Your occasional reminder that men are not the default humans and that women are not necessarily victims of cultural conditioning or doing life wrong if we don't make the exact same choices as men do in the exact same numbers.

If you want to convince women we should favour jobs which focus on things rather than people or that we should care less about work/life balance & more about raw income, at least put forward a better argument than 'that's what men do.' Otherwise, accept women's choices as valid.

I thought we all moved on from this debate about 2 decades ago didn’t we?

The firing of James Damore for saying gender differences exist stands out but I am sure you cannot have failed to notice a huge drive to get women into male dominated jobs because of an assumption that discrimination or cultural conditioning prevents equal uptake.

There is profit, prestige, power, privilege (haha), position, and pride available for those who play this murderous ideological game of identity politics. Putting a stop to it would mean that they have to actively answer for being frauds and causing harm. They lose goodies too.

Good line, and one I run myself in similar contexts. But in a society where status is linked to (supposed) lack of status, and nothing is worse than the "status quo," this is inevitable—the orthodox will present themselves as heterodox, while having the vices of both.

"Reactionaries defending the status quo"...So, biological essentialism is now the status quo and these "reactionaries" want to return to it? Hmm...
