The wording changes in job descriptions strike me as treating a symptom rather than a cause.

Ideally, your job description should accurately state what the position's responsibilities are. If you're working in a high-pressure, high-stress environment with a lot of individual responsibilities, it would be absurd to represent it as a laid-back happy environment. Would a roofing company be able to attract women with a conciliatory job description?
