chitoryu12
More than 50% of the chart is predominately male and includes some of the highest paying jobs on the list like STEM fields.
jonestown
Isn't the fact its weighted toward men due to the fact there are more men in the workforce?
chitoryu12
In 2011 women made up 47% of all members of the workforce, and this is AFTER decades of trying to keep them out.
Maballanes
You're actually contributing to feminism, by showing that men do cry
DavidBrooker
Mechanical engineer here: it's pretty bad. My department proudly boasts the highest female enrollment in the country: 24%.

Yeah, I'm the only female engineer in my unit. I love my coworkers to death but sometimes I wish it was a little more even.

I in the 95.4% male ones and I wouldn't blame women (or men) for not wanting to do it

I like how you took a chart and added whiny bullshit to it
somerandomtwat
so talking about inequality = whiny bullshit?
FragileReality
I know, isn't it amazing how so many management and STEM fields are over 80% male?!
ChodesNShlongs
Selectively talking about inequality* Only fight for what benefits them right?
ItTastesLikePurple
talking about inequality = hastily scrawled annoying strawman argument?
somerandomtwat
but i've seen/heard people use this argument so its not a strawman
BeesechurgerProductions
People using an argument does not invalidate its existence as a strawman. Lack of any real concrete support makes it a strawman
somerandomtwat
what do you mean by real concrete support?
squishybaker
maybe is gender stereotypes weren't reinforced so much more women might want to be in heavy industry, and more men in administrative jobs.
GreenYawgmoth
As an administrative man, I don't know why more men wouldn't want the job. It's pretty fuckin' sweet.
Ksjjjdnaja
So you're saying people are unable to use free will? If you want to work in a heavy industry then do it, fear of "patriarchy" is a copout.
squishybaker
also it didn't help that back in 80's and earlier women were only allowed to take home economics or typing classes
squishybaker
while lads done wood working and shop class.
delpharseven
Sounds great, except since it's a boys club they don't like hiring women. And the women who do get hired get treated badly. Which makes 1/
delpharseven
it known that it is a boys' club. So fewer women apply. And now you have a vicious circle. 2/2
squishybaker
patriarchy isn't much of a cop out as if a bloke is a nurse or does something fairly "feminine" they get called a sissy or accused of
LeonQuin87
I was a male caretaker in a nursing home and I never had any problem being one of the only guys in the complex.

I'm not even gay.

being gay, and if a woman does something "masculine" they get called butch or a dyke,

So. Fucking. What? Ppl are assholes sometimes, doesn't mean there's some male-centric conspiracy afoot.

Women aren't as strong as men. Indisputable. Men aren't as naturally nurturing as women. Indisputable
Iamblaine
This chart makes you look like a salty computer programmer who just found out a women has applied for a job in your office
memberwar
either that, or it explodes the myth of women being paid less than men, when factoring % of women IN the highest paying jobs. TMYK
TheAsterite
Due to some circumstances, women don't have as many opportunities to play with computers like men do and they need to be caught up. (1)
TheAsterite
Nothing wrong with that :) (2)

drnathaniel
Here's the thing: computer programming was a heavily female field in the early days... And paid little. /1
MungeMan
That sounds like some conspiracy theory shit.
drnathaniel
No. It's the world we live in. You think it sounds that way because you have a faith in a mythical fairness.
drnathaniel
Only when men started dominating did the pay go up. Teachers used to be mostly men, but when it became woman-dominated, pay went down. /2
drnathaniel
It's almost like we define what is important to us by who does it. /3
SkittishUnicorn
High paying job, no physical labor, flexible schedule. The real question is why more women aren't in the field.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
women want to work with people, men want to work with things. might be nurture, though.

There is actually an Imgurian who is a female boiler maker.

Boilermaker here. I've worked with a couple. We had 12 crews of about 18 guys each, three females in the bunch. One welder, two millwright.
MechAnon
To be perfectly honest, only one of them (the welder) was worth a shit on the job. The other two were useless assholes.

