    Challenges→Genuine substantive equality of opportunity has not been achieved in a society where rigid sex-stereotyped socialization instills ambition in boys and quashes it in girls, even if Formal Equality of Opportunity (FEO) is technically satisfied.

    But other cases are different and call in question this division of responsibility. Suppose that FEO obtains in a society but overwhelmingly boys develop the ambition to pursue challenging and lucrative careers and girls overwhelmingly do not. The explanation is that boys and girls alike are subjected to a rigid form of socialization which instills ambition in boys and quashes it in girls. In this case one might say that even though FEO is not violated when Sam and Ben become lawyers and doctors
