Nobody who meets the requirements to be able to work, should be held back from it, but they also have to be able to meet the requirements of the specific role. No weakening the requirements to allow for them to simply be able to do what they would like to. If they can't cut it, then they have to try something else. If they can't meet the requirements of something they like, then they'll have to do something they don't like (as much), or try and start their own business.

Money is also a problem. If we look at work like anybody should be able to do whatever they like, and everyone else should just accept it, then why not pay everyone the same as well? 'Think you're more important and should get paid more? Sorry, not anymore. Just accept it!' Well that will never work, but if there are jobs people really like to do, that pay poorly, many won't want those positions, so then what?

The bolded is fine, and the rest is not anything I stated. Never said we should have the same pay for all jobs or change requirements. My goal is to make sure we don't miss out on the next Frances Arnold, Jennifer Doudna, or Emmanuelle Charpentier because we go back to telling women their place is at the home. Whoever wants to stay at home (assuming finances allow), cool, and whoever wants to pursue a career is good as well. 

I didn't say you stated that, I'm just pointing out that it's not as simple as, "build it and they will come". That's a start, but there's plenty more to take into account beyond that, both potentially positive and negative.

We're always going to end up missing out for various reasons in every situation, but yes, we should do what we can to attempt to minimize that.
