Gendered jobs

Post Reply New Topic

These days, a woman (or someone often interpreted as one) in a masculine job is often viewed positively - as someone strong and bold, able to step in on the "boys club" and hold her own, someone who is a trailblazer for women's liberation, forging the way for women to be equally accepted with men in jobs across the proverbial board.
Which is all very well - if it went both ways. Which it doesn't seem to.
Male nurses have often been cited as a group who are targeted by this kind of inequality. People automatically assume negative things - that they want to be doctors but aren't capable, that they're effeminate (and that's something a man should be ashamed of apparently) etc.
Men (or people often interpreted as such) in traditionally feminine jobs are viewed as strange, or outright criminal. Just think about men in children's services - people seem to automatically assume they want to rape children and that's the only reason they're interested.
I think it can enforce the inequality, and keep men out of traditionally feminine jobs that they might be interested in or great at, because pushing the proverbial envelope in this way is not "done" the way it is for women.
It just occurred to me because recently I felt uneasy in the job I am currently doing, because it's very gendered.
Anyone working - do you work a gendered job? In opposition or in accordance with your own gender? Anyone else in your workplace defy this? Would you be uncomfortable working a job traditionally dominated by the opposite sex, or would you not care or even enjoy it? Do you think there should be this gendering going on, or should the workforce be genderblind? Insights?

There isn't that much of a stigma attached to male nurses these days.

Yes. Male working in traditionally female dominated profession.
No problems at all encountered.

It really sucks that things seen as 'feminine' have such stigma. As an example the terrible thought "why would a guy want to do a 'feminine job', his reason must be sexual/monetary/stereotypically masculine". In my case I am a female programmer who knits publicly.

As a female programmer I get some respect from my colleagues, but if I do anything even slightly feminine (like knitting) that respect disappears faster than a photon. No active disrespect though, just being totally ignored.

Note this doesn't count older folks 60+, something about their life experiences make some older women and men very pro- gender norms.

All in all very exhausting workplace drama.

I used to work as the cashier for the service section of a car dealer. I was teased so much by co-workers for it being a "lady job". Before me it was only women who did the job. I never saw how it was feminine. Whatever some of you make as much as me and you have to get dirty. I will sit here clean and listening to the radio. Have a good day.

My first job was as a cashier at a Home Depot like store. I was only one of two males out of about 20+ on the payroll (and he was away frequently). I never once encountered a problem with that. I disliked being a cashier, but not because of my coworkers.
