Yes! This was exactly the item that bothered me, too. It's also weird because it seems to imply that if women were "allowed" to participate in these jobs that perhaps equal numbers of women would choose to do so. If there are women that want to do these grueling, dangerous jobs, then I'm fine with it, provided no unreasonable additional risk to the other workers in said job would result.

You're right, this is a charged issue, but I haven't had a smoke yet so . . . in light of your assertion about social constructs being inherited, does this not mean that unless men reject all inherited social constructs that they and women who have not recognized and rejected "patriarchy" are therefore parts of "patriarchy" and therefore to be hated by feminists?

If the idea behind this is to win hearts and minds, it's going about it shittily. Advocating hatred is advocating the casting aside of reason. Fuck that.

No Kool-Aid for me, thanks.
