I ask because I'm aware that researchers' classifications of traits as masc or fem are inconsistent, arbitrary, or culturally/ideologically influenced. I was wondering what the graphics are based on, like maybe BSRI/CT-GRI type inventories.

4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNowAcross cultures, women *tend* ON AVERAGE to prefer "people" jobs, men "thing" jobs. Says NOTHING about individuals, & is NOT a reason to discriminate in hiring. Why don't we value "people jobs" more--especially re: salaries? That's the key question. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23179757_Sex_Differences_in_Personality_Traits_and_Gender-Related_Occupational_Preferences_across_53_Nations_Testing_Evolutionary_and_Social-Environmental_Theories …2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Women’s choice of profession is a typical result of highly socially conditioned choice, even in the most egalitarian societies who still remain very make dominated. It is impossible to claim any of these findings are primarily biologically influenced.

But in that cross-cultural study, societies with MORE gender equality show MORE sex differentiation in job preferences. How do you explain that?

Here is how I explained it, and a the end of the thread is a well-researched article dispelling the myth of gender equality in Nordic countries.https://mobile.twitter.com/lascapigliata8/status/1157096143756648448 …

la scapigliata @lascapigliata8The problem with the concept of “more gender-egalitarian societies” is that the aggregate scores used to rank certain countries above others don’t differentiate between primary and secondary sources of oppression. They’re all seen as equally important.Show this thread2 replies 1 retweet 4 likes -

It's a matter of *relative" gender equality. Would you dispute that the situation of women in (say) Iran or Saudi Arabia is anywhere close to that of women in (say) Norway?

Even granting that, it doesn't explain at all why in the relatively more equal societies the sex differences in job choice are MORE pronounced. More, not the same.

Yes it really does, due to backlash and remaining male violence and misogyny. Did you read the thread and article I linked for you?

Yes--& while I see those points, I don't think they explain the phenomenon adequately, looked at cross-culturally. Even taking backlash into account, women in Scandinavia STILL have more freedoms than places where women can be jailed or stoned to death for stepping out of line.

Indeed. But don’t confuse things being “better” relative to somewhere else, with things being “adequate”.

Don't think either word came into the conversation. The discussion was about job preferences and whether there are any sex-based differences in those. If anything, it's neutral vis-a-vis whether one job choice is better than another.
