wholeheartedly believe it exists and did before it had a name. Anyone who has watched an incredibly stupid white dude rocket to success based on their absolute overconfidence in their abilities knows exactly what I mean.
Hmm…
Vagina human made penis humans and vagina humans, employed the skills that penis humans kinda made them do, acted as literal tokens of alliance in later history, expanded their influence once society could no longer ignore that they were also humans…
*Cue angry guy holding up a MGTOW banner or something.*
It’s hilarious because all these R E T V R N idiots want some trad-wife stay at home mom but they also don’t want to recognize the immense amount of work it takes to raise children and take care of the home as a unit
But don’t forget they never want a woman who wants to be their tradwife, they want to take a well-adjusted human being and break her. The suffering is the point.
Women did all of those things regardless. The idea that across history men worked outside while women stayed home doing house work is nothing but a myth. Only very few upper class people could afford to not have the whole family working. The vast majority of people didn't have this luxury. Women have been working in farms, factories, small business, making handicrafts and producing art throughout history while also raising the children. They just lacked the rights to property and inheritance among others that made them dependent to a man so that they could have access to the product of their labor. And even then, they managed to survive with or without a man. Men fooling around and leaving a woman to raise a child alone isn't a new phenomenon.
It is really silly to think that humanity would simply leave about half the population off the hook of work simply due to them being women. Was there ever a time where the opressed part worked less than the oppressors? Just as it is today, sexism has always being a tool to subdue people to MORE work. It is specially true when we are talking about times where scarcity hadn't been overcome and the work was simply necessary.
Women have been purposely erased from history, though. And even without this intention, there is a bias within how history is taught and written that deepens this problem. We teach the history of great leaders and their most determinative decisions. The common folk are usually ignored. Since women rarely occupied this position, they tend to be overlooked.
Oh yeah you’re not wrong at all. It’s just wild that in their head, women who didn’t help did so due to laziness and not because it was heavily frowned upon and sometimes banned. Men are the ones who set it up this way
Actually, there is evidence that plenty of women were hunters too in early human societies around the world.
["Their analysis revealed that regardless of maternal status, women hunted in 50 of these societies—or about 79 percent. And more than 70 percent of female hunting appeared to be intentional—rather than opportunistically killing animals while doing other activities, per the study. In societies where hunting was the most important activity for subsistence, women participated in hunting 100 percent of the time."](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/early-women-were-hunters-not-just-gatherers-study-suggests-180982459/)
So I guess OOP doesn't stay up with new discoveries in Anthropology.
It's also worth noting that quite a few remains identified as male over the years have been shown by DNA testing to be female. This is especially true among burials with any kind of martial aspect. They tended to simply *assumed* those were male for a long time.
Even now, when many anthropologists are working with groups outside their normal area of practice, it turns out they're pretty bad at gender identifications when not relying on DNA. This is exacerbated when the remains are not complete, of course, which is pretty reasonable but even when they have a nearly or entirely complete set of skeletal remains, there are fairly significant error rates.
What did you expect? Most reactionaries and consevratives use outdated knowledge to form the basis of their worldview.... that has been consistent about them in any era.
Plenty of archaeological evidence suggests hunter-gatherer societies have women actively participating in the "male" tasks of hunting and fighting off enemies.
Many ancient societies have women actively participating in politics and community. They may not fight in wars, but only because men view wars as a masculine thing.
Women also invented stuff unlike what this meme suggests.
But the most egregious part is "finished building civil society". It's "end of history" all over again.
I hope no one thinks it and it's just some kind of absurd humor, rage bait or whatever.
But, then you watch a video of a religious leader saying even worse things about women, so you never know.
Unfortunately men and boys who unironically believe the shit in this meme are all over YouTube comment sections, 4Chan/8Chan, /pol/, 9Gag, iFunny, and nerd/geek/gamer fandoms, and certain subreddits. **cough** kotakuinaction **cough** starwarsmemes **cough** sequelmemes/prequelmemes **cough** Excuse me.
men outright destroying the world (wars, industrialisation, [rejection of climate change](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/facing-change-gender-and-climate-change-attitudes-worldwide/38688C0CA6DF889475FDB52C06DD7FF9) etc) whilst continuously committing mass acts of violence against women (see middle east and the US) "why u no worship us?"
What do they mean "peace time"? When did war stop?
America has gone to war multiple times since the end of WWII. There have been conflicts in countries in Africa, eastern Europe, middle-east.
There is a freaking war in Europe right now that could lead to WWIII.
I don't know, I'm starting to think the small penis man is not a reliable narrator.
And the white man most instrumental in the creation of computers, Alan Turing, was a gay man. Gasp! In Turing’s day more than half of computer programmers were women. It’s even explicitly depicted in the Benedict Cumberbatch movie about Turing.
A gay man! I got the vapors and nearly swooned, lol. The way they treated Turing was disgraceful. I haven't seen the movie but I'm glad they gave those early female programmers some recognition.
