The thing is: Those jobs are paid better for a reason that isn't linked to the majority gender of people working them. There are other jobs that are stereotypical "men's jobs" that are paid shit but you can't make a pseudo-feminist point with that so hey, let's ignore that.
Yeah, I agree. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying her point wasn't retarded. Just that the reason she was using quotes was to suggest that these "man job" "women job" stereotypes shouldn't exist in an idealized world.
It's pretty retarded that nursing is a "women's job", it's really gross, depressing, and stressful job.
yeah especially since some things in nursing require manual strength - for example lifting old people from wheelchairs back to their beds and stuff. i know a guy who is a male nurse at psychiatric ward - and he's pretty buff, since he often has to fight off agressive patients
