What's shocking is that these areas are still gender-dominated. Why should they be?



Why should they not be? Men and women have widely different interests. Let it be.


Do men and women actually have different interests? Or have we all just been shoehorned into interests because someone decreed: "Let it be"?


Much of the research on the topic indicates the former. Gender bifurcation in jobs is even more pronounced in more egalitarian countries [1]. Babies exhibit different gender preferences for toys at ages less than a year old [2] [3].

Why is it "shocking"? Why are you saying "gender-dominated" like it's a bad thing? Which areas are "gender-dominated" that you are upset about?
