A new analysis by David Geary at the University of Missouri and Gijsbert Stoet at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom finds career aspirations from nearly 500,000 adolescents shows consistent sex differences across 80 nations, suggesting biologically-influenced preferences can play a role in gender segregation in the workplace later in life. The researchers also found a tendency for larger differences to appear in gender-equal countries, such as Finland, Norway or Sweden.
"Sex differences in career choices and outcomes are often blamed on social factors, such as stereotypes and bias," said Geary, Curators Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences in the MU College of Arts and Science. "Our study shows that many of these differences are universal and larger in equalitarian societies, suggesting there are biological influences on peoples' occupational preferences."
Geary said this study confirms what the researchers call a "gender-equality paradox," or where increased levels of gender equality in a country lead to larger sex differences, such as in occupational aspirations.
"The sex differences in interest in things- and people-oriented occupations were not only found throughout the world, but mirror those found in a study done more than 100 years ago," Geary said. "The results are consistent across time and place, in keeping with inherent sex differences that make some activities more attractive to adolescent boys than girls and others more attractive to girls than boys."
People push back on the most obvious thing in human existence: men and women are different. No amount of feminism will change that. The Left is in rebellion against nature and God.
Facts are for bigots.

It doesn’t matter if it’s true. “Offensive” overrules truth.
When there’s nothing left but ashes after the fire, forensics will find “xx”, or “xy”. No xby, xyr, xyp, xxw, xym........
Jordan Peterson talks a lot about this - in countries with both the highest economic freedom and advancement, as well as most social choice - boys will choose "boys" jobs, and girls will choose "girls" jobs.
Once again researchers discover that water is wet.
Captain Obvious meme, anyone?
“...larger differences to appear in gender-equal countries, such as Finland, Norway or Sweden.”
Well maybe. But I know a particular math teacher who coddled the cheating creepy boys who went on to flunk out and lose full ride engineering scholarships while treating the girls like they were incapable and two of who now are headed for phds. In math.
Still trying to shake the discouragement from that old horrible creature.
Next, they’re going to tell us men and women are born different.
“A Tale of Two Brains” explains it all and is hilarious.

Men have a greater interest in memorizing trivia as evidenced by the current Jeopardy champion.
Mark Gungor is hilarious.
That was the video that I first thought of. That guy is great. All of his videos have been very helpful to me - and my wife.
My wife doesn’t get mad anymore when I don’t get around to doing something. She just reminds me. Again.
(Heh. I’m going to go take care of something she just reminded me about again last night!)
How long before this researcher finds he has become a target?
Yep
Women Dominate College Majors That Lead to Lower-Paying Work

Women generally want safe jobs in cushy air conditioned offices. With few exceptions you will not see women walking on power lines in -40 degree blizzards, or removing obstructions from sewage tunnels, nor will they dedicate half their lives tinkering in their garages for no pay to invent a computer
