Wow, all these posts.

Seriously women take on some incredibly risky jobs, jeesh, just look at nurses who work in hospitals on their feet for 12-14 hour shifts handling bodily fluids and dealing with very sick people. Their job is incredibly physical and very difficult.

"About 6 percent of nurses in the United States are men. However, men are represented in much higher numbers in nursing specialties that also pay higher salaries. For example, 49 percent of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the U.S. are men. In 2005, the average salary for CRNAs was $160,000, significantly higher than the average floor nurses, who are mostly women. Of course, a master’s degree is required for a nursing specialization such as CRNA, which also increases the take-home salary.

Men seem to go for higher education in nursing than women do, increasing their take-home earnings. There are more men in RN programs than in LPN programs, and more men in BSN programs than in RN diploma or ADN programs.

Military nursing is also a popular option for men. More than 30 percent of nurses in the Army, Air Force and Navy are men. Military nurses not only earn competitive salaries, but also benefit from financial incentives, such as help repaying student loans, special payments, housing allowances and affordable insurance options.

There’s no doubt that a large number of women are the sole or main supporters of their families. But men are still most often considered to be the major breadwinners and are thought to put this first, while women — although working full-time — may be primarily responsible for family and quality-of-life issues. This may result in more men working extra shifts or overtime. They may have the availability to do the extra work because their partners are the ones caring for the children after school or tending to other issues that arise on the home front."

In addition you have women electricians, women who work on telephone polls, women who are firefighters, police officers. Women take just as risky and labor intensive jobs that men do. So it is really silly to say that men work longer, harder, and take riskier jobs because that is a flat out lie.

Tell that to the dailybeast.
