Foody if you hate the male gender so much why not get a sex change otherwise I'm seriously (And I do mean seriously) dislike hearing all this crap on how bad men are! Get a sex change bro or quit complaining ! You say no gender bashing here but you have done all the gneder bashing......There are a lot of things men can do women cannot do and vice versa but like Lameese said our pros and cons compliment each other. Simple!

Listen...you know that search engine Google.  Type in "discoverer" and "Penicillin".  Look at the wikipedia entry, go to your local library in an encyclopedia and you won't find a mention of this magical nurse that discovered penicillin.  The vast majority of sources don't mention this nurse whatsoever.  So given the thousands of sources which prove that a MAN-Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin and some source which I have yet to find say otherwise, I think it prudent to believe in the latter rather than the former.

A degree in medicine here in North America is called an MD(medical doctorate).  It allows one to practice medicine.  Diagnosing illnesses and writing prescriptions.  I did a residency in family medicine.  I also have a BSc in Immunology.  Maybe I should send you my academic transcripts and my degrees too.   Would you like my license number as well?

Don't imply that I get my info from "feminist pamphlets" because you do not agree with what I have said. I know who Flemming is. Now do some homework of your own and read what actually happened. His nurse discovered it and as is the male way, he took and got credit for it.

What is your "Medicine" degree?

Assalamu Alaikum!

Wouldn't it be better for us if we simply recognize that Allah has blessed both men and women in specific ways. "Specific" in the sense that there are certain things that men can do, but women can't, and Women can do, but men can't. And there are also things that both men and women can do.

002.177
YUSUFALI: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

PICKTHAL: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.

SHAKIR: It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).

And ultimate success in Duniya and Aakhira ( here and hereafter ) doesn't depend on our gender.

Peace

I didn't say that there were no female inventors or CEOs.  It's just that for every female inventor there are a hundred more male inventors and for every female CEO there are a hundred more male CEOs.

As for a woman inventing Penicillin. I'd have to strongly disagree with that.  I don't get my information from feminist pamphlets.  Look up Alexander Fleming if you want the real inventor.

Lameese is right, and if women were given the chance and schooling they would achieve much more in the world. Megatron I am assuming you had a mother who raised you. Raising good and responsible children is much harder that being an engineer or accountant. And my M.B.A. husband thinks my job is much more challenging than his cushy office job. When I left the state to visit family and he was alone with the kids for four days he was counting the minutes until I got back. And he said I don't know how you possibly do this when i am gone for 2 weeks sometimes. And by the way Allah Pak makes the world go around, not egotistical men!!!!
You cant be a good muslim if you are not decent and have a cold heart. Be a decent and kind person and care for women and children and the elderly.
