Women Tweet About Men The Way Women Are Mentioned In History

Ever notice a lack of women mentioned in history? Or how they were just described as *blank's* husband or *blank's* mother? Yep us too. It's almost as if they've been blatantly looked over and excluded from history books for centuries. Even today people can have a difficult time recalling significant female figures, so there was a hilarious Twitter thread where women talked about men's historical achievements with the same tone of suspicion and surprise that women's achievements are often spoken with.

    Font - manwhohasitall @manwhohasitall My friend is a history teacher. She's compiling a list of great historical figures and she needs a male to add to the list. Suggestions? 11:18 PM · Sep 1, 2017 · Twitter Web Client 10.4K Retweets 6,028 Quote Tweets 37.8K Likes

    With a beautifully sarcastic tone, @manwhoistall took to Twitter to ask people for 'suggestions' for his teacher friend that needs to include more men in her curriculum. The Twitter thread brilliantly illustrated (and turned around) the gender bias against women, and the results are hilarious. These people did not hold back.

    Hey, this thread is not personal. Men simply have their own strengths and weaknesses, it's not a competition! Sure we've come to a point where men are barely necessary for procreation, but they're still mighty good at opening jars.... oh, and gaslighting as well. I'm sure they have had other talents too, but I'm no history buff.
