When women were allowed to participate on the battle field or into engineering rooms where they could design weapons, they did the same things men did just as well.
Just as when men are allowed to stay home and raise children they are every bit as loving and nurturing as women.
You're just perpetuating stupid gender stereotypes based on the flawed and sexist past. That is what disgusts me. I understand history, it is your lack of understanding of human history that dismays me.
