In many professional jobs, employees are expected to work long hours, often expected to take work home on nights and weekends, and sometimes expected to travel away from home. In what ways might these sorts of expectations contribute to gender inequality in many professional jobs?
a. Because women are more interested in having families than men, they often opt out of aiming for a professional career in order to have more time to devote to raising children. b. Men are generally more energetic and adventurous than women by nature, which tends to draw them to challenging careers, particularly ones that allow them to see more of the world and have broader experiences than nonprofessional careers can offer. c. Since even in dual-earner households gendered expectations assign women the majority of domestic work (child care and housework), it can be much more difficult for women to balance family life and a professional job. d. Inequalities in the sex ratio in the United States mean that there are more single adult men than women. The demands of professional careers are more likely to attract single adults, which are more likely to be men.
