There's no actual evidence to suggest preference for career type is inherent to being a woman or man. There's plenty showing that women right now have different interests of men, but the cause can easily be societal conditioning - i.e., something that can be fixed.

That probably does play a part but it's a different level than what we're talking about. Its more narrowly about whether people's current interests are being allowed.

I want to consider your, er, argument, in best possible faith, but you've given me almost nothing to work with here.

Sweden tried what?

Failure means what?
