Multiple, means anything more than 1. Why don't you put the number of countries dominated by female entrepreneurs right next the number dominated by male entrepreneurs and you'll see how useless your point is. You'd be hard press to find a company like Apple, Shell, Fedex, Oracle etc that employes tens of thousands of people that was founded by women. That's simply the truth. And even if you did, for every one you could find there are thousand more founded by men.

"You're putting the entire responsibility for reproduction and families on women. You're reducing me to my uterus, basically, while men are allowed to be actual human beings. And next you're going to tell me that my sole worth is in my appearance and sexiness, because that's the only way I could attract a man."

Huh? A women that puts motherhood above career is not allowed to be a human? So being a corporate slave/workhorse while outsourcing parenting to a nanny is a more noble endeavor than being a mother? What can be more noble than raising a child?

"Women as passive baby receptacles isn't even actual evolution or reality in nature, just wishful thinking"

It isn't? Until men evolve a uterus, you'll just have to be wrong here.

"Our society moves faster than evolution, now. We survive and reproduce at an unsustainable rate because we're brilliant: we've figured out how to utilize all of the intelligence of our species, black or white, male or female, through movements towards social equality. Now we can take advantage of all of the inventions and progress that could have been made by anyone, without relegating them to slave's status."

None of this amounts to anything if a society can't even sustain its population. Germany is now down to 1.4 children per family. In a few hundred years, places like Germany and Sweden will be a Muslim countries because the native born gave up on having kids. The only way these liberal, feminist societies can sustain their numbers is by mass immigration from countries that DON'T have feminist values(i.e. women actually see family and motherhood as a communal duty). If a society can't sustain itself, something is broken.

"Women have changed our society for the better. The first investigative journalist was a woman (Nellie Bly). The idea for public defenders came from a woman (Clara Foltz). Women invented computer programming languages (Ada Lovelace) AND wireless transmission (Hedy Lamarr). Kevlar? Windshield wipers? CCTV? All women. The entire genre of science fiction began because of a woman's novel (Mary Shelley)."

You REALLY don't want to get into is a tit-for-tat over what sex has been the most inventive. You will lose this argument. Trust me on this. For every invention by women, there have been thousands more by men. If men and women were equal in this endeavor then 50% of ALL inventions should be by women. But they never will be for the same reason that women athletes don't compete with males: biology.

"How about we acknowledge that women are incredibly worthwhile human beings, and so are men, and start giving people reasons and incentives to raise families together? Without sabotaging either one's life."

We already had this for tens of thousands of years. It's feminist that came along and taught women that having children is tantamount to slavery and they'd be better served working for (male-dominated companies) and being childless corporate slaves instead.
