Do you think your comment was any of those things?
Why are you free from the bounds of courtesy, but fall back on them the moment someone responds in kind?
Do you really believe that women cannot arc weld?
Do you really believe that women cannot scuba dive?
Do you really believe that women cannot lift 25kg or take out the trash?
If you do, then it's rather unkind and incurious to cast half of the human population as so fundamentally incapable, and you should bring evidence to support your assertion.
If you don't actually believe it, then the substance of your comment is unkind snark, no?
Your original comment is just a warmed-over version of "women wouldn't last a day in a real man job"
We've been hearing that repeated ad infinitum as women have continued to prove the assertion wrong.
For the record though, I don't think anyone should do a job that has a 1/15 fatality rate. Men shouldn't be cannon fodder either.
