"Yet, no one ever looks at the flip-side of this argument. Why do we never ask more men to consider becoming school teachers (86% are women) – and why is there no outcry for schools to train more men as nurses (89% are women)?"<p>Hear, hear! Similarly, where is the concern over the gender disparities in trades like roofing, plumbing, highway construction, etc.?
