Honestly, this is probably true. For a while in history women couldn't even own their own thoughts. No, seriously. If a women wrote anything, had a good idea, or even made up an invention, it was considered property of their husband or father. Sucks, huh? Since men got all the credit for things women did, who knows how many things throughout history they actually did do. It seems like it shouldn't matter nowadays, but it does suck when a guy gets all up on his high horse and says things like "women are useless, they didn't even event anything" and stuff like that.
A nice quote, though it's a shame about all of cheeky comments and the butthurt replies. And before someone blasts me for being a sexist/dumb/asshole/uneducated twerp, I'm a proud woman who just has thick skin or has gotten over herself.
Honestly? If you want to help get over the sexism bump (cough, mountain, cough), don't waste your energy replying to this or any other comments you don't like and devote some of the research you demand others to do to find a way to make a real impact, rather than giving someone else the pleasure of riling you.
And, as another thought, when I first heard about J.K Rowling, I wasn't that horrified. I was amused. "Silly publishers. How dumb of you to think that."
