What if they are biologically different in certain areas, and they do not WANT to be in that area? Do we continue to force them into roles that they don't want

What if they are biologically different in certain areas, and they do not WANT to be in that area? Do we continue to force them into roles that they don't want to meet a quota?
I am not saying that is the case in EVERY male dominated field, but it could be in some. For the reverse, I have no desire to be a nurse or a nanny or a elementary teacher. I know there are programs to get more males in the first and third of these, but not sure it can be that successful. Because I have 0 desire to do either. Perhaps many other males share my feelings. That could easily explain the imbalance, not discrimination.
I think the end game to equality is to not have a quote for every single thing. Oh the population if 49% female but this job only has 12% females, it needs adjusted. The end game of equality is to be race/sex/religion blind in all hiring decisions. Literally hire the best person for each job.
- just4themoney 9y agoNobody is saying anything about quotas or forcing anyone to do things they don't want to do.
- brianwawok 9y agoFrom above > I'd love to live in a world where women were just equally represented at these things as a matter of course What is that isn't the natural state? What if 50% of the people that want to do X aren't of gender Z? How do we decide if we should do more to encourage X to do Z, or realize that Z doesn't WANT to do X, and focus on other issues?
