Pretty much. The definition of sexism also involves endless discussions about the almost last job category still ruled by the evil patriarchy - computer engineers - among the 15 projected to grow the most over the next decade [1]. For the record, the only other male dominated job category is janitors but I somehow doubt it faces similar outrage by the gender equality knight templars.

- Alex3917 13y agoFor what it's worth, that statistic isn't actually true. While computer engineers may be expected to be one of the fastest growing employment categories by percent, the number of computer engineers are relatively tiny. So in fact way more jobs are going to be added in careers that are projected to have only a couple percent growth. By absolute numbers, computer engineers aren't even in the top 30 careers for anticipated growth.

I'm really curious where you got this information because it doesn't agree with anything else I've read. Among other things, about 75% of US doctors are male[1].
