Why is it that when society sees a gender gap in a profession that is dominated by men they see something that needs to be fixed, but when we look look at a field that is dominated by women, such as grade school teaching or nursing, all is good?

Can we just say that women usually don't like math as much? That isn't generalizing all people, or saying that the best engineer in the world couldn't be a woman, just that that's how the cookie has crumbled. Make sure it isn't because women are trying to get into those fields and can't, but incentives and quotas completely lose sight of the fact that equal opportunity =/= equal outcome. (The same could be said for a lot of forms of affirmative action. )
