If you change the words, you change the meaning.

Let's try and get to the bottom of why the swapped version is meaningfully different. What makes "men" and "women" fundamentally different in this context, so much so that they can't be exchanged without significantly altering the effect of the headline?

The author is basically implying that men are worse at that profession than females because of their natural behavior. Isn't it exactly the sort of arguments that got that google guy fired?

What what?

That's what you took away from the article?

Quoting the article:

> Female doctors may also simply be performing at least some parts of the job better than their male counterparts do

Imagine writing the vice versa about any other profession.

That's the point I'm trying to make. You instinctively feel that the exchanged version isn't the same. That the exchanged version isn't kosher. Now try and figure out why. You are already halfway there.

I am implying that suggesting these days that men are intrinsically better at one profession than women would get someone fired.

> Now try and figure out why. You are already halfway there.

You can keep your condescension for yourself.
