I tend to think that refusing to bow to it & encouraging others not to if they don't want to is a better way to change expectations. 2/2

I think we've made significant progress & will make more in supporting people's rights not to live according to gender roles. This is good.

Yes, of course. My point was that you seemed to say that being pressured into taking high tech jobs coz status doesn't reflect real choice

Where this doesn't happen, more men still choose the engineering option than women.
