Its a big mental stretch for a direct link between wearing pink baby clothes and therefore being less likely to become a CEO.

The actual differences between males and females are not insignificant, they have different hormones running through their brains and their brains are differently wired, females have more connections between hemispheres and males have more connections between the front and back of the brain. This affects how people think. Dont get me wrong, women are perfectly capable of any job I can think of, if that particular woman is good at the job and the subjects that lead to it and she wants to do both of the aforementioned things; but that does not mean that a skew in numbers of males and females in different jobs is a surprise, males and females are different and have different brains, this gives rise to the probability of a person being suited to a particular job in the way I mentioned above different for different sexes and different jobs.



In response to the last paragraph: Where do you think females get the short end of the stick, as you claim they do? You say societal pressures, but where should the line be drawn - should all tv characters be genderless to avoid giving children ideas about what they should be? Should clothing shops all be unisex since you mentiom baby clothes?
