I googled your 70% stat and found this [1].

"Two centuries later, women -- who control more than $20 trillion or about 70 percent of global consumer spending -- account for only about a tenth of the voting power on the world’s key interest rates"

You seem to be ignoring a pretty big 'but' there. Plus its 70% of consumer spending, not 'global spending'.

Then you described someone in a wheelchair as 'significantly crippled'.

Also, this poster's reference to ramps and stairs was a metaphor - a tool for understanding. Not literal.

What I got from their comment was nothing you seem to have. I think they were saying that we need to understand the ways people are excluded, and support them.
