If we're all equal, why have some of the greatest heroes been men? Why don't women speak up and spark revolutions?

It is not really a sexist thing, or sexist as we know it to mean. Males are naturally better at certain things, as are females. Males would be out of their element by replacing their testosterone with estrogen and their male tendencies with female tendencies. Women have done such things, though they are rare. Think of it like this. Women reserve the right to let men do things that they can live without doing, but are still very capable of doing.

There have been some heroic women (i.e. Joan of Arc and several women who masqueraded as soldiers in the Civil War), but their accomplishments are ignored in favor of men's. As another example, there have been prominent female rulers, such as Queen Elizabeth and Hatshepsut. But the latter's influence has been largely underestimated because her male opponents wiped out the records of her deeds after her death. Also, lots of women's achievements aren't in government or war, which society favors because they're masculine pursuits. Lots of women, such as Margaret Sanger and Mother Theresa, have been advocates for social change(whoa, I can't believe I mentioned those two women in the same sentence).

Because until recently men chose to ignore women. Only in the western world, and the last 40 years or so, have women had a voice.

What are you talking about? I fight with dust bunnies, laundry, spider web, leaves, daughter's homework, fight for family's well being, nutrition, happiness. I struggle with calories and sport with idea of being a beautiful woman for my husband, so he would be proud of me. I fight for savings, for gifts, for insurances of all kinds... I lose some battles on my way to win them later. The only thing - I'm too busy to join military and defend ideas of some filthy rich ambitious politicians that would give me a BIG NAME in return of serving their interests. Besides that - I am a hero!
