Women’s Space Peer Support Megathread

The first rearview mirror is usually credited to Dorothy Levitt, a British race car driver, in 1909.

She advised women drivers in her book to carry a small hand mirror and use it to see behind them a concept that led directly to the rearview mirror's adoption in cars later.



Canadian-American film actress
star and inventor Florence Lawrence designed an "auto-signaling arm" for turn signals and a mechanical brake signal around 1914, but she did not patent these inventions and received no credit or profit for them. Her innovative designs were precursors to modern turn signals and brake lights, demonstrating her practical and inventive nature, though her contributions have been largely forgotten

So i find it fuckin wild how calling someone a pussy implies they're weak or cowardly, while calling someone a dick suggests they're assertive or dominant. The double standard is baked right into the language.

And sure being called a dick isn't exactly a compliment either. It means you're an asshole. But notice how even THAT still ties back to dominance and aggression.

Men get labeled 'asshole' all the time, and the insult carries this underlying assumption that they're supposed to be harsh, unfeeling, and forceful anyway. It reinforces the same tired expectation on both sides softness is shameful, and cruelty is power..

Anyhow rant over.
