Women Traded Cooking and Cleaning for Blowjobs
Ever wonder why the only place you can get a home cooked, fresh baked apple pie these days is at Marie Calendar’s or at your grandmother’s house?
It’s because during a movement called “Women’s Liberation”, women traded cooking and cleaning for blowjobs
Does anyone also remember when men worldwide exchanged being the sole breadwinner of the house for listening to their woman’s endless screed of woman problems?
No, no one does. That’s because it never happened.
Men don’t operate like that. All of us work on one principle: always going up and always going faster — and better whenever possible, which to a man is all the time. That means we don’t get to trade shit we don’t want to do for things like are easier, like how today’s modern, “liberated” women traded cooking and cleaning for blowjobs.
How typical of the laziness of the female species. When men are requested to do something in addition to what they’re already doing, they just say, “Well I guess I better do that then.” Then they fucking do it.
Women, however, ration their time out in bits and pieces like it was worth half a damn in the first place. The whole thing is amateur and childish, really. Imagine if men worked that way. When we men invented farming and agriculture, we would have just stopped hunting all together and became a veganous species of some kind.
Would you like from fries with your Big Mac? No, because there’s no such thing as a Big Mac in a world without meat. And that’s exactly what we would have if women ran the show. No meat, just a bunch of aimless dreams and junior high grab-ass horseshit.

Samantha, relative to men, women have invented virtually nothing.
Let’s take the case of Admiral Hopper. An exceptional woman, incredibly talented. First female flag officer in the USN.
COBOL?
What a piece of garbage. It set computing back by many man millennia.
Fortunately, Hopper wasn’t really responsible for COBOL; it was developed by a committee of men, admittedly based on work she’d done.
Looking randomly at the list of computing advances that I know were developed (or codified) by men:
-Turing machine concept
-von Neumann architecture
-microcode
-FPGAs
-ASICs
-Pascal
-Knuth’s algorithms
-RSA
-DES
-C
-Unix
-and I could name another 50 or 100 before I could think of anything from women. And all 50-100 more important than COBOL, to say nothing of Hopper’s FLOW-MATIC.
The list of inventors you’ve come up with is incredibly weak. Sadly, you argue our case for us.
You’d actually be on better ground if you cited someone like Hedy Lamarr, coinventor of spread-spectrum communications technologies. Now that was definitely a major advance, though even there it seems likely a man was mostly responsible.

diarrhea er I mean diamatik, you suck totally as a human being! I have more intellect in one of my fingernails than you do in your entire body!

He stated that women have invented virtually nothing and I disproved his point. You are delusional. You seem very insecure, with alot of hangups. About your comment that “It is amazing how lazily this wailing harpy is. She wants to disprove a man’s arguement, but she wants him to do the work for her.” I already did my work, I came up with a list of women inventors, and you and Geezer jumped down my throat, you called me names and insulted me! How’s it feel to get a little of it back?
Samantha, you suck at being sensible. Don’t you know that as a woman you should never dispute what a man says? You’ll always end up showing your inherent feminine idiocy.
If you want to appear to have even an iota of intellect, then provide information that women contributed more than just the windshield-wipers to the automobile. It is so like you women to holler “you should do your homework and get your facts straight. All you have to do is do a little reading and research patent records” rather than to do it for yourself.
It is amazing how lazily this wailing harpy is. She wants to disprove a man’s arguement, but she wants him to do the work for her. Another perfect example of the Laws of Women:
1. No matter how low you set the floor of expectations for a woman, she will inevitably fall below it.
Geeza (the name suits you), you suck at sarcasm. You don’t know for a fact that MEN invented all of those parts to an automobile! There have been women who have contributed to those “thousands of parts and accessories that go to make up an automobile”. You most likely don’t believe that, but you should do your homework and get your facts straight. All you have to do is do a little reading and research patent records. “Automobiles” and parts to automobiles aren’t the end all be all of life. You should feel like a laughingstock anyway. Seems like you might be a little envious that you could never think of anything as clever as windshield wipers.
If I held up mans claim to inventiveness by saying that out of the whole glorious invention that is the automobile, mans sole contribution towards it was inventing windshield wipers I’d feel as if I’d made myself a laughing stock of myself.
I mean just think, thousands of parts and accessories that go to make up an automobile from complex automatic gear boxes, limited slip difs, independent suspensions, turbo chargers and electronic ignitions to basic stuff like brake disks, brake lights, sliding seats, adjustable steering, rear view mirrors and speedometers.
Thank you female inventor of the windshield wiper. I dont know where us men would have gotten without you.
Fiddlesticks??? I was disputing Corveilli’s inacurate comments that women have invented virtually nothing. As a matter of fact, it was probably a man who invented toothpicks.
Fiddlesticks! Here comes Samantha with some unsavoury trivia to rain on the parade.
But ‘windshield wipers’?! Seriosly though, if a woman had invented toothpicks, would you have added that? :)
You shouldn’t be here, as per the disclaimer, but since you’re probably here to stay anyway, welcome to the MABTW boards.
Do, please, check the repertoire of other female posters here (past and present) so as to avoid cliches should you eventually decide to resort to insulting retorts as well.

