> Many women are doubly attracted to jobs where there is schedule flexibility.
Female dominated jobs have less flexibility on average then male dominated jobs. It is mostly that primary caregivers after they have children need more flexibility, but original choice of occupation does not reflect this later need.
> Teaching is a sweet gig if you intend to have children or want to travel.
No it is not. It does not allow remote work nor flexible hours. You have to be there at time for teaching students who came. I am programmer and have waaay more flexibility then teachers.
> Nursing is a similar deal. My sister in law is a nurse practitioner. She has unlimited job options to bounce around and can ask for and get whatever schedule meets her needs.
That would be unusal, nurses I know have to be on the job on time and at schedule.
