I agree that those things should be and will be improved over time, but as long as the expectation is close to 50% there will be problems. I suspect that feeling unsafe in an industry is a direct side effect of the ratio of men to women and it will persist as long as personal choices are different. What no one will admit is that these differences in preference may be matters of nature as well as nurture. Even if they aren't, these things change very slowly. I don't expect to see men equally represented in nursing, social work, or primary education at any point in the future except through a quota system.
