Is it not possible that women earn less than men because they aren’t going into post secondary fields that pay higher? How many women take engineering or programming? From what i’ve seen it’s a small portion.

Should men be offended that there aren’t enough male nurses? Why are women getting all the nursing jobs? Sexism for sure, right?

Women can do just as good a job or better than men. If there aren’t a lot of women in a certain proffession, chances are they chose not to - welding.
