If you actually read the article, it's not necessarily losing their jobs (emphasis mine). IMO it is irresponsible of the website to misrepresent the study so radically.

> The study, which focused on generative AI, determined that 9.6% of jobs held by females in high-income countries are poised for transformation, compared to 3.5% of those held by men. It added that most roles would likely be radically changed instead of eliminated

The microcomputer and internet significantly changed a lot of "women's work" in the twentieth century too, much of it for the better as people who started out simply neatly writing down what the decision makers said ended up using newfangled tools called spreadsheets to manage complex tasks and gaining the responsibility of responding to certain types of communication in real time.
... and I'm going to speculate that a relatively simple explanation for this difference is that men hold more manual labor jobs than women and those jobs are going to be transformed less by AI than office jobs.
They need their clicks. lol
