#1 If these numbskulls continue to go all-in on the civil rights/equality thing, we need to force the "women register for the draft" down their throats. Can't do much more damage at this point, and might make for a salubrious "Learning Experience".

#2 Notice how many women are lining up for those jobs on Deadliest Catch? For some reason they are not 'proportionately' represented in these types of jobs. About as many as you'd find male elementary school teachers. In the world of potential death and dismemberment, the dirty end of the stick is handed to one gender. Where's the equality in that? Hint - its about power, not equality or fairness.

#3 Just because 'They can' doesn't mean 'They will'.
When exclusionary behavior is applied to 50% of any population, the socially perceived value of common included and excluded subtypes is diminished. Gamers, Coders, Checkout Clerks or Thumpers should not be gender selective.

#4 Not too unlike the construction industry. Companies actively recruit, offer child care, etc.

Still only about 5-6% of the 'heavy' construction trades as a whole though, and even less in the 'craft' trades (Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, etc.). Some government contracts REQUIRE 15-25% female laborers, so it gets real tough to comply.
