don't see how this is contra idea of roles. rather, economic prosperity simply allows for more substantive social construction of gendered roles. not obviously innate and still possibly (probably) influenced by early patriarchal forces. what am i missing?

Those "patriarchal forces" must be pretty quick off the mark to have infants conforming to gender roles within days of being born. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163638300000321 …

A study from 18 years ago by authors who have been discredited oh me oh my??? If only we had meta-analyses across many substantive areas that demonstrated no consistent substantial mean differences not explainable by some other contingent factor...oh wait.
-
"Authors who have been discredited"? Maybe by The Guardian. Simon Baron-Cohen is a University of Cambridge professor

Flaws have been repeatedly found in his work, on autism, on gender, on 'theory of mind', and on similar subjects. He should probably take a hint from his nephew and not be a total chump.

Someone like you should take a hint and read a meta analysis of gender differences observed in toy choices in babies, instead of cherry picking "flaws" in studies and author. Wouldn't that be great https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/icd.2064 …

Here's 13 reviews, meta-analyses and book length studies on the issue as well discussion of each:https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1029218952969371655 …

lol ain't children like picking up a toy kinda dumb anyway since the kid is choosing from within the limited framing conditions set by the experimenters and selected only from what is available within the lab, which is obviously an artificial situation in the first place?

Sociologist here. This finding in fact confirms exactly what gender scholars have argued for a long timehttps://twitter.com/PEngzell/status/1052992972084695040 …

This may be true but the measure of egalitarianism is problematic. E.g. measures of gender equality focus on formal equality in a limited number of areas of little relevance to most people.
-
Unfortunately, you're right: Equality of opportunity means very little to people because that means so.e people will have more than them. What matters to them is equality of outcome.
-
If equality of outcome is desired how do you propose solving the imbalance in university courses taken. Do we force women to take stem or block male intake and lower overall count of people entering those fields. Neither sounds good

You should read more carefully before challenging people.

Hmm, looks like it will teach me for having a few twitter windows open at once lol. Think my reply went to the wrong person, sorry about that :)

Studies like this drive feminists mad. Traditional gender roles are supposed to be the patriarchy in action. Always.
-
I am not sure this study says anything on the matter of patriarchy. The fact that a better economic situation allows women to freely choose their occupation, doesn't say anthing about the cause of different choices. Could still be caused by nature or nurture.

It dorsn't say what forms your desires. Nature? Nurture? A combination if both? It doesn't offer any insight on the question.
