But some of those that still do are and always have been dominated by women: nursing for instance.
- graemep 2y agoNursing requires a lot more physical strength than a lot of newer jobs - any office job, most shop work etc. Nurses need to move people tc. I would say that nursing is a good example of a female dominated job that ought to have more men in it, as greater strength is a huge advantage when, for example, moving/positioning someone.
