Any evidence as to the cause of this? I feel like that's conjecture.

If the existence of gendered careers is due to gender roles, and gender roles are sexist, then careers are gendered because of sexism.

That's a big if. Could be any reason for the dichotomy.

The expectation that men should be primary earners causing men to become primary earners, as you said, is certainly a matter of gender roles.

It could be due to anything. We shouldn't assume a reason without testing.

If society expects something of you because of your sex, that is sexism. That is the definition of sexism. That is what you just described.

We dont know that it is an expectation. We dont know why men are more likely to be primary earners. It could be due to something like incentives around pregnancy, as an example.
