        As long as you carefully avoid asking why the occupations and industries "women cluster in" pay so much less despite not being lower-skill.

        That isn't really true, and a lot of male dominated occupations with enormous supply but crazy salaries. The whole executive class.

        It says something fundamental about gendered structures in society where teaching, a high-skill job of great consequence, is paid so little.

        All research points to the same conclusion: women have the option to NOT pursue high paying high stress Jobs. And they take that option more

        you are docking the question. Why are some jobs so low pay along gendered lines? Also, on what planet is teaching a low stress job?

        Less travel less hours less stress less responsibilities=low pay. The opposite=more pay. Women who put in the same work get same pay.

        I’m guessing you never thought middle school, or did not take the job seriously if you did. Your statement is a great example my point!

        But is sexism the reason for earnings gap between men and women? Your tweet would suggest you believe so. The article would refute that.

        I would have had my ass beat every day if I’d ever said i wanted to be a nurse as a boy, but sure it’s “sex differences in interests”

        But that's the past. Today, most parents let their children decide what they want to do as a job. That's simply not an issue anymore.

        Nobody who's a nurse today is one of today's children. All their childhoods are in "the past."

        And men will never be as excited about becoming nurses and full time parents because women don't like men who do that.

        That's an interesting thought. I think the stereotype about SAH dads is evolving though. They shouldn't be viewed in a negative light

        The percentage of women who would be okay with a SAHD is extremely low.

        I'm not disagreeing, but I think the idea of a SAHD is becoming more acceptable and will continue to grow (albeit slowly) in the future.
