Actually to prove otherwise you just need to find traditionally "male" roles that are no longer male dominated roles. Like teachers, lawyers, or doctors. All had centuries of being male jobs.

Or find 'male' roles in some cultures that aren't in others like programming.

You assume that careers are immutable in terms of the work involved, and the returns for the employee, through the ages. I don't think that's true.

I picked 3 examples where it is true though. The exception being teaching in the US specifically pays awfully but it pays pretty well/has good benefits in other western countries.
