No, that's not what I'm doing at all. I'm countering your assertion that women don't want to fight or do hard jobs - something that is demonstrably not the case. Men as a group don't typically want to fight a war either. Mostly, nobody wants to fight (isn't that your first premise - how unfair it was for men to be drafted ?) but that didn't stop hundreds of thousands of women from volunteering when their country was under attack, despite the initial male refusal to employ them.
And, newsflash, there's no food when most of the able-bodied men are fighting unless women do the farming. If they just "pretend to farm" there is nothing to eat. Duh! Working in a munitions factory is one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet, and no, building ships and tanks is not "easy factory work." You really honestly need to educate yourself, because you don't know much about the world that exists outside your head filled with crackpot ideas.
Women were not hired to coal mine in the US, even if they wanted the job, until 1965 when President Johnson signed an executive order making it illegal to discriminate in hiring based on sex or race. A decade later there were 30,000 women in coal mining in the US. Worldwide today, about 40% of entry-level mining jobs are held by women. Tell me again how women don't want to do these jobs.
Women represent a smaller number of surgeons than men because they still face unbelievable harassment and discrimination.
"In 2019, the Sydney Morning Herald published a story on the rampant sexual harassment, bullying, and misogyny that female surgeons routinely experienced in Australia and New Zealand. It’s something that female doctors, and surgeons, in particular, experience in many countries.
To give you a flavor of professional life as a woman in this field, female trainees and junior surgeons “reported feeling obliged to give their supervisors sexual favours to keep their jobs”; endured flagrantly illegal hostility toward the notion of combining career with motherhood; contended with “boys’ clubs”; and experienced entrenched sexism at all levels and “a culture of fear and reprisal, with known bullies in senior positions seen as untouchable.”

To make matters worse, this is a problem that is out in the open but that just hasn’t been addressed. The University of Exeter study found 35,000 cases of sexual misconduct in the NHS in the past five years and reported that “90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct.” In other words, it’s everywhere and everybody knows it, but nobody is willing to do anything about it.
One woman who reported that a senior male surgeon had wiped his face on her breasts during surgery was nonetheless astounded when none of her colleagues who witnessed it said anything.
“He wasn’t even the most senior person in the operating theatre, but he knew that behaviour was ok and that’s just rotten,” she said."
It's funny that you imagine middle-aged women as being so unable to function when what the actual data indicates is that the more women in a company, and the more women in leadership, the better the bottom line as well as the morale.
"Organizations with women in senior leadership roles tend to do better than companies with fewer or no women. A study from Harvard Kennedy School found teams with lower percentages of women also have lower sales and profits compared to teams with a balanced gender mix. The study also reports that profits increase as the share of women increases – up to 50%."
Women doctors also have better patient health outcomes, including female surgeons.
I've never asserted that women and men are interchangeable, or anything remotely like that (women actually have significantly better endurance than men do) but making up stories so you can feel better about yourself is just kind of pathetic. How desperately insecure are you, anyhow?
