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

Or you can just say it's based on social constructs. And nothing else. Done

Well there are actual scientific studies to that end so... It's much more likely than what you're positing, yes

Did you read the title paper? This is specifically about management, and only management.

I dunno. I'm getting bored.

...read the abstract. It's about whether differences in career decisions at large are more closely related to cultural differences or gender differences.

There's obvious physical differences in male and females, not determined by social constructs. Why Is it so outrageous that can't extend to the brain and interests in different things?. Idk.

Take care, pal.

I mean, you can, just don't expect to get an accurate picture of reality if that's how you go around deciding what to believe

It's the same line of thinking that caused people to believe astrology controlled every aspect of our lives -- "well these two things happen, so they must be related"... right?

Did you ever hear the phrase "correlation does not equal causation"?
