N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

    BTW if the job is traditionally regarded as a woman’s job, it also pays like shit because traditional women’s jobs are ones that are socially necessary, but not economically productive. Is there discrimination against men in nursing or child daycare? Well, yes, i’ve seen some of that when i was working in nursery pre-transition, i’ve had friends see some of that when they worked in childcare pre-transition, although in both fields it has a tendency to invert once you’ve clawed your way up to a middle management position. But the conditions in these jobs, regardless of whether men or women do them, are a product of how systemic misogyny is used to devalue care labor and outsource it to a permanent underclass.
