But if the medical and legal professions are ones in the midst of this process, where exactly is the money and status supposed to go?
High finance and software engineering. Probably engineering in general.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Luckily, engineering schools are still full of boys! Phew.

I think this was also a thing in Soviet Russia (in Soviet Russia, gender issues study you!). Women became MDs in large numbers and men stopped doing so. Both the status and pay for MDs declined dramatically. Of course, pay issues in the Soviet Union had a number of factors affecting them.

Hey now, Female representation at a national level in the U.S. only puts us at 78th place in the World, tied with Turkmenistan. That's better than North Korea at 83rd and if you listen to North Korea's press (and only their press) they are the greatest country in the world.
With a little improvement, we could surpass the United Arab Emirates.
