In feminism, it stems from the fact that differences between men & women have been used to say women are inferior & should be subordinated.
It is simply insupportable for anyone to say men have a higher interest in or aptitude for anything - can only be sexism.

Yeah, I guess. There is the debate over whether genders have different average interests, which I think they do.
-
And it's annoying that stereotypical male fascination with machinery seems to be more valuable in jobs market than F interest with people.
-
I'm not entirely sure why that is. Might be a hangover from days in which women were seen as not needing to be paid as much generally.
-
No, I think it's just that we have a hi-tech economy where skills with machinery and coding pays more.
-
And these types of jobs seem to interest men a bit more than women - on average. Cos more male nerds.
-
Men more interested in how things work. Women in how people work - on average.
-
Exactly. Computer nerds disproportionately male. It may get more female but I doubt we'll ever have 50/50.
-
Even I am more interested in how people work but I choose long dead people so I don't have to actually talk to them. ;-)
