Throughout history there have supposedly been women and African Americans credited with scientific discoveries and inventions. The black invention rabbit hole is not one I want to jump into right now, but it has ridiculous claims of inventing stuff like peanut butter and is full of lies as well.
Women and African Americans weren't intelligent or creative enough to actually contribute to science, so what often happened was that they were treated as a type of #meat-computer . We didn't have actual computers or the computers were lacking a lot of the time, so when you hear of a woman discovering a star, it's because a real scientist hired her to stare at a 10 inch region of the sky for 8 hours a day and take notes of everything she saw. It was just rote monkey work. Similarly when you see of African American women in movies such as "hidden figures", they were essentially just meat computers that did the boring tasks while actual white men made the real science happen. Here is a list of meat computers that you will often see given credit as being great scientists.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt – Discovered the period-luminosity relationship of Cepheid variable stars, which became essential for measuring cosmic distances.
Annie Jump Cannon – Developed the Harvard Classification System (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) still used to classify stars by temperature.
Williamina Fleming – Discovered the Horsehead Nebula and classified thousands of stars while working at Harvard Observatory.
Katherine Johnson – Mathematician at NASA who calculated trajectories for the Mercury and Apollo missions, including Apollo 11's moon landing.
Dorothy Vaughan – Became NASA’s first Black female supervisor and taught herself and her team FORTRAN to transition from human to digital computing.
Mary Jackson – NASA’s first Black female engineer who worked on aerodynamics and advocated for women and minorities in STEM.
Joan Clarke – Worked at Bletchley Park as a codebreaker, helping decipher the German Enigma code alongside Alan Turing.
Beatrice “Tilly” Shilling – British mathematician and engineer who developed a fix for the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine used in WWII fighter planes.
Raye Montague – The first person to design a naval ship by computer, breaking racial and gender barriers in the U.S. Navy.
Grace Hopper – Developed the first compiler for a programming language and was instrumental in the creation of COBOL.
Black Human Computers
Christine Darden – NASA mathematician and aerospace engineer who became an expert in supersonic flight and sonic boom prediction.
Annie Easley – NASA mathematician and computer scientist who developed software for rocket propulsion systems, including the Centaur upper-stage rocket.
Euphemia Lofton Haynes – The first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics in the U.S., later working to improve math education.
Melba Roy Mouton – Led NASA’s computing division that calculated satellite trajectories for Echo, Apollo, and early communications satellites.
Miriam Mann – One of NASA’s earliest Black human computers who worked to remove segregation signs in the Langley computing office.
Dorothy Hoover – NASA mathematician who contributed to aerodynamic and flight research during the early space program.
Gloria R. Champine – NASA human computer who worked on calculations for spaceflight trajectories.

Any men wanting to step up?
I'm curious.. what makes men superior to women (in general)?

