Subject: All things being equal

There is the current debate regarding equality of income and in the workplace. It occurs to me that this might be addressed with a degree of professional segregation. For instance the question has been raised regarding whether a male is appropriate as a gynaecologist. There are some clear distinctions between the innate capacities of either sex even with the development of less gender bias in choice of occupation.

How many examples like the one provided are obvious and would this be enough to effectively divide the economy along this more natural line, given that the political system’s division is insufficient to effectively manage more than itself?

Your point is quite obscure but it is sufficient to say that there are many male gynecologists, many female gynecologists, and plenty of women who will only see male gynecologists, plenty of women who will only see female gynecologists, and plenty who have no strong preference. There is no sense in which gynecology is more “naturally” a female or male profession.

AFAIK and prepared to be corrected, but males and females doing the same job in any field are paid the same. Not counting of course self employed who can charge what they reckon the market will stand.

I think the matter has more to it than that and should be addressed on more than just an individual choice level. It is legal and political anathema to put a price on human life yet we allow commerce to direct decisions on what is better for the community. In this way lines of community standard are blurred and made obscure to youth required to make choices that are both appropriate to themselves and the community. I have only begun with an example that was prompted by available reference in the absence of a ready list of considered options. Just airing my thoughts I guess.

I can’t claim an up to date familiarity with contemporary practices so I can neither confirm nor deny.

I was incorrect it should be

t(6)=64.56;p=.073

creating no statistical significance of gender preference of gynecologists

I liked the original result. As if Bond wouldn’t include himself in a discussion involving Miss Galore.
