I'm not calling this out as an anti-male bias. I don't think the original poster is biased, misandrist, or anything of that nature. They're just over generalising. Women should be allowed to work because it is the right thing to do, because human freedom and equality is to be cherished axiomatically. The argument that women should be allowed to work because they are "the most productive half of the population", is a non-starter----both not true, and distracting. Even if some subgroup is terribly unproductive, they should still be given equal treatment merely for being human. Productivity, intelligence, aptitude, etc. should have no bearing on what ought to be natural human rights.
