Pink collar positions are office jobs that have been dominated by women for the past 70 years or so–secretary, receptionist, administrative assistant, scheduler, etc.
In my life, I’ve only ever met a single man who worked as a receptionist in a medical office.
Recently in a thread about AI showing bias against job applications, someone mentioned male names being thrown in the discard pile for women’s positions.
If you’re a man who is in the field OR has tried to get into it, what’s your experiece been?
My ex used to tell me about the singular guy working in her intake department at a hospital. Before he showed up everyone was hyping him up because “he’s a numbers guy” which was probably a line he used in the interview.
He gets there, is slow to learn, does an uneven share of work, gets other people to hold his hand for basic tasks. She hates him. He is widely acclaimed, special boy. Office favorite. The move was a great success for him, apparently last I heard.
