Re:Why is Russia so good at encouraging women into tech? by dragonwriter on Friday April 21, 2017 @09:38AM (#14165439)
Yes, and that's recognized as a huge problem in that field. Were we in a nursing-focussed discussion forum, there's probably be a lot of talk about it.

It is a direct result of patriarchal social attitudes combined with the fact that nursing is perceived as a subordinate role to medicine, and therefore beneath men.

So it's actually a manifestation of the same broad social problem as the disparity in tech, rather than the mirror image.
