Non-traditional Jobs For Men

There’s a lot of things going on in the world, where society is actively breaking down barriers between genders. We’ve come to realize that more and more people don’t fit into the binary system of male and female, but there are a few areas of life where we haven’t even achieved true equality between men and women. The biggest one would be the work field.

I’m not even talking about wage gaps here, this is about jobs that are still associated with a certain gender. And since we’re all about breaking barriers, let’s take a look at some of the jobs you could do as a man that are typically associated with women.

Nurse

Admit it, you at least know someone who would say “doctor” when confronted with a male nurse. It’s a caring job, which makes it more traditionally associated with women, but there’s no harm in men trying to help their fellow citizens. Especially not now, in COVID times.

Teacher

Teachers are usually female for some reason. I guess it’s because men are less inclined to want to work with kids, which is why they often go work in a business so they can deal with adult children. But education is important for our society, so there’s no reason why a man couldn’t add something unique to that.

Hairdresser

This has somewhat changed with the rise of barbershops, but it wasn’t too long ago when it was pretty much speculated that every male hairdresser was secretly queer. Not only have barbershops made hairdressing more traditional for men, they also made men care about their haircut. Oh, how the times have changed.
