Socialised to aspire

“Because of the hormonal differences between males and females, it is inevitable

that males will be socialised to aspire to the roles that have the highest status in a

For example: it is inevitable that males, in general, will aspire to the roles that have the highest ... Your author doesn't add that qualification. You may think he should.

When you say, "is it possible?", my reply is that it would not be possible within the constraints
