I don't understand.

Why? Can you not read?

Have you ever thanked a man for polio vaccine?

*smirk* The subject line is my way of poking fun at Society, who
often says "thank a man for
(nsert whatever here).

Were the inventor of the polio vaccine still alive, yes.. I would.

The inventor of windshield wipers isn't alive either, so why should I
thank a woman for anything?

You shouldn't, idiot.

Good. I never do, and I don't advise that anyone else do it either.

The status quo of not thanking women for anything works fine for me.
The windshield wiper is a useful device, but it doesn't win my heart.

Not only that it would be completely useless with the car, invented
by men.

The Simpsons ( Sorry, don't have the episode title, but a note I
have shows an Apr 30, '06 air date. ):

Marge: It was a woman who invented liquid paper.
Homer: And, you know what a man invented ? Actual paper.
Marge: I think it was a woman who invented the windshield
wiper.
Homer: That goes well with another male invention: the car.
( High fives Bart. )
Marge: Well, I think a woman might have invented nylon stockings.
Women wear lots of those.
Homer: And, men invented suspension bridges, rockets, constitutional
government...

The point, of course, is clear; Women's few inventions are easily
" celebratable " *because there are relatively so few of them*.

Just as saying " men and women " when speaking of what men, only,
did, where one would have to, say, with the Vietnam Memorial Wall,
with it's 58,000 dead men, and 8 dead women, one would have to say
" Our brave men, men, men, men, men..... ( 7245 more times ) and
women. " in order to be *in proportion*.

Now, when women invent 50% of everything, build 50% of everything,
pay for 50% of the dates, and pony up their three months of Equal
Pay for their dowry gift to their fiances ( Not to mention
pay for their fiances' $15,000 batchelor partys. ), let us know.

Until then, if you like modern technology, thank men, men, men,
men, men, men, men, men, and women.

But, if you dislike, say, paternity fraud or false rape accusations,
hold women, women, women, women, women, women, and nancy-bois
responsible.

HTH. :-)
