Social scientist in Scandinavia have already done the studies, this is very well documented: the more egalitarian a country becomes, the larger the differences in career choices manifest. You can even measure this in babies: boys will hold their gaze longer on things, and girls will hold their gaze longer on people. Listen to science, not 'the science' Keep in mind, the social scientist that took part in these studies were largely left leaning, because hardly no social scientists are on the right spectrum. The data is clear. You can't force people to do something they don't want to do. Just leave us alone please.

People should be free to make the Career choice they want. We should be careful not to conflate: equality of outcome with equality of opportunity. Did you know that in the most egalitarian countries (where equality is the main focus of policy) the differences between career choices in men and women increase, not decrease? In Scandinavia female healthcare workers outnumber Men by 20 to 1, male engineers outnumber female engineers 20 to 1. This came much to the surprise of the social scientists conducting the studies. *Keep in mind. social scientists are predominantly liberal, and progressive. Virtually all (maybe zero) social scientists are right-leaning. These traits are not epigenetic, nor behavioral. We are born with these traits. The studies have been done: boys hold their gaze longer at images of things, girls hold their gaze longer at images of people. I agree in equal opportunity, but compelling people to do something they are not interested in doesn't make sense to me. In most countries, equal opportunity laws already exist.

@mrbill4206 yes, our DNA has been virtually unchanged for 40,000 years but the 'progressives' believe we can somehow circumvent nature. There is also the glaring contradiction that: men die younger, work longer hours, work away from home more, do worse in school, fight and die in wars more, etc etc. The cultural revolutionist cherry pick and only focus on positive outcomes. "Privilege" If equality of outcome was their end game, we would ensure that women died younger. I have a permanent disability from an oil rig injury in Alberta. Not complaining, cuz I made fat stacks, but when my school teacher sister complains about my income, I just show her my injuries and remind her we were working 84 hours a week. Shuts her up pretty quick. There were no barriers for entry when I was working the oil patch. Two feet, and a heartbeat were the requirements. There was only a small subset of men that were willing to do that job (50% of new hires quit within the first 48 hours) but we didn't make special provisions for those with weak constitutions. I actually think it is sexist, and demeaning to give special access to someone based on their gender. The soft bigotry of lowered expectations. If you achieve your goals through compulsion you didn't really achieve your goals, did you? This form of social welfare is damaging to the cause imo.
