I kinda dislike these kind of topics as I don't taker the 'typical' view that men and women are actually exactly the same and completely equal. I disagree. manual labour is better for men as (again typically) they have more strength than women. And personally I think women are better at jobs such as nursing as they tend to be more...empathetic and caring.

I would probably rather have a male firefighter come to my house to carry me down the stairs and save me from a fire, then have a nice friendly female nurse to get me back to health, than the other way around..

Maybe I am sexist deep down. Maybe I was just brought up with old fashioned views...I don't know. But I have always thought some jobs are simply better for one gender or the other :S

Sadly women had to give up those jobs after the wars because men returning wanted the jobs and the women's movement was put back decades.

Why do so few men go into the caring professions, nursing and school teaching? Schools could benefit a lot from strong male influences in school. And yet they don't...

I remember when we used to do PE in vest and underpants, and getting a boost over the climbing frame from the teacher.

This was old School style Peodoing, before for it got such a bad name.
