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.

Yeah, my point is that job preference is exactly the kind of thing that will be socially influenced in patriarchy, which is alive and well in Nordic countries as everywhere else. Also, most men aren’t falling over themselves to take up low paid dangerous jobs.

...nor decently paid, undangerous jobs like speech-language pathology for some reason.

Well men are disincentivised in professions traditionally seen as “feminine” like nursing and teaching - all poorly paid for work involved - due to combination of shaming and risk of male violence. All social influences...

Male violence in what context here?

Sexual abuse of vulnerable patients/children.

oh right I thought you meant men were disincentivized because of that factor.

Well they are somewhat disincentivised for that too, mainly through hiring practices that rightly have higher index of suspicion for men who seek to work with the vulnerable (like kindergardens).
