That should be proof enough that men cannot keep secrets and so they are not employed as confidential secretaries. Having said that I do not believe what is often said that men listen in one year and give out from the other while women lend both their ears and give out what they have heard through their mouth.

@allknowing In our area people are of the opinion that it is the woman who can't keep secrets.

I have seen more men gossiping than women. If someone say a secret I would never tell to anyone, not even to my husband... well, he does the same.

@allknowing Sometimes I am upset when I ask and he replies "they told me that it's a secret".

I think the reason most secretaries are women is that most women work for lower wages and are less demanding as employees than most men. I hadn't thought much about whether there are gender differences in secret-keeping.

They may not be the reason as men do take up jobs that are not so remunerative.

Women do keep secrets better than men do. Men are good at gossip.

I should think secretarial roles have mostly been taken by women but I do like your theory.
