What we are all being asked to believe is that while women are generally shorter than men, have less upper body strength than men, have different metabolic processes than men (eg re alcohol), have differently shaped bodies than men, have structurally different brains than men, have IQ's differently distributed than men, and on and on and on... that they must be identical to men in all the thinking that affects career decisions.

The assumption that there are no inborn gender differences relating to career decisions is the one that needs to be proven before it can be relied upon. Up until that happens the only reasonable assumption is that men and women are different in all sorts of ways including the aspects related to careers.

But somehow we have come to a place where the tail is wagging the dog.
