What I meant, at least as it pertains to the book I'm reading, is that while the woman is just as good, if not better, in her training as a man, the reality is that because she is a woman and only for that reason she is treated as being inferior. So while she wants and deserves equal respect for the job she is doing she must deal with "the realities of being a woman". At least, that's my take on it
