obviously yes. women back then were too concerned with who are the last cookie, or what the neighbors body count was, to do anything meaningful

Sort of, but definitely not in the ridiculous terms you suggested. Ell oh ell!
Science was a way of observing the world and everything in it, in order to better understand how it came to be and how it works. Science originated as philosophy. We didn’t create wonder, some of us simply have a knack for it. Eventually a “scientific method” was established so that differing observations and interpretations could be measured against each other to determine the theory that best explains a given phenomenon. Yes, this all happened when mostly men were allowed to be the recognized thinkers. Tribes that elevated women tended to prioritize philosophy and religion, but they still managed to develop medicine and healing practices. Many of them are still utilized today all around the world. Some didn’t pass the muster of the scientific method, but others did. In most of those cases, medical science co-opted the discovery and modern people are never taught that the anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin were originally recognized by primitive people chewing on tree bark. Also nearly every modern opiate is ultimately derived from what early humans learned from chewing poppy seeds.
To this day we celebrate Marie Curie for her contributions to science. We must wonder what else we might have learned if more cultures had been more open to the intellectual contributions of women.
There it is again… wonder.

No as a science communicator. I will tell you that science is not a list of things we know and things we don't know. That is how it is taught in US schools but it's not that. Science is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So no one gender developed those methods there is no way to tease out who contributed more to the methods. It is akin to asking the question what gender developed the English language? There is no answer to that question.

You are delusional if you think that your statement is true.

What would be true is that it is accurate to say that men prevented women to create science. They did everything in their power to prevent women from getting higher education and they still do it today.

Taking the gender credit for something that the other gender would have done much better is simply put ridiculous and you know it.

Men are also the ones that are glorifying war, create them so that they can murder, kill and rape women and children. This has been the case since the dawn of mankind and you also know that.

It is because you men are afraid of women that you need to want to annihilate them both physically and emotionally.

it's a subtype of man who even cares about science. nowadays science is cool, but 200 years ago even it was still considered heresy by the feminine and easily offended masses

[Nikki1989]

I guess you failed miserably at school.

Science, as a way of understanding the natural world, has no single origin or creator.

We can say " yes " generally, men are the ones who achieve groundbreaking, era-defining feats, exhibiting extraordinary genius-level intelligence. Men are the ones accomplishing significant tasks, while women tend to remain a bit in the background in this regard, though rare exceptions like Marie Curie do emerge.

No science means knowledge. All animals to bacteria have their own knowledge and react accordingly along with testing things out.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Men as in dick slingers or men as in mankind in general?

[Asker]

it's called mankind because... men are the pinnacle

[ChicoFromThe305]

Men just came first, I believe that's why it's called mankind, I believe somethings are just simple

Men invented blowup dolls so you have something to hold while you cry yourself to sleep every night. How many of your therapists are women?

[Imsmurter1]

Ask some historians not us. I'd say no.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. Men didn't create nature, God did.

Are we talking about many many years ago?
