You're missing the point that in all those other threads someone asks this tired question, and then other people give multiple answers linking to all the programmes to get women into mining or construction or men into teaching or nursing - the question has been asked and answered, and the only reason it keeps being asked is because people keep asking the same question without bothering to do any searches at all for answers.

> notice how you immediately presume that men are choosing not to go into nursing because of a lack of interest

I haven't said that. Please don't put words in my mouth.

Since you've done this it's obvious you're not interested in a good faith discussion.

These threads follow a predictable pattern.

Every single time people say "What about women in contruction?" or "what about men in teaching?", and every single time they do it in the same "AHA!" way.

But, if they'd bothered to plug it into any fucking search engine they'd have seen that considerable effort is spent in these other trades to change the gender balance.

Search for yourself. Google "gender inequality u.s." and you won't see a single mention of a female dominated industry on the front page.
