WW's Achievements in Science & Art

This thread was requested for me to create by Nerdy Girl. Thanks for suggesting it. Here's some information I complied from my findings.

More postings are on the way. Will edit the post eventually.

 

Excellent. Do consider Grace Hopper, and The Mercury 13 for additions, and thank you!

 

And check out this site:

Hoping I'm not the troll :-(

 

Who is trolling? This seems like a great thread.

Here, let me make a statement. "Women have accomplished great things for science and civilization in general. Here are some examples."

That is, essentially, what the poster here is saying. Can you tell me precisely which part of that statement is trolling?

 

WW are in science, what? When? how??? I ain’t ever seen one or read about one, lol. A WW scientist sounds to me an Oxymoron statement, lol

 

bwaaaaaaaaaa I actually LAUGHED OUT LOUD!

 

Aww, thanks Mikey. I didn't mean to give you homework.

 

Wow, for a place that seems to pride itself on its accepting, open minded attitude towards interracial relationships, there are a lot of people who are very close minded about accomplished, professional women. Grow up.

 

Not all the guys here are like that, and there's the "ignore" function for the ones who are.

 

You are new..

...sit down

...pay attention

...before you start spitting about what is or isn't this site. There are accomplished, professional women on this very site who are respected for who and what they are.

This is me telling you to SIT DOWN






















Actually you would be more correct if you told us to act like children, sense the reality is that children generally are more accepting and work better in groups that adults.

just saying.

 

I guess they showed me lol. Even though I never said there weren't any at all. Well my mind has been changed. Thanks guys. Smh lol

 

Thanks for the tip on the ignore function -- I'll give everyone a bit more leeway before I start using it, though.

But I'm trying to think of analogy here. It's like going to a site dedicated to the acceptance of bigamy (where a man/woman has two husbands/wives), but then ridiculing the notion of polygamy beyond that (a man/woman has three or more).

"I came here to find a group of people who could accept my preference to have two husbands, and who would be open minded about my lifestyle. But three husbands? That's terrible, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"

I guess being open minded in one way doesn't guarantee you'll be open minded in other ways!

 

That's true. Some people here are, some aren't.

I felt like doing it, just so I could become more knowledgeable about this. To honor and respect the site, the focus is specifically about scientific/artistic contributions that only white women have made. Ymra probably thought I was going to post BW in here or something.

 

Nurse, we are out of our meds, can you please pass down our scheduled Haldol, and also get me One and One sitter as well, lol.

Thank you in advance.

Signed,

Your delirious patient.

 

This is an excellent thread, Mikey. Let's see if I can pull something from the wind...

 

A lot of the guys on here are really great and very open minded and progressive. Many of them are also aware of the pockets of misogyny on the forum. However, there are also some men on here who have really jacked up ideas about WW and like us because we are supposedly more submissive.

Anyway, I don't wanna detract from Mikey's new thread. Thanks, Mikey!

 

i think you'll find that they were

a) having a little bit of fun &
b) poking fun at mikey

it's a great thread idea & i don't think the men are saying that it's not
