It's undeniable that women face roadblocks, but they of course are not the only ones. The focus of the question I was responding to was specifically about dangerous industrial jobs, rather than roadblocks women face in general in terms of employment. Since coal mining was used as the example, if women were suddenly eligible to work in coal mines in exactly the same capacity as men and if the men working in the coal mines were doing it purely out of preference, would equal numbers of women choose to become coal miners? Would as many men become coal miners if they were prior to hire at the mine, presented with "cushy secretarial work and various yarn-themed activities" as a way of making a living? I really don't know.
