Look at the impact women have had in medicine in the past few decades
They didn't have the impact you think they did. It's like the woman who wrote the code to develop an image of the first black hole, only to later find out she wrote a few hundred lines of code while her male counter parts wrote the other thousands of lines of code. She got all of the credit while they received none.
That’s not a valid comparison. I’m not talking about the role of women in medical research in recent decades (although they have had a great impact in that area too), I’m just talking about women as physicians. In my country we’ve had to start actively discriminating against young women in medicine to try to ensure we maintain something close to a 50/50 split of men and women becoming doctors. Women have really come to dominate that field, and they’ve achieved that without any of the positive discrimination nonsense we see in other areas (and being “positively” discriminated against in my country as mentioned). Society benefits from a shitload more capable doctors I’m sure you’ll agree.
