    I hate to say it because it goes against my deep & abiding prejudice against libertarians but Will Wilkinson is smart.https://twitter.com/willwilkinson/status/896095008641634304 …

        One obvious issue is the difference between Doctors and Nurses, which do extremely similar work, but men rarely go into nursing.

        Any "biological" explanation you could come up with for why women like to be nurses would also apply to doctors.

        Yes, Will is the kind of libertarian who really pisses off libertarians, who think he's a liberal.
