Yep nothing sexist just prioritizing on the most heavily used routes who'd have thunk it.

Limited resources.
You have X amount of grit to cover Y number of roads or Z number of pathways. Which has more traffic and which is more prone to fatal accidents without grit?
Obviously the roads are going to get priority and even then with footpaths which ones are priority to be gritted the one down empty street or the one outside a school?
It's not sexism it's prioritizing resourcres and managing risk.
To give an example here the first thing that get's grit is the biggest roads and paths to emergency services like hospitals or fire departments. Then smaller roads and things like common routes to schools and so on.

Trying to force a change of government especially from the outside tends to result in violence and if a country is badly split in terms of culture or ethnicity then it's even more likely a civil war will break out.

Energy storage capacity, fossil fuel companies sabotaging projects like they did with nuclear...
Oh and the fact this is a nearly 8000 acre site so you can't just slap them down everywhere.

Typically major weather systems failing results in worse weather than anything they'd normally produce.
