Women are more likely than men to adjust their work schedules in order to provide childcare[1] because we have entrenched gender expectations about who "should" shoulder what responsibilities in a heterosexual relationship.

Having a human growing inside you for 9 months creates a pretty special and undeniable bond.

No men have yet given birth (yet?).

And how does growing a human make someone more qualified to shuttle kids back and forth to after school activities?

I know your question is not serious, but there are actually a large number of genetic behavioral differences between men and women that make them more easily accustomed to child care.

It's no surprise that the childcare/teaching industries are almost entirely made up of women.

My question was genuine, if absurd. And I would ask the same of you: Which “genetic behavioral differences,” specifically, make someone more qualified to shuttle kids back and forth to after school activities?

There’s also some research that over-representation of women as K-12 teachers is responsible for the growing education gap where men are falling behind women. It isn’t just women who are held back by gender stereotypes.

I think your questions assume a lot of things:

- Women do most of the shuttling of kids? I've yet to see any evidence of this.

- There are differences between the genders, but 'genetic behavioral differences' is a very broad and deep assumption regarding nature vs nurture and opens a whole other spectrum of basic questions.

- Over representation of a gender in some particular field. Being equal does not mean we all have the same aptitudes and interests.

I wonder why no one addresses the lack of representation of males in some highly female dominated sectors. For example male nurses are a minor fraction of the number of female nurses.

It's interesting to see that women ranked "Family friendliness" lower than men in this year's survey however. 11.7% for men, 10.7% for women.

Perhaps an indication that men are (rightly!) starting to expect paid parental leave? That’s encouraging :)

Except people who have flexible schedules are generally paid more.

Working flexible hours when the company chooses the hours normally pays more but working flexible hours when you choose the hours normally pays less.

No, it means you're a consultant and charge premium.

How do you tie this correlation to the negative of that causation?
