History some find it sexist. My former instructor was very uncomfortable about it.

Michio kaku,a physicist. says where type 0 civilization, I think he says a type 4 civilization is able to control galaxies and black holes. He quoted that in other words, that will be able to be a type 1 civilization in a 100 years being able to control earth and completely receive energy from the sun. Will we make it to a hundred years?

OP, given that for the majority of the time comprising written history, only males were allowed to do things TO create grand accomplishments, it stands to reason that it would be HIStory, no?

I don't think so, because of the root word, and it's latin meaning The real definition of it.

Regardless of the root meaning of the word "history", you dispute that, in practical and literal applications, it can be/should be read as "his story"? Hmmmm...I guess my vision of "history" differs from your revisionary version of it.

Sorry, OPie...my bad. Your OP read like you were interested in having a discussion, not just simply looking for men to agree with you about how the wimmins is. I'll not disrupt your thread's purpose, any more.

And that is the way it should be Oh. You missed my earlier post where I indicated since this is NOT intended to be a discussion but rather a gathering-place for the men to commiserate about how awful the wimmins is, there's no need to quote me, like there WILL BE a discussion.
