I was thinking the same thing. To hell with political correctness. There are Male professions, and there are Female professions. Women shouldn’t be soldiers (even though I have a female relative who is in the Armed Forces right now, and we’re not even allowed to know where she’s deployed).
And women shouldn’t be police officers or firemen, either. That’s man’s work. I don’t care how big & bad a woman thinks she is, she still doesn’t have the bone structure, testosterone and desire to engage in conflict which is inherently MAN.
By the same token, men should not engage in women’s work. For example, I know several male nurses who work in hospitals. They are regarded with suspicion and sometimes outright hostility, especially by elderly patients and hospitalized children. Female nurses are greeted warmly and trusted. Male nurses are greeted with hostility and distrust.
People believe that women go into the nursing profession out of a sense of compassion, whereas men go into the nursing profession just to make some money. And there is a common myth in America that most male nurses are gay.
Just as there is a common myth in America that most female cops, soldiers and firefighters are lesbians.
We met a lot of male nurses in the ICU when our son was there for three weeks. They were very good at their jobs and needed for all the heavy lifting of unconscious patients. Several of them were former or current military personnel who drop into combat zones to pick up severely wounded combat troops. Not woman’s work.