Although I am one myself, I'd like to clarify that I hate most American women.
Why?
Because they're completely screwed up. Why would I say this? Here are my reasons and findings after witnessing American women's attitude and (flimsy) reasoning on various issues.
1. American women are sluts now
Apparently, being a whore became a good thing as of late. Women are always prostituting themselves and dressing provocatively, having no shame. They talk about their body counts, which are high numbers to hear including from girls under 19. It seems as if almost every teen girl has an Onlyfans now, practically selling their bodies. Apparently this is "empowering" as they call it, and somehow has to do with women's rights. They hate men so much yet the audience they're appeasing is made up of men 🤣
2. They are extremely entitled
American women think they can get whatever they want, and demand it. Remember when they were screaming how they were "oppressed"? Yeah, they still are. Their idea of oppression is idiotic, seeing as how they're practically worshiped in this society. Feminist women are always screaming about how they hate men, and are always applying double standards. I truly believe life is harsher for men, and the government indeed does treat women. Example?
If a woman cannot afford to take care of her child, she will be supported by the government to be able to provide and care for her child/children.
If a man cannot afford to take care of his child, he will be thrown into prison.
See the double standard yet? Another example, American women are basically golddiggers at this point and think the most attractive thing a man has to offer is money and sex. Talk about whores. She has so many standards and expectations for him, yet if he has an expectation, i.e he doesn't want to date sluts, he's now suddenly a misogynist.
Definition of mysoginist?
"A person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women."
He's not a mysoginist if he doesn't want to date a slut like you. Do you want an example of an actual mysoginist? Jack the Ripper.
3. They are stupid beyond reason
This one applies to both men and women, moreso women since they're mostly the ones rotting their brains on Tiktok. Ask a college student from Harvard or Yale extremely simple questions, i.e number of states in America or Adolf Hitler's first name and watch their dumbasses struggle and use the cliche quote "I didn't major in that topic/geography." Tell me you don't want to slap this idiot across the head. Go ahead. Ask them for their premise of logic and listen to the most asinine things come out of their mouths. Speaking of which, The New York Post recently published an article about the whatever podcast, where women are interviewed by some men. They say that this podcast makes women "look stupid", but they're wrong. They just are stupid. From that podcast, one girl said that she started an Onlyfans to "honor" her grandfather. What?
4. Always pushing feminism
We can obviously witness how damaging feminism is to our society. It destroyed the nuclear family and made American women a bunch of uneducated assholes and sluts. They always said they wanted equality, no they didn't. Quit lying, karen. They complain about literally everything and think their lives are hard! American women do nothing except prostitute and create problems. They do not want equality, only entitlement which our society has successfully given them. They say they have so much to offer and act like boss babes, when they're pathetic and do nothing. I understand why men have a hard time finding wives now. All most American women are good now for is sex. Even then 99% of them are already used and lost their virginity a long way ago. Besides that, they never want to take charge of anything. For example, a woman usually will not pay for a date. She usually relies on her partner to pay for her. She might go out with Beta men/men she friendzoned, just to scam them to get free food. No, she doesn't want to be equal. She wants to be pampered. I don't know what suppression she's ranting about, she's gifted and has so many chances to actually do something with her life in this country.
5. They end up alone and depressed
I've discovered why they hit the wall, and how their tactics work. It's their own fault, and although they end up hating men, all she has to blame is herself. She'll always go for the "bad boys", i.e the guys that just want to pump and dump chicks. She'll end up pregnant, and if she doesn't she'll keep partying and being a slut until she hits the wall, and those nice, traditional guys she friendzoned? She'll bookmark them, which means she friendzones them, then years later contacts him that she wants to get with him. The weak simp will end up marrying her, and after she has kids and is in the position to do so, she'll take his children, the house, and half of the money. It's completely legal, too. She'll later end up alone when her kids are grown up, becoming an alcoholic, getting lonely and complaining about how no one wants her. Well, you screwed up your life yourself. No one to blame but you. You ruined your ex's life, and probably your kid's/kids', too. This is the basic life of an American woman. Pathetic, isn't it?
I could go on and on about this, but in conclusion most American women are just screwed up. If anyone wants to go against me, go ahead. I don't see how you'll end up winning.

"Woman need men to survive because everything around you was created by them such as infrastructure." No, not as in being created. In other terms, I don't see the point here. Men had an unfair advantage where woman were not allowed the education nor opportunity at that time to create such things. But men had that opportunity. Would it have been possible with time and education? Yes. You can't simply are looking at something like woman had the chance at the time. Think about the origin. I don't see what you can base this off? And to say woman needed it to survive is simply false. If woman had the education and opportunity, things would have been discovered. We as a society would have found a way to live even if some things like the roads weren't invented. It's even possible they thought the same things or would've thought the same things, but we're denied the idea or did not speak in "respect".
So, the real question. How do you see this? I'm curious in responses on the opposing side because every time it is mentioned it gets avoided.

For various reasons, at least in the United States, men work more than women. This is true for various household set-ups. FtpheDCaYAAbi4m (640×480) (twimg.com) (taken from: The Myth of the ‘Lazy’ Father | Institute for Family Studies (ifstudies.org) ). You could argue that's unfair for men, you could argue that men are choosing to enter this arrangement voluntarily, but in any case it's what is happening.
However, the last bar caught my eye -- it was the worst gap in terms of sex inequality between men and women. When women were the sole income earners, men were working far less than anyone else in any other set-up FtnnW0lX0CYpD2Z (984×965) (twimg.com) . I'm by no means a Feminist, but this certainly appears to be an instance of genuine equality that women face. Not only are these breadwinner women working at a job infinitely more than men, but they're getting about half the leisure time these men do, too. Albeit, caregiving and housework were roughly equal, which is strange because stay-at-home mothers found ways to do far more "work" in general (see first graph), hence the smaller gap between breadwinner men and stay-at-home mothers.
So, the point of this thread is to ask this: why is this happening? Why are stay-at-home dads working considerably less than breadwinner mothers, relative to all the other possible set-ups?
