re: The highest-IQ fields are dominated by men, the lowest by women.

Also, some fields you have to be very smart just to enter the field, like physics.

I think some fields, like accounting, you can be a hard-working overachiever and be very successful.

I'm not sure you can be an overachieving astrophysicist.

Could be.

But an accounting clerk might have an associates degree or high school coursework, or even be self taught. Those wouldn't show up in the numbers. Unless I read it wrong and it's the profession as opposed to the major, which is possible since I'm looking at it on a small screen.

Yet women will still complain about a wage gap despite choosing markedly lower paying jobs

Wage comparisons are made comparing the same job in the same industry. They aren't comparing clerks in clothing boutiques with interventional cardiologists.
