I think work as a garbage man also has pretty low entry barrier, but it is still sexist, by HN's definition.
Same goes for plumbers, though here entry barrier is higher.

Of the jobs with the highest risk of personal danger, the vast majority are male dominated. Some privilege!

What makes you think that? There is very little ad hoc freelance work in the business and contracts to collect refuse are very tightly controlled. I imagine that winning those contacts as a newly started one man garbage collection company is almost unheard of. As such the barriers to entry as a plumber are much much lower.
