Not quite, at least not the way I’d envision it…
Imagine Schar being a scale of 1-100.
Anyone who fulfills their potential gets 100 schar.
The fact that teh shoemaker “only” had to make shoes while the Torah Scholar “only” had to learn Torah is irrelevant, as long as they both fulfilled what they are supposed to do, they get 100 schar, and it is the same.
The reward is the same, the journey there is different.
Therefore, the man isn’t getting more schar then the woman, and the scholar isn’t getting more schar then the craftsman – which makes sense, as all are essential for the running of the society.
