      Can we please stop pretending that blank slatists are revolutionaries pushing against reactionary biological essentialists who dominate society? You lot have been the orthodoxy for at least half a century now. You are the reactionaries defending the status quo against change.

      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.

      We would do well to remember that society actually needs health care professionals, educators and social workers every bit as much as engineers, physicists and miners.

          We have drives in Cambridge to get more women to apply for STEM. I ask if they couldn't persuade some of my 80% female English applicants to try for Physics, say - with English, History and Latin A-levels - because they aren't making woman at faster rates than they make men.

          This prompted one senior academic to enquire, earnestly, whether I was concerned we were not getting more males to apply for English. I said I couldn't care less, and wouldn't take them unless they were as good as the women anyway. I don't think they really got my point. 😐

          I’ve spent my entire working life as either a nurse or a teacher. We never had strict binary employment rules in reality. Society is more fluid than some “activists” would have us believe.

          We also need good mothers too, in the most fundamental way. I'd be fine with changes that saw motherhood valued more, both socially and financially, so that it couldn't be so easily portrayed as a second-rate or lazy choice by the radical feminists.

          If it was the exact opposite the same activist would complain that the social & educational sector is dominated by men and they would say that women get oppressed by the male teachers... it is an unwinnable battle...

          Probably even more as technology will probably eliminate the male dominated roles more quickly than the female dominated ones.
