Let's flip it .....how about we say childcare and housework is women's work. That's not based on ability, talent or aptitude. That is everything to do with gender stereotypes and social constructs.
if you look at careers and jobs...there are certain sectors where a particular gender is underrepresented. It rarely has anything to do with physical attributes and is almost always to do with societal norms and expectations. This starts from birth....think about the language that is used to describe boys compared to girls. There are attributes that celebrated for one gender but ' punished' for another. In the workplace men are described as assertive yet women are bossy.... I could go on.
You are taking a purely social constructivist argument and refusing to account for biology.
The literature is very clear. And this is cross cultural....please note that...it happens in every culture of humans.
In general women are more interested in people
In general men are ^more interested* in things
This is not a cultural thing.
Note on this thread, how many women are describing their ^lack of interest* in DIY. It’s not a coincidence,
So why are there more women in people jobs?
Why do most woman put childcare and family ahead of their career?
If you look to the countries with the most equality, you will see that instead of the predicted surge of women into ‘men’s’ jobs, the very opposite happens. The ‘inequality’ gets worse....more women go into people roles, more men go into ‘thing’ roles.
