that’s true. But there is also the matter of how traditionally women’s work is valued compared with men. It is hard wired into our systems through a series of statistical tricks that were designed in the 1950s to reflect social values at the time. Those social values reflected a strong push to get women back into breeding to replace the men lost in ww2. They also reflected a desire to get women out of jobs they had done quite adequately in factories handling machinery and weapons as part of the war machine Those jobs reverted to men
it further reflects a very traditional view that women were there to breed or to be eye candy and shouldn’t jeopardise that.
