In a group I go to, there’s an amab enby who talks a lot, give their uninformed opinion on everything with assurance, talks over or interrupts other people, readily raises their voice to make themselves heard, and uses their physical presence to intimidate people they disagree with. They have a deep voice and tall body with beard. I guess I would have called this “male socialized” before this post, but I don’t want to use dog whistles or anything.
Believe it or not but actually a fair number of people enjoy taking care of other people.
The issue is not the job in itself but how it is devalued by the current society, ensuring low status and poor working conditions.
Just go talk to some nurses, they’ll tell you the bad part of the job isn’t changing diapers but rather how management keeps shortening the time they have per patient or how their family wishes they’d been a doctor instead.
