There is a claimed "Norwegian Gender Paradox", where in countries where there is freer choice of career and equal-opportunity for women, then jobs are increasingly split along traditional gender lines.

As an anecdotal data point, in Greece (where there is some, but not much gender pressure), lawyers are around 80% female. I'm not sure which way this skews in the US, or what it means, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

Education is also free regardless of socioeconomic status, and rich and poor students attend the same universities.
