To whoever downvoted this, I'd be interested to see your sources showing that women do in fact have the same job preferences as men. Because every study I've seen shows that their career preferences differ. Or do you genuinely not understand that if women on average have a preferences for fields that pay less, they'll earn less on average?

I think the argument is the other way around: fields that women prefer pay less, ie. the field pays less because women prefer it.

I don’t share that argument, I just wanted to point it out.

Why do those careers pay less?