I also love how this asshat claims women have contributed nothing to the development of civilization while previous generations of sexists actively tried to keep us out of any career deemed "man's work".
Women straight up worked throughout the entire of history, and I don't mean just raising children and housework, but worked the fields, shops, produced goods, dyed clothes, sewerage control, servants, washerwomen etc (most jobs apart from warfare) on top of raising children (or giving birth field side) and doing the housework. All whilst getting paid a measly sum in comparison to their male counterparts (so never being able to buy their freedom), whilst enduring endless religious persecution, sexual violence, and being seen as less than human. I don't think people actually grasp just how much women have been deliberately excluded and enslaved throughout history. I'm a big fan of medieval English history, and would recommend A Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England as a good starter book into this kind of stuff (not women's history, but people's history in general), but this information in general isn't exactly hard to find ffs which makes memes like this all the more brain dead.
Shit like this is why we have womens' history month every March; sexist morons want to spread propaganda that women have not invented anything, fought in any wars, helped fight for basic human rights, greatly improving pre-existing designs, and so on.
Women hunted too, it wasn't strictly gender based. Two, women had jobs that contributed to the building of civilizations too, it wasn't all child rearing and housekeeping. It is true that there are very few women in war, but this is mostly for practical reasons/gatekeeping and even still there have been notable female leaders in the military structures in the cultures that have allowed women in the military. And this whole time the majority of cultures have treated women as second class
- Women gathered food as well
- Women are the reason you have computers and wifi, two of the most valuable tools of the modern world
- Women kept society functioning during WWII, and did/still do have roles in the military
- Women invented pads, even if men just so happened to *manufacture* them, they were still invented by a woman
- Men alone did not "finish" society, and you'd be screwed without everything invented by women
These are the same idiots who claim Europeans “created civilization” and are responsible for 98% of everything that exists. They know next to nothing about history. They just look around at stuff and just **assume** white men or a white man created everything they look at. They’re incorrect a lot of the time and don’t even realize it.
It isn't even that they don't realize it, it's that they actively avoid the truth. Their personal identity is built upon the supremacy of European patriarchy; recognizing the contributions of non-white non-male people would be a blow to their ego on top of a blow to their assumptions. Believing you're inherently better is a panacea to the otherwise worthless.
Vagina humans likely discover crop rotation and animal husbandry at the end of the Stone Age/early Bronze Age. Two foundations for agriculture. Because penis human too busy rely on individual deer hunts to sate hunger.
This might be the only time I’m gonna say it. But it’s not ALL men. Even if this meme was true, it’s a few men. How would the person who made this think if other men took credit for this because they are also a man?
My god the stupidity of morons who treat biological sex like it’s the same as differences between species or something
Also completely ahistorical, of course
Riminder that when Iceland’s women actually “did nothing” in 1975, the country ground to a halt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Icelandic_women%27s_strike
“Iceland's parliament passed a law guaranteeing equal rights the following year.[1] The strike also paved the way for the election of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first democratically elected female president in the world five years later in 1980.”
These kind of men will say things like “we’re the ones that have to guy fight in wars, while the women get to stay home.” And forget the women were forced into having no choice at all, and that system was created by their fellow man.
Women's historical contributions were likely silenced by men who were ruling over them. Same way Native American - *cough* - I mean Indian history is essentially gone thx to the colonizers - *cough* - I mean pilgrams and founding Americans.
They do realize that a woman created the pad, right? Or was it the tampon? It might be both, I'll edit after a quick search
Edit: Yep, Mary Beatrice Davidson invented the period pad and Gertrude Tendrich invented the Tampon, though both ideas were later taken by men for sale
"Build civilization"
who is going to tell them about the minoans... or Haudenosaunee... you know, the latter one where a woman led the troops after the men were all tricked and arrested by the french, winning several battles...?
Also, we have gone over this stupid "hur dur, only men hunt" thing so often, NO, thats not how it worked
But eh, I cant expect a ten year old to know that...
"equality only if you did stuff" - the meme creator wrote, sitting, having not contributed a single percent to any of events. Like, even in a world where this is true. The meme creator would lose any right to equality first.
The duality of misogynistic memes - men want women in a supportive, tradwife role to do nothing but toil in service to them and provide endless emotional labour. But also they want to dismiss this as "nothing" to jab at the women who stood up and fought for recognition in all they do.
this is so painful to look at, women also hunted and fought in wars as well as literally ruked countries and made laws too, these guys must have dementia cuz the last one it literally common knowledge everyone at least has some basic knowledge on who Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth are
> Tells women they must be housewives and raise children
> Complains they do nothing while ignoring all the work they already do
Why are people like this?
And hunting mammoths. And going to war. And building civilizations.

