  Excellent example, and I sincerely appreciate you engaging in good faith discussion!

  I agree that being masculine should by default not be a barrier - social or otherwise - from working with children.

  How do we begin to change that as a society?

  Although I can’t think of the solution myself, I also don’t see how advancing equality for feminine individuals would hold back equality for masculine individuals.

  As mentioned in another comment, a lot of these problems seem to stem from the enforcement of dated gender norms.

  I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.

  Certainly agree with you there and I really appreciate your nuanced take.

  I think many miss the greater overarching message that forcing gender roles only serves to hold us back as a human race.

  positions like nurses or teachers are very female dominated.

  I’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s and the US Army did not allow female physicians until 1940.

  It’s not unlikely to think we have many people today who were alive before women practicing as physicians was common place.

  I’m convinced it’s less of a matter of a group “dominating” a space but rather being pigeonholed/forced into it due to a lack of options, and these circumstances have impact that are still felt to this day.

  I’m not sure about Italy but in a lot of the US becoming a school teacher requires a college degree and has wages that do not keep up with the cost of living.

  You can look up articles of teachers losing their jobs for doing sex work or provocative modeling to earn extra income because their job does not pay enough.

  Doesn’t seem like that big of a win? Unless I’m missing something?

  I only see women being pushed into places with traditionally male majority, but not men being pushed into places with traditional female majority

  Genuinely curious, got any examples of “traditional female majority places” that masculine individuals cannot enter/participate in?

  I would think and hope that, but evidence tends to point to the contrary.

  A quick search brings up multiple articles including:

  arstechnica.com/…/nsa-finally-admits-to-spying-on…

  Guess those EULAS we all agreed to but never read had some sneaky language about what they can do with the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to guess, obtaining the data by force may require a court order or legal process.

  Buying data that someone else is willingly selling bypasses those steps.

  I would imagine it’s a multi-part solution:

  You either are jumped in and prove yourself to be tough enough to roll with them, or you can’t tough it out but they’ve already beat you to a pulp once so ideally they’ve made their point and intimidated you out of speaking against them/talking to cops or trying out for rivals.

  Full disclosure: I don’t have experience in this and am mostly speculating.
