The most dangerous jobs in America-- all "male-dominated" but predictably, feminists don't mind.

You'll find all these jobs are stereotypically "male-dominated", dirty, dangerous, and some pay relatively little for the risks involved, yet despite the "male-dominated" nature of them, you'll most probably *never* catch feminists insisting there needs to be an affirmative action program to get more women into these jobs.

It would be interesting to see feminists demand affirmative action for equal numbers working in the sewers.

An interesting, if unsurprising, little snippet at the link.

I can't say I find anything worthwhile in the commentary provided in the OP, though.

Is it really that hard for you to understand that feminism is about choices?

There are few fields that are not dominated by one sex or the other. While your numbers are accurate, that the fields your link shows men outnumber women by a vast number, the fact that women were barred from those fields for a long time is partly the cause. Look at nursing... 10% are male. Why wouldnt men want a job like nursing as opposed to a dangerous job like construction? I have a feeling it has more to do with the individual, education and job opportunities than people simply not wanting the danger.

If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.
