I was thinking more along the lines of how men can ' t do that because women are naturally more predisposed to that job , but gossiping ? Sure . I do freelance translation , and I ' m training to become an interpreter . In Korea , the notion that women have better language skills than men do , so men are worse than women in language related jobs still remain strong , and even in my class of 50 , less than ten are men . The flip side applies female participation in STEM is low here , and setting aside gender discrimination issues , there is the notion that women suck with numbers . Mind you , I do not think women suck with numbers I think each person regardless of gender has a certain natural aptitude for some field or skill , and that social constructs should not hinder that .
