Sauce for the goose; sauce for the gander. If women want to invade male domains, then they cannot complain when men (dressed as women) invade theirs. I note the clamour about sex discrimination in traditionally male dominated work areas - such as engineering, business management, science, and an enthusiasm for affirmative action to increase female participation in these areas, but a tangible silence for more women working on bin lorries, scouring out the sewers or diving off North Sea oil rigs to inspect the supports. The men can keep their dirty, low paid and/or hazardous jobs, it’s just the high status, well paid jobs where nice ladies won’t get their nail varnish chipped that qualify for balance in the workplace. Pass the humbugs mother.

The feminization of healthcare will soon reach a tipping point (more female doctors than male doctors, and more female physician administrators). Enormous changes are already underway to reshape healthcare institutions around women caregivers' emotional needs. If you thought the rivalry between the largely male physician cohort and the largely female nursing cohort was fierce, wait until both nurses and doctors and administrators are mostly women. It's going to get intense.
