We Are All In Very Real Danger!

a-bayani:

i kind of never want to post anything on tumblr because it is really upsetting to me when people drool all over white feminist bullshit and white trans bullshit and white anarchist bullshit and occasionally reblog pictures of POC to ostensibly make them look like less of a racist…

I used to be a big believer in the “Everyone is Beautiful” movement. I loved the Dove ads that contained a cast of “normal” women, I posted the “Everyone is Beautiful” pictures on my tumblr, and I consistently told every girl who complained about being ugly that she was beautiful. I have no doubt…

We’ll probably never know how many women inventors there were. That’s because in the early years of the United States, a woman could not get a patent in her own name. A patent is considered a kind of property, and until the late 1800s laws forbade women in most states from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own names. Instead, a woman’s property would be in the name of her father or husband.

For example, many people believe that Sybilla Masters was the first American woman inventor. In 1712 she developed a new corn mill, but was denied a patent because she was a woman. Three years later the patent was filed successfully in her husband’s name.
