But they're not as ambitious about every type of career - engineering and CS will probably always be men's domain. This stat reminds me of others like "colleges are now 60-40 women" - misleading because how many of them are getting degrees in liberal arts, women's studies, etc?

Also important to point out that people in high positions in companies - the ones that actually make decisions that matter, rather than just carrying them out - are still by and large men.

Lastly, this research makes sense - women are largely the ones who must buy every new shiny bauble and trinket, and most "careers" aren't rewarding - they're dull and obvious.
