Why is there no push for more males in areas such as teaching and nursing where a vast majority of those employed are woman? (greater than 90% for woman I believe in nursing) I have yet to see these fields promoted to the lads but the drive for woman pilots regularly pops up in the media.
Funny how in industries where woman are more pronounced there is not even a solitary squeal.
We should be hiring the best pilots, teachers, nurses, etc regardless of their sex. Affirmative action is just nonsense if HR departments are knocking back quality candidates because there are quotas to fill.
Disclaimer - I have three wonderful daughters and so I am certainly a supporter of equal opportunities.