That sucks
thisisgettingannoyingalready
Live in USA, my maternity leave only guaranteed I wouldn't lose my job. NO pay at all. So try again.
itsthevoiceman
Which is absolute horseshit. But I can also see it as an unnecessary burden to you and the company. Both sides are hard to balance.
iamtheliquorrandybobandy
Also, and this may be weird, but not all women have babies. Ever.
SgtChowdown
lmfao do you think we're just kickin back playing video games after having a baby? you're why we need sex ed in schools.
Tomyris
What maternity leave? http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/09/26/u-s-lacks-mandated-paid-parental-leave/
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Ok but...FMLA gives 12 weeks of non-paid time off to recuperate. Men get it if they have surgery or a medical complication too.
thisisgettingannoyingalready
Everyone else fails to mention this. I had to work like a crazy person while pregnant so I could afford to stay home after giving birth.
thisisgettingannoyingalready
You know, to watch soap operas and eat ice cream for 12 weeks...rrright. Just kicking back.
bearbug
I'm a teacher and our maternity leave is unpaid. It's a nice option to be able to leave and still have a job but no money means more bills.
Komer
But you know, it could be that men are hired for certain jobs because they're more willing to do them or have a better skill set.
intenseintrovert
Conversely, why should standards be lowered to displace men who are already in positions just to let women in?
laonion
I disagree with the lowering standards of the job itself, but the getting to the job for these roles needs a lot of help.
laonion
But why are they more willing? And on the flip side why are many less willing to do other jobs like deal with kids? 1/3
nerdyvet
This is really where the "sexism" lies. It's not the outright pay. It's the societal norms that pressure job seeking and hiring.
TerryCrews
As a commercial construction superintendent, we're at 99% male. We don't even get applications from women. They're sure they won't get hired
nerdyvet
Out of curiousity, how true do you think that is?
CephalopodLodge
Cause women are evolutionarily set up to be more child loving
laonion
Sure, on the whole perhaps, but teaching isn't strictly child caring it's a lot of group manipulation which men have been doing for
CephalopodLodge
Yeah but men are just more likely to not want to be around kids
laonion
centuries. And to the point of only 2% men are in the field? Individuals vary more than that. There's more stigma/social
laonion
I don't all men are actually less equipped for the job of teaching non-adults. A lot of it is societal expectations that train & 2/3
laonion
equip men and women with different skill sets and self expectations. Those that veer of either side of the spectrum often it more 3/3
laonion
difficult to pursue their passions to the point that they give up. 1 1/3
tinyhighlife
All men are less equipped? You lost me at "all"
laonion
*dont think all Lost a word there.
Flanaganarightinthepussy
It's almost as though men are genetically predisposed to be better at heavy physical labor after thousands of years.
DJScrambles
lol women are pussies
FragileReality
Thats still ignoring a crazy spectrum of STEM fields and management positions that are above an 80% dominance. So...
Flanaganarightinthepussy
And yet that actually makes up a very small percentage of jobs dominated by men. But they make more money so... EQUALITY.
laonion
But why are physical laborious jobs often prioritized as more necessary to society than less laborious in these arguments?
Ksjjjdnaja
Lol one simple fact that's so easily overlooked these days.
infamousxiii
that's hate speech.
maniacalmacaroni
Millions of years, but yeah.
Thesaya
So, how come there aren't more men in the labor intensive job of nursing?
DavidBrooker
That applies to a lot of the manual jobs on the list, yeah. But two highlighted ones are both computer-related.
DrEhrfurchtgebietend
It is actually more about how men are more interested in objects and women are interested in people
AccioCatGIFs
I believe it should also be advertised more that it is okay to be the exception to the standard.
philTHEthrill
And women are genetically better at taking care of the young/other people
Nanaseren
But women want equality lol yet they wont do those jobs at all. Men wont work with Children because of being called a Pedo
iguessidontknowhowtospellimaganative
Fucking this.
RichardValentine
Why would you be doing that
tinyhighlife
Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough?
GregorSamsa
You're right! Women are just naturally weaker than men!
Flanaganarightinthepussy
Yes, physically they are and that has been proven time and again. It by no means makes women any less valuable in society.
GregorSamsa
On the contrary women are more valuable to/in society
Flanaganarightinthepussy
I agree. Society would literally not exist without women.
GregorSamsa
I mean...wouldn't exist without men either... but beyond or before that extreme they're still more valuable.
qaaaaa
I mean, naturally they are yeah. Men and women are better at different things.
observationalist
As a woman, I agree and don't take it personally. I have value in other ways.
Allaboardtheyoloswagon
It's like you think you're being sarcastic to make fun of something you find ridiculous but your sarcasm was actually correct.

That friendo was the point. : ] the sarcasm was at the people who will say men are suited to labor but women are powerful still

Oh well sorry for being a jackass :p
