Yet as a matter of observable fact (a category apparently having no place in feminism),
we men—patriarchal, capitalistic, macho, immature, savage, testosterone- poisoned, et cetera—seem to come up with everything important that comes up. For example: The transistor, William Shockley and his group. Microsoft, Bill Gates. Intel, Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce. Apple, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Dell Computer, Michael Dell. Public-key encryption, James Ellis, Clifford Cookis, and Malcom Williamson at GCHQ in England and later Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman of RSA Security. The World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, a Brit at CERN. Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Yahoo, Jerry Yang and David Filo. Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. The list could go on for another yard or so. - - Fred On Everything

My husband says they did all that stuff for all the centuries for um, what we ladies have to give. It works.

If civilization were left up to the women, we'd still be living in caves. They'd be really nice caves, with curtains and matching throw pillows, but caves nevertheless.

SteveS, oh nonsense. You just know too many modern women.

Let's not get ridiculous here, guys. Yes, men tend toward the sciences, and the far extremes of intelligence (both ends!) are mainly male-populated, but there are some women who stand out, and who have contributed to the technological wonder-age we live in. Marie Curie, for one, and my favorite, movie star Hedy LaMarr, who's invention of FHSS is central to Wi-Fi.

I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web log!
