Realtor and accountant (the majority that are personal/small business accountants, not big 4/corporate) are both jobs you can do part time and out of your home and are very people focused.
It doesn't seem like a convincing argument to define accounting as a "people focused profession" now that it's a women-majority profession. If it was majority male, I think it would be used as an example of how "men like numbers".
I could argue that software engineering can be quite people focused, easily done from home, and in some cases part-time.
70% of chefs are men. Are men biologically predisposed to belong in the kitchen? I think a more likely explanation is that women couldn't get financing to open their own restaurants. It wasn't until 1974 that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed. And it wasn't until 1988 that the Women's Business Ownership Act allowed women to get a business loan without a male co-signer.
What is a more likely explanation for the fact that 70% percent of chefs are men: a) men are biologically disposed to working in a kitchen, or b) until pretty recently women couldn't get financing to open restaurants on their own, so they didn't become chefs.
