Just in time for International Women's Day, the Vatican informs us of the answer to the following question: “In the 20th century, what contributed most to the emancipation of Western women?”

    That's right ladies, the washing machine. There have already been some dissenters with this answer from on high, proposing instead the freezer, automatic cars, wet wipes, Chardonnay, disposable diapers, and the dimmer switch. Any nominations from you all?
