Well, it doesn't make much sense to wait until all the economists agree, and only then work for pay equality. In the meantime, we should support both the economists AND the activists in their work. Both are vital and important.
Given that this is consistent with differences observed all over the world, in babies too young to have been socialised out of any interests, in other apes, to manifest far less in lesbian & gay people and to be experienced as a change by trans people taking hormones...

...it does seem likely that men and women are not cognitively & psychologically identical and that no matter how much you offer women opportunities to make the same choices as men in the same numbers, we still might decline to do so because men are not the default humans.
-
It seems likely but the actual research seems to indicate that we know less than we think about what those differences actually are, objectively, and what we think we know is often wrong. Again, we need more and better studies.

It would be a good start if we were allowed to mention the masses of evidence we already have without risk of getting fired like Damore. It's not that the info isn't out there & replicated time and time again.https://heterodoxacademy.org/the-most-authoritative-review-paper-on-gender-differences/ …

How many of these observations have been empirical and quantifiable, though? I mean, I'm assuming the ones with apes were, but with humans? It's important to separate stereotypes from actual empirical data.
-
I don't need telling that its important to have empirical data, btw. The data is what make me so frustrated with theoretical and unsubstantiated cultural constructivism which is proving difficult to budge an inch no matter how much evidence you throw at it. It's very dated now.

We always need data to falsify the dominant hypothesis, but everyone is happy to go along with it without a shred of evidence.

There is increasing pushback against the blank slate ideology but long-entrenched ideas which appeal to ideological values take time to shift. Generation Y might finally crack it. No orthodoxy can stand forever. Blank slatism has had its day.

It's uncontroversial outside of a narrow ideological segment. When I talk to my sisters about this they're like, "yeah, no shit men and women have different interests (on average)".
