Women: “We don’t need men.” Military — 95% men Firefighters — 97% men Coal miners — 95% men Truck drivers — 90% men Construction workers — 92% men Oil rig workers — 96% men Surgeons — 82% men Engineers — 89% men "The world runs because of men." Okay, let's finish the list. Teachers — 76% women Nurses — 88% women Social workers — 83% women Child care workers — 94% women Elder care workers — 80%+ women Administrative & clerical staff — 72% women Medical & health services managers — majority women The care economy that raises children, educates society, cares for the sick, and looks after the elderly is overwhelmingly female. Still not done. Prison population — 96% men Sex offenders in prison — 98.5% men Sexual offense prosecutions — 98% men Domestic homicide perpetrators — 90% men Violent crime offenders — 85%+ men So if we're going to credit men for everything society builds, we should also acknowledge who commits most of the violence that society has to deal with. And while we're at it: Childbirths — 0% men. Every man who has ever existed got here because of a woman. Militarys exist largely because humans wage wars — and historically, wars have overwhelmingly been started and fought by men. Nobody said men are unnecessary. People said misogyny is unnecessary. There's a difference. Many of the industries used as examples of male dominance were fields women were historically barred from entering. Women were excluded from combat roles, denied access to engineering schools, shut out of trade unions, fired for pregnancy, and legally prevented from entering entire professions. You don't get extra credit for dominating spaces where others weren't allowed to compete. The reality is simple: Society isn't built by men alone. Society isn't built by women alone. It functions because both contribute but often in different ways, often in ways that go unnoticed.
