Probably because they were priveleged enough to get to their positions?

Sorry, what position was Mark Zuckerburg in sitting in his dorm room when he invented Facebook?

What position were the inventors of Bitcoin & Ethereum in? Both invented by men from poor countries (Russia and, most likely, China).
Harvard Stellar Classification Scheme.
Disposable Diapers.
Radiation.
Kevlar.
Dishwasher.
Windscreen wiper.
Chocolate chip cookies.
Torpedoes Radio Guidance.
DNA Structure.

Women have made many discoveries and invented many crucial products over the years. Just give it a google.

I would hardly call chocolate chip cookies a crucial invention, wasn’t radiation technically discovered rather than invented?

Sitting in a dorm room in Harvard...
Also, Bitcoin and Ethereum are useless. Please back up your claim.

I should have been more clear. I mean invented things in the technology field.

For example, the woman that 'invented the dishwasher' basically made a box with a wooden crank to splash water onto dishes. Not really comparable to say, the first electric car, or almost every big technology platform out there.

You don't seem to understand that many of the these people have come from industries that were even more male dominated back during the time in which they invented these things.
Unsuprisingly, these were also huge emerging industries during the time.

?

Harvard is 53% male 47% female

Yet no females from Harvard are inventing any big tech companies.

FYI, Zuckerberg was not at Harvard in 2017.

If it is useful, buy a mining rig or invest in it.
I'd like to see.how much you lose. Cryptocurrencies are crashing.

I don't disagree that women have made many inventions and discoveries, but the structure of DNA is an odd example... as it was discovered by two men!
Some research has demonstrated that, whilst the average female and male are of equal intelligence, male intelligence is more platykurtic. As such, both of the extremes are comprised mainly of men - in other words, both the very least and very most intelligent people are likely to be men. Perhaps it is these most intelligent men that are innovative.

This theory, however, is contested.
I think the only logical explanation is that they are much too preoccupied with bearing and rearing children and making themselves look good for men.

patriarchy
probably because women were expected to be domesticated and were not expected to pursue anything, things are obviously changing now.

Lol, at first I thought you were listing reasons that men invented everything.

maybe you should make something too!
I assume you're female...

Two men and Rosalind Franklin, the expert X-ray crystallographer who you never hear of because she was a woman and it was the 50s.
