Due to how our species is shaped, women are more important than men. The goal of a species is to reproduce or at least survive. Happens that one man can impregnate many women, but women can only give birth every 9 months. So, biologically, you need to protect women as they are more valuable for perpetuity.
This is why it is so ingrained in our culture and even psyche.
What is really bad, is that women will NOT acknowledge that status and all the benefits they get from it. (e.g. Kids and women first, not forcefully enrolled --draft--, graced of all dirty jobs, acceptable to be maintained by a man, get custody and child support by default, lower penal judgement for same crime, less likely to be homeless and more support in that regard, higher lifespan...).
The most laughable thing is women contrasting their monthly period and having to carry life with men doing very dangerous, strenuous daily jobs.
It's why women will be prompt to reply along the lines "but outside work".
On top of that, society is heavily skewed to favor women. Dare to hit one and you will understand! Also, say to say, women have the high end.
If you include house work for both gender and professional work, men are at default. (Pay over Effective Work Hours)
Men work about one and half (50 to 60 hour week + housework) as much as full time working women (30 to 40 hour week + housework).
Things is that the figures given are for full time men VS mostly part time women raw.
Yet, it's kind of accepted and society is working at large to have equal pay regardless of hours.
Those are all things women "forget".
Another funny one is about IQ. Women have on average a bigger IQ. But women do also show a lesser standard deviation. That means that women, on average, are closer to their mean. Men have on average a lower IQ. But men do also show a greater standard deviation. That means that men, on average, are further away from their mean. That means that if you get away from the mean (dumber or smarter), there is more men represented, up to seldom finding any women. Hence, more men in prisons and more men doing great things. So, equal representation is not at all equality there! Yet, it's also accepted. (Admittedly, that one is way harder to spot for the layman)
Also, you may think that it's advantageous to pick women for brainy work as on average they are smarter. But what you overlook is that if you take into account only the top performers, then men have a huge edge due to respective distribution. That's the skew we see in practice.
The only case where it works, it's when you are presented a random group of people to chose from. Then you should pick women first.
(Doesn't work for people showing for interview as it's not a finite group and people pres-elect themselves. That work if people are randomly selected, then you need to pick from that selection. Really depends on where you are looking at the bell curve.)
