There is no practical difference between:

"Women occupy jobs which pay less"

and

"Jobs which pay less are occupied by women"

Please clarify why you think these are different...as the consequences are entirely indistinct.

The difference is, that this has set the base. Women aren't actively seeking out jobs that pay less (why should they). They seek out jobs that women made since long times, and these jobs are paid less. A job like nurse is very important for us as society and it is not understandable why it is paid that badly. Historically this job was filled by nuns, for no pay at all.

Nurses do well. Even starting out they are making 50k. Nurse Practitioners make 6 figures easy.

Supply and demand governs the economy of the job market. The more specialized the skills, the fewer candidates tend to be in that pool.

Male nurses exist by the way...
