No idea why you would make this comment as the GP's point still stands.
Nursery teachers are another good example. It doesn't matter that in one country the profession is 97% women and in another it's only 92%.
The point is that there are fields that naturally attract a specific gender and what (if anything) should be done about it.
- defrost 4y ago* 82% not 92% * " fields that naturally attract a specific gender " or, more accurately, fields that until recently only hired a specific gender regardless of who was attracted to the field. Mining in Australia originally didn't hire outside of specific racial groups either, save for extremely manual jobs of an expecially back bracking nature, this changed in the 1970s to a degree and we slowly see advancement into more technical roles.
