“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “
oh
my
god
omg
oh my fucking god
The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.
Example: A study conducted by a group in france found 97% of nurses in the US were female. Yet male nurses made 6k more on average for the same job at the same level with the same experience and education. I’d link the study, but I’m on mobile. I’ll do it later.
It’s called the Glass Escalator.
