    And how are women pushed out of “man jobs”?

    And how are we fixing that?

    Is it bosses that aim to have male coworkers turning down women? How is that different than bosses wanting artificially 50/50 turning down men?

    Is it not being represented in advertising? How is that different than what happens now. Where most advertising displays just women? Or if there is both a man and a woman, the woman is usually centered in the picture or doing a more important/powerful role.

    By “encouraging” women in the workplace, what you see is things being done to men that you complain was done to women.
