2. Opportunity and outcomes are not the same thing

Men are expected to earn more money and the value others place on them depends on their earning potential which is certainly not true to the same extent for women. So if you want to look for cultural reasons why outcomes are different, that would be a good place to start.

Not as many men are nurses. That doesn't mean the media has an obligation to portray as many male nurses as female nurses, and if they don't it doesn't mean that's why men are less likely to become nurses.
