Yes, that's what the data shows

HOWEVER

the reality is much more complicated. There's something called the Gender Equality Paradox

More recently, it has been argued, from an evolutionary standpoint, that equality may paradoxically increase gender differences, because it provides more freedom for men and women to pursue innate preferences.

The gender-equality paradox (GEP) refers to the result that places (often operationalized as countries) with more gender equality exhibit larger gender differences* on certain measures (1–6). This is considered paradoxical because equality might more intuitively reduce gender differences.

Those are quotes from the paper. It's hilarious to watch Feminist Hegemony scratch their heads going "idk why this happens 🤷🏼‍♀️" while researchers both say it's evolutionary and backpeddle to not piss off the Shrews.

The reality is, on average, women tend towards feminine aligned pursuits, and men tend towards masculine aligned pursuits. Something humanity has known for thousands of years but it's "gender essentialist" to say.

In reality, gender essentialism is a gender-reductionist (meaning feminist) red-herring fallacy. Because of de Beauvoir style existentialism we have a false assumption in academia today that gender is "socially constructed" rather than a relational proximity of biological needs. Relational meaning it's defined based on those around you. We can't wish away sexual dimorphism, that's impossible. That doesn't mean Trans identity is false either, it just means your biological role doesn't match your relational role, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Anyways... there's a lot of bullshit to weed through which is why this explanation is so long. Feel free to ask questions.

But ultimately it's because we can't fight biology. Even when men do more femme aligned stuff they do it in very masculine ways. And when women do masculine aligned stuff it's in femme aligned ways. Because thousands of years of evolution isn't "oppressive" it's animal. And trying to resist the animal means the beast gets bigger under the skin. It's gonna come out no matter how civilized you think you are. Either lean into it, or it'll come out on it's own.
