In r/science : why the difference in concern regarding gender imbalances regarding STEM and Healthcare Early Education and Domestic professions (HEED)

If feminists were egalitarian, they'd be up in arms trying to work towards more women ditch-diggers as well as more women in the executive suite. They also would be pushing women in timber and construction industries. What they are pushing is only the low risk / high pay sectors. The direction is to let men take all the risk and have women take all the money.

They've pretty much eliminated the chance of guys in many teaching positions through wild excess in making innocent men vulnerable to charges of sexual transgressions. Now that evidence is no longer needed to convict, why would any sane guy work in grade schools? Until due process and sanity are restored, teaching is radioactive.

I think you got the link wrong. Go to post and select share, and then copy link.

I would love to see it after you have the link

Abstract: (this may not be complete, it's from one of the comments)

“Not all instances of gender inequality are equally concerning. An emphasis on women's underrepresentation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math roles (STEM) has not been matched by a similar concern about men's underrepresentation in Healthcare, Early Education, and Domestic roles (HEED). The current research investigates whether and why people perceive gender imbalances in male-dominated careers (STEM and leadership) as more problematic than gender imbalances in female-dominated, caregiving careers (HEED). Results from four studies (total N = 754) document a tendency to more strongly support the inclusion of women in male-dominated careers, compared to the inclusion of men in female-dominated careers. This asymmetry in support for social action towards change is predicted by beliefs about what the ideal gender representation should be and the perceived causes of gender imbalances in each career type. Notably, gender representation in careers (and not salary) is the key factor underlying discrepant support for change (Study 4).” APPENDED to include Study 1 details: **Study 1: ** “One hundred and seventy-three participants (79 male, 94 female)[...] After 26 participants were excluded from the analyses for failing at least one of the two attention checks, the final sample included 147 participants (65 male, 82 female)” “Participants completed measures as part of a larger pilot project on gender roles.”

Variables included:

Perceived gender distribution (perceptions of the gender distribution in 16 different careers)

Ideal gender distribution (same careers)

Support for social action (series of 20 items[...] ten focused on rectifying men's underrepresentation in female-dominated occupations[...] and ten focused on improving women's representation in male-dominated occupations)

Demographics

Attention checks

Analysis included:

Testing the asymmetry in dissatisfaction with the current gender distributions: “A paired samples t-test indicated a significant difference in the distribution dissatisfaction score for female vs. male-dominated careers”

Discrepancies in dissatisfaction predicting discrepancies in support for action: “Results[...] revealed that, even when controlling for covariates, participants' greater dissatisfaction with the current gender distribution in male- (vs. female-) dominated fields predicted their greater support for social action to promote gender balance in male-dominated than in female-dominated fields.
