Or just natural. I mean there's gender imbalance in most careers, as is also mentioned in that article; there's just less attention being paid to e.g. the gender difference in day cares (which is in part due to people's preferences in lines of work, but in that particular area a very clear case of gender discrimination and stereotyping)

At this point I can't tell what you're trying to pin me to, but just to be clear: no, I do not think there is an innate difference between men and women that is the cause of male mass incarceration. I believe there are profound cultural forces that create that result.
