Even if you truly believe that do you really want parents and society and the patriarchy continuing to enforce this shit for more generations?

Even if you believe in innate biological differences (which most people do) I still don't want the principle steering my daughter into nursing and my son engineering because he's too fucking lazy to do anything, repeat ad infinitum for every little bit of inherited "wisdom" every had decided they need to pump back into the world constantly.

If you want to get into jobs, look at stats for which genders did which jobs 100 years ago and then look at the data for today. Basically the same list. Mostly men are still fixing power lines and mostly women are still working at schools. The differences in biology make for different strengths and weaknesses and there's literally nothing wrong with that

Also I hate to say this but the patriarchy is what allows feminism to exist so I think we are on a pretty good path right now

We do get to choose. And people still tend to stick to what they did before they couldn't, interestingly enough
