It is relatively high paying where I live (Hong Kong) and just like where I was born (France) or where you stand (US I guess), the 10 to 1 ratio stays.

Men of similar social upbringing to these women are stuck to being dockers, fishermen, movers or otherwise.

Not that I have any conclusion lol I have a 4 yo daughter I try to raise like a boy and her fav color is still pink, to my utter rage lol

What docker or fishermen are required to have a minimum of a 2 year degree and a difficult licensing test? A test that some states require you to re-take at regular intervals?

A better comparison would be programmers. Although there is no minimum degree, no licensing test, and the pay is quite a bit higher than nursing. Significantly the pay was much lower when it was a female dominated profession.