And you guys should give women a break: they invented virtually nothing, you shouldn’t take farming from them. =P
Corvelli, you really should get your facts straight. Women have obviously invented a lot more than you realize they have.
Stephanie L. Kwolek: invented Kevlar (the material for bullet-proof vests)
Mary Anderson: windshield wipers
Patricia Bath: cataract removal apparatus
Grace Hopper: COBOL (computer language)
Betsy Ancker-Johnson: signal generators
Edith Flanigen: inventor of a petrolium refining method
And many others that I don’t have the time to list. I’m not a feminist, I think that women belong at home in the kitchen and taking care of the children for the most part, but I also believe in being honest and fair.
If there were NO women inventors that would be one thing, but they do exist.
Most women can’t even open a pickle jar by themselves. Either that or they’re just to well conditioned to ask a man to do stuff for them in exchange for stuff to them.
Shoo, shoo!!! GO AWAY!!!

Try “The myth of the matriarchal prehistory : why an invented past won’t give women a future” by Cynthia Eller.
The cultural, archeological, and gender anthropologists who believe that women invented farming have not examined the level of physical effort required to effectively farm.
Whether it was a man or a woman (and I’d bet a man) who noticed that seeds sprout, to suggest that this is “inventing farming” is akin to suggesting that bees and insects are the best farmers going.

I think she is right, it is said that women did invent farming, but one doesn’t have to be a genius to figure out that plants will grow when you stick some seeds… Even chimps know that (they really do). That is probably something that was ever known, but was systemazied by women.
But I have no evidence that women were the ones who first tamed animals. Megan said that women did so because men wouldn’t have to hunt anymore… This is wrong. Animals weren’t tamed for the porpuse of being used as food. They were tamed to do the heavy work and some of them (like the dogs) were used to help men when they were hunting.
And you guys should give women a break: they invented virtually nothing, you shouldn’t take farming from them. =P
Source, please. “Most anthropologists” is no better than an urban myth as a source. Please cite studies that contain evidence to support the theory that women invented farming.
Big Macs are made of animals that have been bred as nearly domesticated as a 2000-pound herbivore could be, over a period of thousands of years. Cattle were no more domestic when domestication began than are the buffalo of the African plains. They were bred and cross-bred over an exceptionally long period of time for both docility and higher muscle content per animal pound.
The North American deer, on the other hand, has had no time to be domesticated as of yet. Were venison considered as tasty as beef, no doubt there would be a large number of deer ranchers and they would breed the animals for docility and high muscle content.
In any case, I’m aware of no scientific study which attributes domestication of cattle to women.
Voice of Reason is obviously the Champion of all feminazis. Either that or Felix.
Either way, I humbly recommend to Dick that she should be banned.
Actually, most anthropologists think you should fuck off my site, Megan.

“When we men invented farming and agriculture…”
Actually…most anthropologists think women invented farming because women were the gatherers, and so had experience with plants and were the sex that figured out, “hey, if I stick these seeds…some plants will grow here, so I won’t have to go out and look for it.” This is backed up by the observation that in cultures that exist in the world today that are still at the stone or early agrarian stage, women do the majority of the farm work.
“We would have just stopped hunting all together and became a veganous species of some kind.”
Actually, that is kind of what happened. Men were the hunters and like women figured out that if they tamed the animals there were hunting, they wouldn’t have to hunt them. Big Macs aren’t made out of wild animals people hunted down…or at least my understanding was that I was eating a patty made out of beef and not venison.
