Yes, "society" exists, as a sum of personal opinions, and cajoles and forces people into making choices. Do you know how often a couple of people aged around 30 is asked about "when do you make children" ? Do you know about the various pressures, which are indeed discriminatory, in high school, pushing boys towards "technical" jobs and girls towards "caring" jobs ? Do you think the thousands of images and tales one sees during childhood and adolescence, with their persuasive role models, have no influence on what kids may want to do, and perceive as a worthwhile or demeaning career ?
And yes, there are things pushing women and holding back men from arts and communication professions - that is, the pressure on men to be the ones with a stable job providing for the family, and the idea that it's not as bad for women to have precarious jobs.
