Alternative theory: "modern, postindustrial society" means dysfunctional economy.
> Men dominate just two of the 15 job categories projected to grow the most over the next decade: janitor and computer engineer. Women have everything else--nursing, home health assistance, child care, food preparation.
We're living in a country where almost all the projected growth professions produce no capital or exports.
This is really all about a shitty job market, heavy on consumption and health care, not some boys vs girls thread.

For example, commercialized child care and food service are a huge distortion of traditional household duties.
