Interestingly, for my older sister, the answer is yes. For my younger sister, it is no.
I agree with the point, though. It's more socially acceptable for a women to choose a lower paying job that she prefers.

Skilled labor does not outdo the decades of gender conformity expected from these jobs.
This on it's own may be a correct statement however as you phrase it makes it sound like this this is the defining reason.
It's not, there are anecdotes of (insecure) men not wanting this dynamic, but a majority of cases the opposite is true. Women seek men of higher value (earning potential), not less. Men seek youth/beauty.
>women don't want to be in relationships with men who earn less, not because men don't want to be in relationships with women who earn more.
It is sometimes presented under the myth of "men threatened by women who have a big career", but I have never seen researches supporting that. Men don't care if women earn a lot, note that they don't prefer it, they literally don't care. It is not a criteria when choosing a partner. Women do care a lot though about finding a partner who earns more than they do.
Very easy to be an aspiring author/painter/singer/etc when you have a partner to pick up the bills with a "real job".
