if the content of the work itself is made more societally meaningful, women will enroll in droves.
Content == what you're working on. And if we're changing what we're working on to attract more women, it de facto means we're selectively recruiting women.
It's no different than creating a humongous unreasonable fire hazard in your backyard
No, that would be like me getting my hands on a sample of a pathogen and purposely releasing it in my neighborhood. Not being vaccinated is more like not digging a fire break around my house.
Since you appear to love straw men and slippery slopes, I'll point out that if the government can force you to vaccinate your children due to potential future harm to others, then they can order you to do just about anything in regards to raising them:
- What hobbies they have
- What toys they play with
- Who they associate with
- What clothes they wear
- What food they eat
So, basically, what anyone who has an open case with their state's child/family services department goes through right now. Except EVERY FAMILY will be under close scrutiny. Not just gun-lovin', Bible-bangin' nut cases like you detest. And since the state has royal immunity, I guess when stuff like this happens we can all just suck it up and deal.
THAT is why I oppose the authoritarian state.
