It's things like this that have made young girls in prior decades believe somehow they're not as good at math, or "can't understand" complex ideas and functions like electronics, mechanics, physics, etc., when all along they've been every bit as capable and have at times surpassed men in such scientific realms. Who knows what other brilliance on the part of women has been covered up in what has been for too long a patriarchal society. In the '70s, my parents wanted me to be a teacher; I wanted to be an architect. And that's just one example of ignoring the ability of women to contribute on an equal level with men.

What i love about this list is most of the women listed would be classed as 'lookers' showing that smart women aren't the dowdy geeks shown in most entertainment media.

Well in all honesty if you want a product to sell it’s more likely to sell saying a man invented it then a woman

Perhaps "Top" should not be part of the YouTube title for this topic. 🤔

Now do the same, but swapped. (Congrats to me for starting a slew of other arguments underneath mine, even though it wasn’t a controversial opinion…)
