Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton. That took all of one second.

Of course, I'm sure he'd take issue with my...expanded definition of "invention." Then again, he's a fucktard.

Harriet Tubman was great and all but what did she invent Bowen?

Lady Ada Lovelace would be spinning in her grave if she could see what this moron is posting with a device descended from her work...

Dian Fossey wants to introduce you to a few of the gorillas she studied.

And Marie Curie would suggest that you go and play in a nuclear reactor.

Hell, the kevlar you may need to protect your dumb ass was invented by Stephanie Kwolek.

The first recorded chemist was a woman, Tapputi-Belatekallim, a Babylonian perfumer from around 2000BCE.

Not creative? Not free thinkers? Not innovative? Mary Shelley would like a word with you. She came up with an entirely new kind of monster, wrote a book that became a literary classic and got published in a period when women were not expected to do anything but look pretty and be entertaining to the men in their company.

I found 25 with a quick google search.

I personally, am always solving problems by thinking outside the box (creatively) that my husband and other males in my life can't fathom (they're too logical to see things from a different perspective).

Tell me, Mister Jack, if you can- you have denigrated the creativity of women so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not.

I smell a person who has too little comfidence to define himself by his own qualities and must denigrate others not to feel worthless.

Every single woman I know (and I know quite a few) is a free thinker, innovative or creative and most are all three. Clearly, you don't know a lot of women (I wonder why...)

*facepalm* At the very least, Just Jack, be grateful to your mother for birthing you, though you contribute nothing to the species.

Just from the Computer and Information Science fields alone:

- Ada Lovelace - Widely considered the first computer programmer, more or less "inventing" the art of computer programming in the process.
- Hedy Lamarr - Two words: wireless telecommunications. She was also a talented actress and sexy as hell.
- Mary Ann Wilkes - Developed the first true computer operating system.
- Grace Hopper - Wrote the first language compiler (for COBOL, IIRC).
- Radia Perlman - Devised the spanning tree protocol.

That's five just off the top of my head. Though to be fair, I had to sort of "look up" Hedy Lamarr because I had forgotten her name, and I had to make sure I spelled Radia Perlman's correctly. Even if you count those two off for that, I still listed three, so in any case:

I read about the afterlife

I'll just change this to three great women in history.

Marie Curie
Helen Keller
Rosa Parks.

All of them were creative, free thinkers, and innovative.

THIS IS NOT FUNDIE. I thought that the trend of posting love-shy on FSTDT was over. Silly me.

Marie Curie
Rita Levi-Montalcini

They are all Nobel Laureates in hard sciences. Curie was awarded twice.

@campbunny

See the site FAQ. While this particular post doesn't smack of being "fundy" as much as others from love-shy do, the site overall certainly fits the more loose non-religious definition which pretty much makes all the quotes on it fair game.

In the context of the love-shy site this is certainly fundy. By itself, without that context, I would agree that it's not really fundy at all but since we know what the site is about and what the usual posts are this is fundy enough for me.
