That's so insulting.
Rosie the Riveter was meant to be just a "can-do" housewife, who went to work in the factories and such to cover things that needed doing while her conscript husband was at war, whether she liked it or not. In a time when factories and construction and the like involved heavy lifting, dangerous machinery, and not so much safety and the like in general. I grew up in a factory town, I remember lots of older men having missing fingers (and they'd tell you not to cry about it, it was their own fault for being sloppy). It was meant to be an inspirational part of the War Effort, especially since she might still have had kids to raise, and was also expected to sort and recycle her pantyhose, and plant a Victory Garden. But it's still better than being fed to the front lines ....
And most of them were happy to go back home, fuck those shitty jobs, and enjoy the new inventions of television and the soap opera. :P
This? This is ... ugh. Let's just say, I'm not inspired. Not one bit.