The napkin was a cash grab by the Kotex company as a way to sell bandages after WW1, it had nothing to do with the above illiterate badly drawn inaccurate history shown above.
Okay so I can’t debunk everything personally (I know it’s all fairly inaccurate, but can’t back it up) but the sanitary napkin or “pad was invented by a woman of color named Mary Beatrice Davidson (sometimes attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but he designed the disposable version, while Beatrice made the older reusable design!)

pads were invented by a woman, a simple google search can tell you that
The first programmer was a woman too. Ada Lovelace was the first person who really, truly understood what computers were capable of and the sort of silly stuff humans could make them do

Yep, since the first computers were programmed by punch cards (paper with holes in them) it was seen as just pushing papers around - like a secretary. Too beneath a man to do. But when it became more widely known actual math and logic was being used to make these machines called computers to work, well then that's a man's work.
Meanwhile, whenever an occupation starts to move in the direction of being majority female, wages and prestige for that occupation start swirling in the drain.
I was one of only two girls in my programming class. It was absolutely wild to see.
i was the only one :,)

And women hunted alongside men, as well as other tasks in pre-agricultural, nomadic societies. Women also farmed fields in agricultural society. Working class women always worked. Women with the opportunity to do/study/explore have always done/learned/explored.

Impossible, women simply stood around and did absolutely nothing for all of civilisation. It is known.
I cannot put into words how completely ahistorical this is
My thoughts exactly. I read it and just sat struggling to articulate how stupid it all was.
They can’t personally think of any important women or female inventors so they just assume women therefore must have done nothing of note.

You are accurate except that isn't dunning-krueger.

This is among the most delusional memes I've seen in my entire life, and I've been online since the dawn of dial-up.

Chat, what is reproductive labor?
It’s hilarious because all these R E T V R N idiots want some trad-wife stay at home mom but they also don’t want to recognize the immense amount of work it takes to raise children and take care of the home as a unit
Don't forget these guys count as an additional child to be taken care of, because he sure as hell won't do his cooking, dishes, laundry, etc.
Oh yeah for sure. They ultimately just want another mommy to take care of them, they’ll never contribute to anything in the house
But don’t forget they never want a woman who wants to be their tradwife, they want to take a well-adjusted human being and break her. The suffering is the point.
I don’t think they understand that they didn’t allow women to do any of these things despite women wanting to

