I have come to enlighten you that there is no Men’s history month. As we spend one month studying the first list of inventions by women, we should have another one to study the second list of inventions by men. If you look at the lists, each bullet corresponds to another bullet on the other list.

While we spend a useless month (I don’t even know which one) learning all about women who invented things such as:

• Windshield Wipers
• Fire Escape
• The Life Raft
• Liquid Paper (White Out)
• Alphabet Blocks
• Paper Bag
• Street Cleaning Machine
• Submarine Lap and Telescope
• CPR Mannequin
• Disposable Cell Phone
• Engine Muffler
• Portable Screen Summer “House”
• Safety Device for Elevators

I think we should have a men’s history month also, and we can study about the men that invented or discovered these:

• The Car
• Discovered Fire
• Ocean Liners and Ships Etc
• The “Backspace” key on the keyboard
• The Alphabet
• Paper Bag Making Machine
• Streets
• Submarine
• CPR
• Cell Phone
• Engine
• House
• Elevators

I like the men's list! Did you make all of those up or get them from some website? I like the one that was comparing whiteout to the backspace on a keyboard!

to the mens list you forgot to add "women's rights"

I made the lists, but all the inventions on them are true.

Credit if anything would go to the Simpsons, as I came up with the list while watching one of their episodes. Marge was trying to tell the children about the importance of women inventors and about how they invented windshield wipers which made the car much safer. Homer then says yeah, they work perfectly with the male invention, the car, and he and bart high 5.
