>Mining and logging are extremely dangerous, hard physical labor.
Okay, and? There are pushes for parity (or at least more inclusion) of women and men in firefighting, policing, and combat roles in the military, all of which are extremely dangerous, hard, physical labor.
The issue here is that technology is one of the few fields where the fight for the parity in gender is focused. I don't have a problem with that, gender equality is a good thing. Understanding why technology is a focus and different from mining and logging might help us understand and discover ways to bring about that gender parity.

There are pushes for relaxing restrictions on women attempting to make a statement by forcing their way into said extremely dangerous, hard, physical labor roles without stopping to consider the real-world repercussions of said relaxed restrictions.

- marssaxman 11y agoSome people are drawn to activities which are dangerous, hard, and/or physical, whether those activities are intended for fun or profit. Why do you imagine that none of these people would ever be women?
