>truly exceptional women If you allow any kind of "exception" whatsoever in the first place, it eventually results in our current situation, without any exception. There are countless numbers of vital reasons to not allow any kind of exception about "career women". To list just a few of them: 1. The "truly exceptional women" itself is a myth, if you are talking about a truly historical figures, not just "wow, that's really smart" ones. For example: Emmy Noether is a massive hoax, all of "her" work is either a direct consequence of other people's work or just trivial. The only "exceptional" achievement of Marie Qurie is that she is married to Pierre Qurie, a truly exceptional chemist. The list goes forever. 2. The most intelligent women should be married at young age and have more babies, instead of going college and wasting their most fertile ages. Really, do you want a dysgenic future? 3. The existence of a female in a predominantly male group is by itself severely destructive to the group. No amount of so-called "truly exceptional women" can even remotely compensate this negative effect. 4. To allow women in what is traditionally considered as men's institutions, first you must destroy, or at least crack, the cultural "gender norms". Culture is not a static thing, it constantly changes(albeit slowly). And allowing exception for women to infiltrate men's group gives some kind of negative "inertia" to the direction of that cultural change. You know, the slippery slope is real in politics. 5. (this is related to number 3) Allowing women in predominantly men's group necessarily makes so many problems, primarily sexual ones. And not only you waste tremendous amounts of otherwise unnecessary costs to resolve these dumb female-related dramas, along the way you gradually destroy the masculine culture of the group to make the group more "comfortable" to these females. This cannot be avoided unless you just outright ban women in the first place. Maybe you can declare some preventive rules like "if there is any sexual issue, it is always women's fault" or "women should not do this and that", but that rules never can be upheld in the long run, because ironically, men of the said group would eventually overturn it for various of stupid, dumb reasons made by females who plays typical victim cards. Again, this cannot be avoided in any way, unless you just outright ban women completely without any kind of exception in any circumstances. p.s. Sorry for my shit English, I'm not a native speaker.
