The implied premise that "when men do a job it's unremarkable, but when women do it it's special", is far more condescending to women than men. There are plenty of fields with far more female representation than male, yet if you made a video titled "Supermen: all male nursing ward" you'd get laughed out of the building. And rightly so.

Get back to me when we no longer feel the need to blow a trumpet every time a woman does something mundane. It only serves to accomplish the opposite of its apparent aim.
