But yes. This is what reasonable people keep arguing. But its not what was done historically & feminists assume it can't be now.

It's economics I guess. It just makes more economic sense right now to pay coders more than carers.
-
Could it be because they won't do the job if they don't whereas women more likely to accept lower pay for satisfying work? (I don't know)
-
Well, it's more just the importance of IT right now to the economy. Carers are important, but they don't produce vast profits.

By caring for the children, the elderly, the sick for relatively low pay, their family members can go out & earn better money.

Well sure.

OK, well the link with Marxism just occurred to me so I had to share it. :-p

It may be easier for men to be shut out by society because maybe they need more attractive traits to be accepted by peers.
