[Serious] What politically incorrect question would you like to ask?

In a burning building, a woman might be able to carry out a child, but probably isn't strong enough to carry out an adult man.

Strength didn't stop women from carrying a gun to the top of the tower at the University of Texas and killing the sniper. Strength didn't stop women from jumping into the icy water when a plane crashed into the Potomac. Victims don't weigh anything when they are floating. Strength didn't stop women from running for mayor of Mexican towns under the control of drug cartels.

The US had unemployment in the 10%+ range until 1941.

That there were unemployed Mexican coal miners does not mean that defense industries were not in crisis because of a shortage of skilled workers. You spoke specifically of high paying jobs, and that's what I responded to. You want to talk about fruit pickers and bolt cutters? Okay, not a damned thing prevented women from picking fruit or cutting bolts except their own desire not to work.

Wartime industry is also notorious for delaying the use of black labor until absolutely necessary, proving that profits and social norms can conflict, and profits don't win out so easily.

Wartime industry delays the use of all labor until absolutely necessary. What wartime industry led the migration of black people to Detroit from 1945 to 1970? See, myths and facts can conflict, and profits always win out.

Those 40% of college grads who were women were largely wealthy women from the upper classes who did not plan to use their degrees in the workforce.

That was my point! Women could have jobs, but chose not to. There was no patriarchal conspiracy of misogynists demanding that railroad and steamship profits be kept low in order to make sure women stayed home.

I'm saying there was systematic discrimination that effected women as a whole.

I agree. The systematic discrimination that affected women was imposed on them by women, not a conspiracy of patriarchal misogynists.

Sexual harassment protections were first enforced in 1976 (Williams vs. Saxbe).

You failed to establish any factual basis for your kooky idea that women couldn't have jobs, so you're changing the subject? Okay. In 1976 the protection that women had against sexual harassment was strengthened. In 2015, men still don't have equal protection.

From birth, girls were pushed away the workforce,

They were not pushed. They ran. Because work is haaaard! It is absurd to say that girls were begging for jobs in coal mines, only to be turned away. What do you think a male coal miner would say if his rich uncle told him he would give him free money and he wouldn't have to go into the poisonous hole? He'd say "Fuck yeah I'll stay home!" But somehow the feminist imagination created a myth where a woman's husband said, "one of us has to do this dirty, dangerous, backbreaking work," and the woman says "Me, me, I want to do it if only you'll stop pushing me away!" Bullshit.

I am wondering what your argument is. Is it that women are inferior? That's what I'm primarily here to debate,

If that's what you want to debate, debate it with someone else because I didn't say it, didn't say anything like it, didn't imply it, and didn't say anything that could be reasonably interpreted that way. It sounds like you want desperately to believe someone thinks women are inferior so you can fight about it, and if nobody does, you'll make that shit right up.

you imply women are inferior.

No i didnt.

You even list successful businesswomen here.

Because I think women can be successful? How is that possible if I think they are inferior?

I think sexist individuals still exist, but by and large not sexist institutions.

Like the selective service, almost every university, criminal and family courts, every public agency that gives women owned businesses preference in contracting, the small business administration, and countless more?
