Work Gender Pay gap article - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43470827 - 'Some of the biggest pay gaps are in aviation and financial services. Jet2.com, Thomson Airways, TUI airways and Easyjet all have median pay gaps between 45% and 50%, which many of them attribute to the prevalence of male pilots' - I dont get it, do they want more female pilot opportunities (which I believe exist and there is no discrimination there) or do they want cabin crew and less skilled jobs which female workers are employed as to be payed as much as the more skilled?

The question is why are there not more female pilots and women in higher paid roles, not that cabin crew shoild be paid more

because it's a very systemic way of working is flying a plane, which in evolutionary terms is a very male trait, it's the way brains have been wired over time. In the same way being a doctor is very caring and empathizing environment and that is a strong female trait evolutionarily speaking, hence more women in healthcare. But they ignore that aspect of things due to agendas...

so you think there are more female doctors than male?

Your claims are highly dubious, both with respect to the skills required to fly a plane and with respect to ascribing evolution as the cause of gender differences in certain skills.
 
he might be joking, but the 'alt-right' have got their fanboys now, and they take what they say as gospel, and why wouldn't they, with such compelling youtube titles as 'ben shapiro DESTROYS libtard who wants equal rights'

I studied psychology at university, and was taught, if it matters, by a female lecturer about evolutionary differences between males and females about 5 years ago before all this came to light. So to just say because someone has a general view they are automatically ‘alt-right’ is a bit cras.

I may not have been explicit enough in stating that this doesn’t mean every man becomes a pilot and every woman becomes a health care professional however there are reasons why lots of men do maths (at school in my a level maths class of 18, 2 were ladies) and engineering and women more biological and healthcare degrees. I mean looking at the industry I work in, to be a qualified psychologist, a very nurturing and empathetic job, you need to apply for a doctorate. In 2016 82% of the applications were made by females with 18% males. Now why is this? Again, this isn’t a Jordan Peterson bandwagon argument, more what I was actually taught. Evolutionarily speaking Women on the whole are more nurturing because hundreds and thousands of years ago they tended to stay at home and raise offspring, while men went out as hunter gatherers. Over time this means they have developed more natural empathetic and caring skills than men and thus will be more suited to working in that environment. Again that doesn’t mean that every woman is like that but it illustrates why certain professions are dominated by certain genders.

Another theory that is worth a read is baron-Cohen’s (Not Sacha!) theory on autism and empathising vs systemising quotients. This shows why more men are diagnosed with autism than women and also goes some way to explaining why certain career avenues that involve more systematic ways of thinking eg engineering, aviation, maths etc... are more male dominated.
 
so you think there are more female doctors than male?

There aren’t, I checked! My bad! It’s 55:45 But in healthcare in general there are far more women than men, 12% of nurses are men. In my profession as a psychologist there are about 10,000 women to 2,000 men.

Evolution explains so many behaviours and abilities. Looking cross culturally aswell as across genders.

I’m not telling you to accept it (evolution) as there are many still that don’t and I respect that, and if that’s the case then I can see my argument would not make sense.

Of course I believe in evolution. That has nothing to do with it. I'm just saying that these generalizations, such as the one you made, are not so clear cut. It is not clear exactly what skill set is required to fly a plane and how males/females overlap in these skills. And it is not clear if evolution versus socialization/education/cultural differences produced these (hugely overlapping) gender differences.
