That an article contains a provocation is not a good reason to bring it in here and set the thread on fire. What to do instead: leave it there and wait for the activation to settle before posting. We're trying for curious conversation here, and repetition and flamewar go against that.
If you (or anyone) would like a fuller explanation of how and why this kind of generic tangent goes against the intended use of HN, there's a recent one here, with a bunch of links to others: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26894739.

Smae reason there aren't more efforts to make more men into cleaning or nursing. The point of inclusion efforts is to help people who want to do a job they are qualified for, but are prevented from doing by discrimination.

There are efforts to get more men into nursing. These are easy to find with a simple Google search.

The consequence of which is men doing all the dangerous and dirty jobs no one else wants, particularly working-class men who don’t have other options. Doesn’t that sound like discrimination?

As an example, nursing is not only about holding hands and "helping the doctors".
