It is OK because caring is loving. From those who can, for those who need. If a profession demands masculine traits (consider underground mining) then it should be performed by those who can make the most of it. If we insist on having under performing people on those positions based on some ideology then all will suffer . When someone dies we will have to face the reality that the cure could have been here now if the local mining facility had produced more steel, to make one more car, to get that researcher to the lab in time, to produce the cure. Everything has consequences, and it is logical that we should do our best.

Women have only been in the workforce for 100 odd years, and there is decreasing desire/need to be having babies all of the time. And in some professions, the gender divide is more of a self-perpetuating cycle (there are examples of this for both sexes), based on the historical workforce, rather than being inherently suited to one sex.
