You clearly do not work in science or heavy industry. As a civil engineer, we get the short end of the stick.
I'm a set-gillnet commercial fisherman. I like to believe that my operation of heavy equipment between that and the various construction jobs I do up here would be counted under 'heavy industry'... but then I do have the paralyzing fear of heights, which makes it difficult to work on building a multistory house without a harness or even a stable ladder (let alone a stairway) up the thing...
And regardless... the social benefits we enjoy are incredible. There are advantages to being a woman, and there are advantages to being a man... and while in any given category one might stand a head above the other: in the end, our net advantages are quite nearly equal.
... Why would women have a short stick in science?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
