If you can't accept #1, it's not worth even discussing with you


Less than 20% of engineering grads are women. Engineering is one of THE BEST majors you can choose to earn a good salary and have good chances for career advancement (particularly if you aspire to the highest levels). On the flip side, 80% of teachers are women. It's a noble job, but not known for great pay. Same with Nurses, noble career, but not known for great pay...and certainly comes with a pay "ceiling". And 90% of nurses are women. But less than 1/3 of doctors are women.

Are you saying women are not intentionally selecting careers in teaching and nursing? Are they checking the wrong box by accident on their college application when they apply to the education school or nursing school? I don't follow when you say they don't intentionally select those careers? Clearly they do.

I have no idea what your "b" and "c" even mean.
