Before I didn't understand biology. How we think. Why do 3rd wave feminists asks for equal jobs, but don't want women to do the dangerous?

jobs such as oil drilling and life threatening jobs like men do to make it equal? Through this this proves the biology is in play. The stereotype that states women cannot handle heavy manual dangerous labor jobs. I am starting to think biology is a real thing. I used to believe it never existed. That it was a society thing, but now after this, I am having second thoughts on my theory subject.

In all honesty, I don't think any of us want to put our lives on the line each day, or really want anyone else too..we can only be glad that someone does, when the times happen, and this is what they do. I think everyone wants the right to work, when they need and/or want it, and I think everyone wants to equally be paid their fair share for it, when they do work. There are also limitations to consider, since more accidents happen within the home, is it fair to say that a housewife has a dangerous job to do every day. I mean, falling down a flight of stairs, carrying laundry to do, is no joke, and neither is working on an oil rig, in which a person must consider the dangers of that as well.

I think this question is unfair for a few reasons.

It assumes women don't want the dangerous jobs you talk about - some do actually - but it sure is hard to get hired if you are a woman in any of these fields - I tried with roofing and I had roofing experience and was very strong - didn't get a bite.

Also women do an incredibly dangerous job - being a prostitute - and they do it mostly FOR men.

Pretty simple. Feminists don't say that.

And it's hardly a handful of men working on oil rigs dragging their average up. The number of physically dangerous jobs that get high salaries is actually pretty small.

I don't really care what feminists think, want, or what makes them tick. People are people and I grant no favors to anyone just because they call themselves this name or that name. These "feminists are just women to me, nothing more, nothing less. I say if a woman wants to do a dangerous job, and she is qualified and able to do so, do it. Example, women in combat. But while in battle, these women must not expect any special treatment because they are women. War is hell, so when war breaks out ladies, welcome to hell.

They don't want equal jobs, they want equal pay without having to do equal work.