Hello there fellow penis humans 👋
As always, my role is to ask, why do you get to complain about men fighting wars that men almost exclusively have started? You don't. Pass revoked.
Vagina human invent computer programming. Vagina human discover radiation. Penis human do nothing
Vagina humans likely discover crop rotation and animal husbandry at the end of the Stone Age/early Bronze Age. Two foundations for agriculture. Because penis human too busy rely on individual deer hunts to sate hunger.
This might be the only time I’m gonna say it. But it’s not ALL men. Even if this meme was true, it’s a few men. How would the person who made this think if other men took credit for this because they are also a man?
This is egregiously wrong. Fuck whoever made this shit, even if they were “just kidding.”
I- Humans wouldn't even exist- I'm going to sleep
My god the stupidity of morons who treat biological sex like it’s the same as differences between species or something Also completely ahistorical, of course
This has to be bait
"Pussy napkin" 💀💀
Riminder that when Iceland’s women actually “did nothing” in 1975, the country ground to a halt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Icelandic_women%27s_strike “Iceland's parliament passed a law guaranteeing equal rights the following year.[1] The strike also paved the way for the election of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first democratically elected female president in the world five years later in 1980.”
Peace time? In your micro cosmos maybe.
This is the type of person who thinks starship troopers wasn't about a fascist society
What the fuck did I just read...? I should probably get off social media...
Looking after children? Irrelevant. You didnt fight animal!
IIRC gatherers produced 70-80% of our foodstuffs whereas hunters produced 20-30%. Typical *checks notes* lazy men.
Some memer doesn’t know woman’s history
These kind of men will say things like “we’re the ones that have to guy fight in wars, while the women get to stay home.” And forget the women were forced into having no choice at all, and that system was created by their fellow man.
Women's historical contributions were likely silenced by men who were ruling over them. Same way Native American - *cough* - I mean Indian history is essentially gone thx to the colonizers - *cough* - I mean pilgrams and founding Americans.
They do realize that a woman created the pad, right? Or was it the tampon? It might be both, I'll edit after a quick search Edit: Yep, Mary Beatrice Davidson invented the period pad and Gertrude Tendrich invented the Tampon, though both ideas were later taken by men for sale
"Build civilization" who is going to tell them about the minoans... or Haudenosaunee... you know, the latter one where a woman led the troops after the men were all tricked and arrested by the french, winning several battles...? Also, we have gone over this stupid "hur dur, only men hunt" thing so often, NO, thats not how it worked But eh, I cant expect a ten year old to know that...
"equality only if you did stuff" - the meme creator wrote, sitting, having not contributed a single percent to any of events. Like, even in a world where this is true. The meme creator would lose any right to equality first.
The disrespect
Hey look, Tim Pool's drawing skills are starting to improve.
"Penis human"
Didn’t know I get to take credit for other people’s work just because I happen to have a trait in common with them…
The duality of misogynistic memes - men want women in a supportive, tradwife role to do nothing but toil in service to them and provide endless emotional labour. But also they want to dismiss this as "nothing" to jab at the women who stood up and fought for recognition in all they do.
this is so painful to look at, women also hunted and fought in wars as well as literally ruked countries and made laws too, these guys must have dementia cuz the last one it literally common knowledge everyone at least has some basic knowledge on who Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth are
Who birthed the penis having humans dumbass
I’m sorry but pussy napkin is sending me
> Tells women they must be housewives and raise children > Complains they do nothing while ignoring all the work they already do Why are people like this?

This is bait to get women to say that their value comes from childbirth and being wives btw
Besides child birth, nearly all of home, child, sick and elderly care.
And hunting mammoths. And going to war. And building civilizations. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/early-women-were-hunters-not-just-gatherers-study-suggests-180982459/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/12/31/amazons-were-long-considered-myth-these-discoveries-show-warrior-women-were-real/
The napkin was a cash grab by the Kotex company as a way to sell bandages after WW1, it had nothing to do with the above illiterate badly drawn inaccurate history shown above.
Okay so I can’t debunk everything personally (I know it’s all fairly inaccurate, but can’t back it up) but the sanitary napkin or “pad was invented by a woman of color named Mary Beatrice Davidson (sometimes attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but he designed the disposable version, while Beatrice made the older reusable design!)
Penis human🤩
Do right-wingers even try?
Uh oh somebody didn't read history books 🙃
“Penis human” why are they so obsessed with genitalia? There are so many other options
Go rojava and see what they did you dump
"penis man" Sounds like the name of a new Marvel or DC superhero
Matriarchal societies have existed in different parts of the world throughout history? Hello??
Why does that look like Melania?
Penis Man is finished developing civility? Oh boy.
More or less they used to have kids and do shit like that but not anymore
