I hear ya Liz...I'm married to an RN!! I'm a radiographer and there are more male nurses appearing at our hospital all the time. Of course when we lived in Sydeny and worked at RPAH - lots of male nurses there but a different demographic!
Oh and Rider the traditionalist attituds expressed by some on this thread are okay really - everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Everyone has had a different upbringing and life experience that influences their own mindset. All good.
Stongmanmike I hear ya and agree too - these stats are probably related to the proportion of men in the more 'dangerous' professions. Another interesting statistic is that married men live longer than unmarried men, but unmarried women live longer than married women!! Not fair
Les D I dont think that you have dug yourself into a hole - you thoughts seem very reasonable in general terms to me!!
I also think that no matter what someone's thought or opinion on a topic there will always be someone who does not fit the defined mould. We were all made different for a reason.
Perhaps I AM a bit of a tomboy (or was when younger anyway)..my boss always tells my I'm such a boy because I wont play the silly bi#$%y games some of the other female staff members play!
