Men Don’t Want to Be Nurses. Their Wives Agree

Understandable and no complaints, down-votes taken with a smile and not personally.

I don't understand your point about "demeaning" though.

Are you saying calling people under nurses care "flesh" is demeaning? Or saying the word "Nurse" has mammary overtones (it does, and I assume some sort of common root) is demeaning?

I would have down-voted the comment for being dumb rather than demeaning (admittedly it is kind of a dumb comment).

Just struggling to understand demeaning here because I'm not the kind of persons who wants to demean so maybe I should know something I don't.

The flesh part. It makes it sound like humans are just a pile of flesh. (And please don't make this into a philosophical debate about whether that captures the human condition because this is clearly not the point.)

No, no debate. Thanks for the feedback and clarification.
