First off, don't quote me out of context. I reference their contribution as helping in the war effort at home, and not because they were abstained from fighting. Maybe that's not what you were trying to write, but you seems to imply that considering how you wrote it.
Second off, "any less a contribution" does not mean I'm saying they are equal contributions. It means that even though they weren't fighting, they were doing some part in helping people on the front lines.
Oh I see, it was a figure of speech not intended to be a comparison. I see greater than/less than primarily as comparison operators.
If all you're trying to say is that women did more than nothing during WWII then obviously that can't be argued. Grandparent comment has been deleted but I'm guessing it had something to do with a comparison of contributions?
BTW it's not quoting you out of context when the context is like 200 pixels away, I quoted you for emphasis and brevity trusting that anybody who wanted the full quote had complete access to it.

I can't believe I had to actually explain that...
