The percentage of doctors who are women is not relevent to this discussion
because the claim I made was that even in today's society it is still the
man's role to defend and provide for women and children.

Doctors heal. They nurture. In the process of doing that, yes, they save
lives. So does the baker when he or she provides bread for people to eat.
Without food, we'd all perish. But that doesn't make baking an act of
defending people or providing for them since the bread is sold.

In the occupations where there is a clear mandate to defend the population
from danger, such as among police officers, firefighters and soldiers, the
overwhelming majority of people who hold those jobs are men. This is a
clear indication that the men gravitate towards these occupations and women
shy away from them because it is still seen as the man's role to defend
women and children.
