Gender Bias in Character Creation

[MoroMurasaki]

The city I used to live in...

You did nothing to answer my question, you just went off on a tangent.

Early Childhood Education and Nursing are more than 90% female.

Trash collection, construction and oil riggers are very nearly 100% male.

Why would these extreme disparaties exist if there were not fundamental differences in the interests and aptitudes of men and women? There is no exclusive "boys club" holding back women from working on garbage trucks yet they still don't. There is similarly nothing keeping men from becoming pre-k teachers but they also don't in any great number.

Don't give me some silly anecdote about your hometown, answer the question. If all you have is some vague bogeyman keeping genders relatively separate in their work you have nothing.

Women often feel like they are supposed to pay second fiddle to men, when they absolutely don't have to.

The only way I have felt inferior to men my entire life has been physically and that's just a straight up fact. I will never be as physically strong as a comperably fit man and that's fine.

I still don't feel like I have ever had to "play second fiddle" - if anything it's quite the opposite and I tend to be given advantages in every avenue from people holding the door or carrying things to my car for me to actual affirmative action initiatives.
