Interesting. Where do these cultural norms come from? I think it is true that to be truly great at something you have to dedicate your life to it, whether you are a man or a woman.

How do doctors and lawyers get by, without spending most of their waking hours learning?

Law and medicine are professions which require a certain number of continuing education hours per year. For example lawyers in California have to complete 25 hours every three years. Everyone knows that going in. Most do little more than the minimum.
