That's about right. If they're raised to be better at art and music, they should not be in technical fields. However, exceptions exist, and those women should, if they desire, be doctors.

Some women are not raised to be nuturing and caring, but most are, and provided they meet all possible criteria (like not being a druggie or workaholic who's never home), that should get them preference for custody of younger children. Until this societal issue is addressed, we need to think of the needs of the child before making social or political statements.
