You can turn the page upside down, translate it into hebrew and back or chant it backwards around a camp fire, but that doesn't change the fact that the highlighted part clearly states there is no gender bias indicated. This is at odds with your summarisation "In short, gender bias can play a role in the determination..."

Last time I checked, expectations were not equivalent to law. There is no law saying that a man can't stay at home with his child, and no law saying his wife can't go to work while he does it.

I really don't think this deserves a response, because now I
know you're trying to wind me up.
When you read my post you seem to have added a section yourself that isn't there. Something like "all her life she's played with the toy trucks and aspired to become a leading figure in the construction trade. I'll crush that bitches hopes under my boot if she gets ideas above her station".
Would it help if I just edited my previous posts to fit your criticisms of things I didn't say?

No and no.
I sincerely hope you don't think you should shape your life around the tauntings of playground bullies.
They must have really got to you.
