Pigeonholing hurts both women and men.

It really is telling that when Googling “male nurse,” you are instantly prompted with all the question “what is really a male nurse called?” ( The top response, in addition, is “a male nursing assistant in the united kingdom is known as a nursing assistant.” This pertains to every country that is english-speaking as much as I understand.) It would appear that some careers are so gendered that it is become included in their de definition that is facto. Gender-marked task games such as for instance “midwife” and “mailman” actively encourage sex part that is being of definitions.
