¡¡¡¡The question naturally arises: Why are there still approximately ninetyª²nine female secretaries for every one male? There is also a more serious issue. Most men don't want to be receptionists, nurses, secretaries or sewing workers. Put simply, these are not generally considered very masculine jobs.To choose such a line of work is to invite ridicule. (67)

¡¡¡¡"There was kidding in the beginning," recalls Ormont. "Kids coming from school ask what I am, and when I say A nurse,' they laugh at me. I just smile and say. You know, there are female doctors, too.'"

¡¡¡¡Still, there are encouraging signs. Years ago, male grade school teachers were as rare as male nurses. Today more than one elementary school teacher in six is male.

¡¡¡¡Can we anticipate a day when secretaries will be an even mix of men and women-or when the mention of a male nurse will no longer raise eyebrows? (68)

¡¡¡¡It's probably coming-but not very soon.
