I mentioned in a comment on my previous post debunking the gender pay gap myth that there were some other interesting studies I came across that were related but I couldn't quite fit them in with the main points I was trying to make (plus my post was already super long anyway). In any case, here they are:
This study talks about how the sex ratio influences whether women choose a career over a family or not. Basically, a woman's inability to "secure a mate", as they put it, tends to explain why they choose careers over family. I personally don't think that the sex ratio is so skewed that there would be a big difference, but in any case, I do believe that it is still large enough to affect the social climate, and that this is what has the biggest influence (right now, anyway). I also would like to point out a different reality from what the researchers say: they say if a woman can't find a man, then that's why she is choosing a career over family. But what if the types of women who choose careers over family are simply undesirable? Then again, women have it significantly easier in the dating/marriage world than men, meaning there's always gonna be someone out there for them. That could be indicative that their standards are just simply too high, or some sort of egoism whereby they believe men should just come to them, or that they focus on their careers over family because they think it will attract men, etc. I'm pointing all of this out so that the people reading this can understand how to critically think and how to be skeptical. Irregardless, wAllahi it demonstrates the Wisdom in Allah SWT Permitting polygyny.
This study shows how women tend to be less successful owning businesses, and while it blames initial investments as the (seeming) primary cause, it also talks about how women run/manage the companies differently from men because they "have different goals" which, when you really get down to it, is some sort of idealism that isn't exactly tenable in the real world where you gotta do what you can to make money. The end goal of businesses is to make money, and men intuitively understand that. For women, not necessarily so. In a world where the best businesses perform the best and are most profitable, it just shows that quite frankly, women aren't that good at being business-owners. I don't mean this in a sexist way either, I say it because it further demonstrates the Wisdom of Allah SWT whereby He Says men are the qawaam of women (qawaam meaning guardian; denotes a role of responsibility and authority over women, much to the dismay of feminist and liberal "muslims").
Also interesting to note is that women don't even want to run businesses as often as men do, which is representative of the fitra, and that men tend to work more in their businesses than women (which I've mentioned previously is one of the many reasons why the "gender wage gap" exists). There are more male-owned businesses than female-owned.
This study shows women having productivity deficits across all of the questionnaire subscales.
This study for JP Morgan Chase shows greater productivity loss from women than from men due to migraines.
This study shows women have much greater productivity loss from both missing work and showing up sick.
This study shows men are more likely to have productivity loss due to showing up to work while sick with the common cold, while for women it's due to missing work. Men really are more committed to work.
This study shows that when employers "discriminate against women" in the hiring process, it is solely due to performance-related issues (i.e. they believe men would do a better job) rather than discrimination against them on the sole basis of sex, and it's noted that women actually get hired more frequently if the employer knows that it's a woman applying for the job. Women also showed a stronger bias in favor of other women on the sole basis of them being women (or perhaps discrimination against men?), which quite frankly removes credence from feminist issues in general since it indicates that much of the perceived discrimination against women is really just society being fair & impartial with regards to merit, and women simply feeling like it isn't fair/impartial due to it not conforming to their own natural biases that they aren't even aware of.
This study from New Zealand shows how women don't actually pay taxes and are a net drain on the financial system/welfare state:

This study shows how women in general are responsible for increased government spending specifically via social welfare programs. They also state clearly that women vote for more liberal policies, higher/progressive taxation, and benefit more from government programs (particularly wealth transfer programs) while also stating that men pay more in taxes. Men are, quite literally, paying women to exist.
This study from Switzerland says similar: Women vote to increase government expenditure through social welfare programs while stating (albeit indirectly) that women are the primary beneficiaries of such programs.
This study pretty much cements the results across the whole of Europe that women vote for more government spending specifically via social welfare programs. They state:
Women prefer larger governments because they are more likely to benefit from the services provided and less likely to pay for them through progressive taxation.
Lol.
This study from Denmark showed similar findings where on average, each woman costs the state 1.6 million DKK (~240,000 USD) while each man generates 0.6 million DKK (~89,000 USD) for the state. The researcher who conducted the study stated (rough translation):
Even though Danish women have been in the labor market for several decades, they are still in an economic situation where they are dependent on support. The only difference is that it is no longer the husband and the family who are the breadwinners, but the welfare state. There is a need to rethink family-friendly welfare schemes such as maternity schemes, if the difference between men and women is to be reduced, and women are to contribute to a greater extent to ensuring fiscal sustainability. As the welfare state is set up now, Denmark is wasting both talent and educational investments.
Nina Smith, the researcher, is also a mother of four children. She further states (again, rough translation):
It is thought-provoking that women do much better in the education system, and yet we spend far more public tax dollars on educating women for considerably longer than men, and then we pay the women to stay at home and look after children. It is, after all, a misinvestment of rank. If you believe that it is best for women to look after the children, then the logical decision must also be that more women should be educated at housewifery schools and not at the expensive universities.
Once again, when looking at what is happening, we find that the science is confirming the fitra (i.e. the natural disposition) of men and women: We are different from one another. And we see this from the small individual decisions of whether you go to work when you're sick, to the large macro-level decisions of the economic policies we vote for (TL;DR: a capitalistic patriarchy is a natural consequence of a meritocracy). What originally developed from women saying they aren't lesser than men (which we all agree with), the feminist movement has perverted into saying that men and women are equal, and further equivocates that to imply that men and women are therefore the same and that any differences between the two are part of a social construct that society has arbitrarily created (which is obviously false; this is also what inadvertently created the trans movement which, funnily enough, radical feminists hate). From all of this, feminists say that women should strive to achieve the things that men achieve and do the things that men do. And in doing so, they paradoxically are saying that everything men do is better than everything women do. The entire foundation that feminism is based on collapses.
Like I said before, we are different from one another. But rather than try to do away with these differences, we should cherish them.
