We've just outsourced war and physical labor to the margins and places out of our attention.

As a percentage of the total national population, less people fight wars. We have outsourced war to a small and highly competent few.

I was about to sarcastically gloat about how absurd it is that the US didn't allow this until the 60s. Then I checked when it was for the UK (my home country) and it wasn't until 1975! Ooooooof

I mean, both of them have been oppressed. But not in the same measure; the only reason women were not (generally) being sent to war or exploited in physical labor was because it was judged that they were too weak and unreliable for that task due to their being female.

There's an anthropological argument that barring women from military service has demographic reasons too. A man can father far more children than a mother can birth over a lifetime. Losing women would plummet a population for generations, men are more expendable in this regard.

interesting examples, war, labor, pregnancy & childcare. All are seen as burdensome and dangerous by some, but worthwhile & meaningful by others
