Men in Traditionnaly Female-Dominated Professions
Details
REGISTRATION HERE IS COMPULSARY
We're putting men in nursing, psychology, education support, executive assistance, and cabin crew on a panel. You know, the professions where they're the minority. Where they get the side-eye...

The assumptions. The stereotypes. The weird looks when you walk into a room.
But we don't talk about it.
Why? Because it doesn't fit our neat little boxes about how gender discrimination "should" work.

โ Do female-majority workplaces actually practice the inclusivity they preach?
โ When women are the gatekeepers, do they treat male colleagues any differently than men treat female colleagues in tech?
โ Is there a "boys' club" equivalent when women dominate? And if so, why don't we talk about it?
โAre the barriers men face in nursing/teaching/caregiving the same as women face in engineering/finance, or completely different?
The hypothesis:
โ Maybe, just maybe, power dynamics and workplace culture have less to do with gender and more to do with being in the majority.
โMaybe the problem isn't "men" or "women."
โMaybe it's what happens when ANY group dominates and stops questioning their own biases.
But we'll never know if we keep pretending only one narrative exists.
So the question is:

Why This Matters (Whether you like it or not):
๐ฃBecause intellectual honesty matters more than comfort.
๐ฃBecause if you genuinely believe in equity, you don't get to cherry-pick which workplace dynamics deserve examination.
๐ฃBecause the best way to understand systemic bias is to look at it from ALL angles, not just the ones that fit our preferred narrative.
Who should attend:
โ
Women in leadership who've experienced being the minority and are curious whether their majority-female teams recreate similar dynamics
โ
Men in any profession who wonder if the grass is actually greener in "women's work"
โ
DEI professionals brave enough to question whether their frameworks account for ALL workplace minorities
โ
Skeptics welcome. Bring your doubts. We'll address them.
