I AM cherry picking. In most cases, yes. I wouldn’t just say mothers and wives, but certainly not cut out to do the most skilled and important jobs, but neither are about 30% of men. It’s well proven that men’s intelligence is a wider variance. More geniuses. Also, more thick as pigsh1t.
in my professional experience, I’ve worked with a lot of blue collar companies - haulage, factories etc, and the number of which are essentially operationally run by a Middle Aged woman on about £15,000 a year is scary. They run payroll, HR, pretty much an operations director. Not the visionary work, not the business planning, but the company ticks over with a lot of their work, and would collapse without them. I also know in the admin team that work for me, it’s usually women who are the most organised, and get things done on time.
I would completely disagree that the majority of women are any more only fit to be wife’s and mothers. A lot of men are only fit to fix trucks and lift palettes, or cannon fodder.
Loads of completely useless men out there
If it’s quoting exceptions, which it is, that’s the entire point I’m making, I won’t lose 10 times out of 10. More like 7/10.
The general narrative is “women can only be wives and mothers and are an emotional mess”
I’m just saying that isn’t an absolute. There are some roles that women are better suited for. Not generally MD, pilot, engineer etc. Yet, there are only a few men who can do that. We can’t ride the coat tails of these men and claim for their achievements as a gender. The top 30% of women are far more competent than the bottom 30%, hell, I’d go to bottom 50% of men. Your female GP is certainly more competent than the guy who works at the petrol station. Or the bouncer/security guard, and fulfils a more important economic role.
