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.
