Because women's lives revolve around maximizing their value to husbands.

Yup, sounds completely reasonable.

Hey, how come so many more women become doctors now? High stress job, takes a long time, I don't think it's any more "attractive" then being a nurse.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that this line of thinking is sexist. I'm not trying to attack you I just think it needs to be said because I think it's actively harmful. It ignores any other reasons behind the gap, and it's a terrible line of thinking for anyone who manages women. "I don't know if I should give her this role, women aren't really suited for leadership".

So you conclude that I have a sexist line of thinking because I dispute that the reason for the pay gap is men's sexism?
