I think its pretty common in the US. Look at law firms there are very few male paralegals and nursing as well. Same concept applies to secretarial / admin / HR

I think its pretty common in the US. Look at law firms there are very few male paralegals and nursing as well. Same concept applies to secretarial / admin / HR style roles. I have seen a hiring manager in real life skip over male applicants for an admin role.

- droopyEyelids 5y agoAny reddit thread where the subject of "men in nursing" arises quickly fills with tales of straightforward discrimination and gross sexual harassment.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoYeah but that's Reddit. You never know if you're getting 99% reality and 1% fantasy or 99% fantasy and 1% reality. The platform is intentionally built to fake the appearance of strong consensus where there is none so every appearance of consensus is suspect. I'm inclined to agree with the premise but "as evidenced by Reddit" is worth exactly zero in my mind.
