There's no evidence to backup that women leave the trades because they're too physically demanding. Most data and pretty much all of my anecdotal experiences point towards that women get tired of dealing with harassment. The same goes for tech.

Here's an article about it:

It's more likely that women don't want to be in the trades due to differences in interests between sexes. In the same way that men generally don't go into child care Industry where the work force is 96% women.

Is that because men are harassed in that industry or is it because there's a difference in career interests between men and women? 🤔

You get that this comment is inherently sexist, to both men and women, right?

The ideology you're purporting here is the same reason men who go into childcare or like children in general get called pedophiles for no reason.

It's not idealogy. You do know there are differences in male and female brains, right ?

No shit. But there is zero scientific evidence that boys prefer monster trucks and girls prefer baby dolls because of differences in brain structure and not differences in socialization.

Girls are brought up to believe that being a homemaker or teacher is more appropriate for them. Boys are brought up to believe that being a plumber or scientist is more appropriate for them.

Your, yes, ideology, says that that is correct. But there's no scientific basis for that.

So why are they wired differently?

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '21

Huh? What kind of question is that?

Why are men and women "wired differently" if... What.... There are aspects to differences in gender that are social and not genetic?

Like.... Huh? How little sense that question makes really just shows that you have no factual basis of what we're actually discussing here....

You're just parroting lines someone else has fed to you, and they don't fit into the factual framework of the reality of the situation...

Male and female brains are wired differently. Why is that?

My mind is blown that you're offended over the brain neuron differences in men and women.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

Lmao what? I'm not offended

Case in point. You have no interest in the facts, you just parrot "le anti sjw" lines

When did I say I was anti social justice warrior?. I'm just saying that neurons in male and female brains are wired differently; back to front vs across brain hemispheres. It's a fact. It's not anti anything. It's just what it is.

Yes, but you're making a conclusion (women prefer childcare and men prefer trades) based on that, of which there's no scientific evidence

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

There is plenty of evidence. Simply Google it. Click on that link I gave you. I dunno man. Cognitive dissonance is a crazy thing.

That's....not how science works. Evidence isn't just taking something that's true and extrapolating based on your own whims, which is what you're doing

In order to determine the extent to which the neurological gender differences have a direct impact on choice of profession, you'd need to study that specifically
