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.

Successfully birthing and raising a child requires a broad base of skills. I suspect the higher degree of elite male achievement is due in no small part to specialization.

Is that based on data or this is an impression you’ve gotten? Also, given the level of overt, systemic sex discrimination within living memory, why exclude that as a primary causal factor in the differences you’re noting?

As a percentage… what percentage DNA are men and women the same… compared to lets say chimpanzees to human? That xy versus xx could contain a huge amount of data… men have less genetic material… perhaps that is part of the differences?

I agree with you 100%. Plus in general really smart women, are fairly well-rounded with high math and verbal abilities, like yourself. Whereas many smart guys are only really smart in math. This limits their career choice/preferences.

Jordan Peterson has good material on this as well which has the same conclusions. It's also why nursing is dominated by woman. In order to achieve equality of outcome you would have to force individuals to do work that they are not interested in or even not good at.
