Furthermore, even assuming that women do in fact choose lower-paying jobs, to what extent is this tolerable? After all, whether the cause is societal pressure or neurobiology, either way women are influenced by something outside of their direct control.
If you're going to declare it "intolerable" when a person is influenced to do something by their neurobiology, then what in life is tolerable?
What would it mean to be free of the influence of our own neurobiology? It's not even a meaningful question -- our neurobiology creates all our desires from the will to power to the need to poop.
Besides, instead of asking why women choose low-paying careers, perhaps we should be asking why men choose high-paying careers. After all, high-paying careers largely tend to suck -- they're physically, mentally or emotionally draining and the hours are long. But young men want to earn a lot of money so they can... you guessed it, impress women.
