I was reminded of something EW said several episodes ago: 'the number one rule of misogyny is that it's always the woman's fault,' which is a slightly longer way of saying 'cherchez la femme'. I can think of some instances in which barring women from certain jobs does make some sense. In China, jobs are categorized on (I think) a 5 point scale. Pregnant women can't be employed in category 4 jobs (which would include construction) and no woman can be employed in a category 5 job (which includes working underground e.g. mining).
