What's missing from the cultural explanation is the free universal child care that everyone got and the quotas of equal genders in all professions. Something no one in the west understands (or will likely believe) was that to be a female primary school teacher required higher grades than to be a female physicist/mathematician/computer scientists. The reverse was true for men. My mother for example didn't have the grades to go into education but did have the grades to go into electrical engineering/computer science. My father on the other hand only needed a pulse to get into education but had no interest in dealing with other people's snot nosed brats.
