Yeah because no man ever lost a limb or got shot in the battle field, because of his gender.
If you never used a step ladder//lathe/drill/press etc don't pretend you know anything about what men went through in pre modern economy.
This is why socialist narratives are just so out to lunch.
Pencil pushers talking about how capitalism exploited people. Meanwhile they can't even shingle their own roof.
I'll let you have the argument that the dangerous lives of men has receded, and that in modern times men "choose" to do dangerous work.
But I have zero patience that women were singled out in the 1920s.
Your attitude just smacks of a spoiled modern life style.
Even if a perfect 1920s socialist paradise, men would be getting hurt from industrial work.
Our society was built on men doing very dangerous and dirty jobs. They were slaves, they were people that sacrificed everything for our privilege.
To be safe you need the capital to invest in safety.
The 1920s was radically better than 1900. And 1935 was radically better than 1910.
How people like you want to shit all over eras of such immense progress is beyond me.
