Pink collar positions are office jobs that have been dominated by women for the past 70 years or so--secretary, receptionist, administrative assistant, scheduler, etc.

In my life, I've only ever met a single man who worked as a receptionist in a medical office.

Recently in a thread about AI showing bias against job applications, someone mentioned male names being thrown in the discard pile for women's positions.

If you're a man who is in the field OR has tried to get into it, what's your experiece been?

Not me but I work alongside male nurses in hospital. I work in IT so traditional male role.

I think at this point a male nurses has now become enough of a common site that it no longer gets comment. But I would say the ratio is a still heavily leaning towards women.

They also seem to use AI an awful lot although God knows what for. They get very upset if it gets blocked know that.

    They use it for notation which is a huge very tedious and slow part of their job that takes away from their ability to actually do nursing. I don’t especially like it but the notation is a barrier to care and AI can allow nurses to their jobs significantly better.
