To state my actual views here: I believe male and females are not 100% identical, overall, in their natural preferences. In a world where all sexism was eliminated and socialization was equal, I would be *shocked* if employment and gender makeup of all fields became equal. 1/

I believe, in general, men prefer systems and women prefer people. This is of course not absolute - there are many brilliant systems-oriented bio-women (I myself am more systems-oriented than most men), but I think the trend *overall* is innate and biological. 2/

There's also that men seem to be higher variance, from what I can tell - both more and less skilled (although on average there seems to be little or no difference). Thus, in the top (and bottom) 1% of skill of systems-oriented fields, I'd expect the vast majority to be male.

Testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone have effects on the human brain.
People born male and female have different receptors for those hormones.
However, we don't exactly know what those effects are, because of culture and dumb politics.

Yeah, don’t some Scandinavian countries already indicate this. Super progressive but obvious differences/trends when it comes to preferences.

Male vs female perception's quite different.
Women have an amazing ability to notice details, but can be quite oblivious to poses and facial expressions.
I got this working in photography.
Women take quite different pictures.

Are you aware that other countries exist, and refute this point with real life evidence?
