And yet, every single one of those things you've said is demonstrably wrong. For the most part, companies hire more new workers because they are expanding and they need them. This has no effect on salaries. Why would any company hire workers they don't need?

More and more women are going into plumbing - despite the very real, and already documented challenges to women doing that - including getting water companies and plumbing supply companies to hire them.

And, one of the first statistics I quoted to you is that as soon as Federal law forced mines to hire women and Blacks if they wanted Federal contracts, the number of women who went into mining in the US skyrocketed - 30,000 in 10 years. Now women make up 40% of entry level miners around the world - in all types of mining.

Your entire premise is faulty, and you've not supported anything you've said other than by what you've decided about how it is. I've refuted all you've said again and again with data, statistics, and history.

After WWII many women were kicked out of their factory and farming jobs because employers wanted to give those to returning soldiers. Women didn't want to leave them. They didn't have to wait around another 50 years for more tech jobs to materialize in order to want to work. They were happy to do those really physical jobs just as lots of women are today. Some women don't want those jobs, but then again, neither do some men. The single biggest thing that keeps women out of those professions is discrimination, harassment, lack of access to being hired in the first place, etc. It's extremely well documented and I've already provided you with a bunch of that documentation. You deciding that it doesn't count is you refusing to deal with reality because then you'd have to admit your premise was wrong.

Thanks for the good story idea, though. I do appreciate that.
