I shall not comment your other assertions which denote a strange way of looking at the world, but you are wrong with regards to the Women in Construction advocacy group (probably because you did not even search): there is, at least, one:
https://www.gvca.org/en/who-we-are/w...tion-winc.aspx.
I will give you credit for finding an organization.

I took a look at in a bit of detail. Interesting membership…..

”Our membership base consists of a diverse group of women who work as:
  • Architects and engineers
  • Owners and senior executives
  • Estimators
  • General or specialty contractors
  • Human resource experts
  • Insurance agents
  • Lawyers
  • Project managers
  • Sales, marketing, and social media specialists
  • Tradeswomen”
I’m sure at least one or two of the members put on a hard hat for their monthly visit to a construction site.

Feel free to find a Women in Trash Collection or Sanitation Services as they work to end the discrimination there.

As was said in the article I posted by a frontline airline pilot. Virtually all the women who want to be airline pilots are airline pilots. But I would welcome a society that forces some equalization for the jobs with sanitation services, construction jobs, a sewer workers reserved for women at random with that being the only option. After all, it must be discrimination to explain the discrepancies.

I‘m sure the usual crowd would have told us a little over a year ago that there are not enough female pilots as a ratio in every European country. I wonder what the ratio of male to female soldiers dying in Ukraine is. Maybe a little Women in Trenches advocacy is required. The real discrimination is against men. Women just want preferential access to glory jobs. Funny how bringing to light that harsh reality is considered a strange way of looking at the world, yet don’t be surprised if it becomes hate speech one day. After, Dr.Seuss books along with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are.

Like I said, let’s stay on the technical detail on the incident. The FedEx could have offset by turning 30 degrees from runway track.
