“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “

oh

my

god

omg

oh my fucking god

The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Here’s one study. Here’s another. And another.

have you ever been around male nurses….mannnn

Men in female dominated fields are entitled as hell. Don’t get it twisted

teaching is a female-dominated field but most principals are male

librarianship is a female-dominated field but most directors are male

Cooking is female dominated but most chefs are males

a large percent of hair stylists are women,  but most major hair care brands are owned by men

Okay, but a lot of the time this only applies to white men. I work in a female dominated field and men of color are given no preferential treatment at my workplace. Whereas the second a white boy walks in he owns the damn place. Even if it’s his first day. I have seen black men get fired for doing something once that this one white man did all the time. Isn’t it fun when racism and sexism intersect? (Sarcasm)

I was gonna say. I know a man who was stationed for a time in South America and he was like, totally a minority with his white skin. So he knows, he knows what it’s like to be a minority!
