Additional confounds: (d) faculty hiring decisions tend to favor women, so they may earn greater returns on graduate education (e) academic administrations may be more forgiving to women, reducing exit rate (f) physically strenuous roles are an option open almost solely to men

33% of men in the US have a college degree in 2017 as oppose to 14% in 1970. More men are going to college than ever before so I am not sure about this deterrent aspect. I agree that the culture of primary school can be overly feminine and hard for boys.

Technically men have the same choice. In both cases it’s dependent on having a partner who can/is willing to be the breadwinner. Late stage capitalism in a service economy sucks regardless of biological sex

Hmm no I think e.g. Amazon Fulfillment Services is very much a voluntary exchange of labour, goods, and services. It's kind of the epitome thereof, really.
