And motivation is a pretty powerful force, it is basically how our entire economy is structured.

"...it typically takes a lot less money to get women to say they are satisfied with their work than it does to get men to say it." "Women were more likely to tell PayScale that say they find their jobs “very meaningful” than men were, with 35 percent of women and 27 percent of men describing their jobs this way." So women have more freedom to find meaningful jobs. Men less so.
