- The first game of Monopoly: Elizabeth Magie, “The Landlord’s Game” (1904), created 30 years before a man created the game Monopoly. A typical case of “she said a joke and a man just said it louder.” Speaking of which, why don’t you give a shoutout to our girl Rosalind Franklin?
- Dishwasher: Josephine Cochran (1872), of course this took a woman to invent. Why would a man try to make a woman’s life any easier? God forbid women become more and more efficient. If they’re stuck doing all the dishes by hand, they’ll have no time to complain about how they can’t get a proper education.
- Foot pedal trash can: Lillian Gilbreth (1900s), you ever thank fucking God that you don’t have to bend down to a 45º angle to lift the lid off the trash can to throw something away? Don’t thank God, he did absolutely nothing, thank Lillian Motherfucking Gilbreth. (That’s probably her middle name, I don’t know, I’ve never met her personally).
- The G-spot: (made up I don’t know when) I don’t know who made that up but I am a man who is really good at the sex and I STILL haven’t found this so-called “G-spot” out of all of my one and a half sexual partners so I am going to assume women made it up. Typical liars. They say they want someone who treats them like a queen and yet all nice guys finish last. (We at The Medium would like to apologize for the statement above. We are pro-women during Women’s History Month and will not stand for such sentiments. Thank you.)
- The ice cream maker: Nancy Johnson (1843) you know that box that has been sitting in your kitchen closet/basement/garage for the past 10 years collecting dust? Yeah, a WOMAN invented that. You’re fucking welcome. Maybe this summer you’ll actually use it.
