Smart business, hiring more women reduces the payroll.

As an old fart with 3 daughters and 3 grand-daughters, I'm all in favor of women joining every working group and level.

During my career, such events as Title IX took effect and we saw more women
applying and being accepted to medical schools, and graduating.
The other day, I looked at the directory of a large medical office building,
and counted the numbers of male and female first names.
That count was almost 50/50. That's progress I applaud.
But in dentistry, I'm not so sure... The only place I notice women as dentist is in child-specialty offices.

I still take notice when I see a woman on a survey crew or some
sort of construction job site, especially when they have a clip board in hand.
(One "unintended consequence" of this is the reduction of wolf-calls and other
stupid sounds from work crews when a woman passes by.)

Of course, the military has made enormous strides towards equality among job selections.

Now if the Air Force would just join the century.
