[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female privilege of course.

Notice there is no push to address the gender gap in areas where women dominate (teaching, nursing); and no push to address the gender gap in areas where men dominate but the job is seen as "dirty" (construction work, electrician) even though those jobs are high-paying.

There is only a push to address the gender gap in areas where women are behind, and they are seen as "nice" jobs -- STEM fields.[/quote]

No push?

It's been understood to be a lack and work has gone into trying to actively remedy it for quite a while.

23% of public school teachers were male in 2015-2016. (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_clr.asp)

Women make up 9.1% of the construction workforce. (https://www.nawic.org/nawic/Statistics.asp)

Seems men are doing significantly better in traditionally female occupations than women are in traditionally male ones. Why should we be focusing on men, again?[/quote]
