I think women, typically, want to be nurses and men, typically, do not. This is not something enforced by society, but a case of disposition. Men and women are different, you can't expect them to want to pursue the same thingshonesty wrote:One grant that helps women into areas specifically and historically dominated by men doesn't debunk anything. In fact you rather helpfully make my point. Why are women typically more likely to be nurses? Is it because we expect women to be nurses and not engineers? Why is that do you think, is one more womanly than the other?
Show me one place in the world that everyone is equally represented (black/white, male/female), whether a profession or a pastime. Is this forum 50/50 men and women? If not, then there must be some discriminate on this forum against women, says you. OK, then why isn't doll collecting split evenly 50/50 between men and women, the women who collect does must discriminate against the men, right? Jam making and baking isn't dominated by women too, are women driving men out or is it only ever men who do the driving out?honesty wrote:The fact that we have to mandate to get young women into areas that have historically been male dominated just shows that we are still a male dominated society. If we had equality we wouldn't need to do this. Statistics at a population level would show a reasonably even split across all jobs. That women are herded into motherly roles at the moment, which you seem to think is OK, just shows we still have a gender bias in what we expect women to do.
Here is a video for you. If you (or anyone else) want the wage gap, gender, even race disparities (with regards to representation) explained, watch the video by noted black economist Thomas Sowell:
