You ever notice how few slaves throughout history were inventors? It’s similar: when your ideas are considered someone else’s intellectual property, you don’t get credit in history books. When you’re not allowed an education, it’s nearly impossible to take part in the philosophical zeitgeist. When your most productive years are spent in a continuous cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery, your creative potential is diminished.
You’d think, in the two hundred or so nations that have existed, one of them would’ve done things differently at some point. Though it makes this eyebrow-raising in a whole other way. Note to self, don’t marry.
It’s been a couple days, but I think we’re actually hitting one of these points now. In a hundred years, someone might ask why there weren’t any female astronauts or why women didn’t take part in NASA. I just hope we have enough backups for the information that they were involved and vital to the program to get out there.
