Your assertion makes sense, if all men were the same and all women were the same. Unfortunatly, it isnt that easy. I know a whole lot of women who are not graceful, never will be, and who would be terrible at raising a child. I also know a lot of skinny little dudes with no physical dominance or leadership in their bodies. Some women are stronger than some men (physically and otherwise). True, these are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they should be discriminated against just because they're women. The point isn't to achieve 50% representation in every exisiting feild. Its all about the opportunity to perform to ones best ability, whatever that ability may be. men and women do have distinct roles they need to play, but those roles can include a lot more than we generally assume.

I suppose it all rests on abolishing the gender stereotypes and generalizations.
