That really is the fear underlying the denial of gender difference - if men and women differ, it makes women inferior - which is why I have tried to point out that it is misogynistic. Not intentionally. But it does prevent strengths more prevalent in women from being recognised.

this is where a basic grasp of econ helps, unfortunately a rare thing. Doubling the workforce in any field, will depress wages massively. that's what happened in the fields that were exclusively man's including teaching & healthcare. it's not a conspiracy to devalue women's work

Teaching and healthcare were men's fields?

before ww2, certainly, in southern europe, also in Portugal, teachers and health professionals were man. we were specially conservative, assume similar things from late 19th century, to 1940's for other places. tales about professors in France, for those years, are about man

Oh yes, higher education and medicine. The teaching of children and nursing seems to have been predominantly female for ever tho.

Iberia or south europe may be a special case, were gender roles were hiper conservative, we were much later to change see here progression for US, change from man to women as teachers happens between 1850/1900, Portugal was the case still by early 1900's https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/org/w/wgs/prize/eb04.html …pic.twitter.com/PXDmfFrUDI

We didn't really have schools commonly until the late 19th century!

true, mass education starts from 1880 on, at different speeds in different countries, (the Prussians, had to be them, started almost a century earlier.)
