It says that but it's not that women choose lower stress jobs. Just a different kind of stress. Children & sick people are stressful.
Women are drawn more to jobs working with people that they find satisfying & they're less likely to worry about the lower pay.

Yes. Earning it, anyway. This doesn't increase their social standing & attractiveness to the same extent it does with men.

It showed men to prioritise raw income whilst women more likely to weigh up other factors like hours, travel, healthcare, flexibility etc.
