Depends, some women are more capable than men, others aren't. On average, yeah, women less capable, especially when it comes to physical requirements. Women also change the dynamic of the workspace, and I don't just mean with males and females " fraternizing", I mean they look to make sure everyone gets along, pressure people too, hire people who do the same, are less tolerant of people who think differently (who potentially make the breakthroughs). That does get in the way, on average, of men's good work. But you can't make the sweeping term of all women being less capable and getting in the way, when there's plenty of women who outrank plenty of men in ability. Lot of sub=par IQ men who could not do the job a female doctor is, nor add her value (not that female doctors don't also have a slew of problems, but I'm talking about core ability). No one should be made to hire anyone, nor force people to stop hiring someone (as long as that someone belongs in the country, i.e. not an invader). The empowerment thing is really just part of the movement to to get women to help tear down their own Western society, telling them they've been wronged, that they're great and deserve more, so attack your men. So, empowerment movement needs to end, but belittling your own women is not a good move either.
