I don’t want to sound sexist in this case, but shouldn’t some jobs have a non-50-50 skew, simply because of one sex being more fit for it? Like for example, the army might be more skewed towards men because of their larger body sizes, while the medical field might be more women because of their better inter-personal skills, and higher studiousness.

Are you ignoring qualities like grit, confidence, strength, courage, strategy, and leadership which are not “male qualities”? And interpersonal skills and communication: I’d argue these are not “female qualities”. Does your comment factor a possibility that external pressures around gender norms might create a cycle where women put more effort into these skills, thus demonstrating them more often?
