What rate of burnout would be strong evidence for overencouragement?
Burnout might be related to factors other than not being able to do the work well enough. It could be a matter of hostile work environment.
From what I’ve read, women are apt to do more housework and childcare than their spouses, so there might be a matter of total work hours—or that one might be balanced out by men taking jobs with longer commutes.

I find it interesting that you site evidence that is exactly what traditionalist theories of gender would predict, and not even mention them as a possible explanation.

I’m less and less surprised to see interesting comments like this at 0 karma.
I took your “apt” at first to mean “more able to”!
