Though I had a male gyno. I prefer a female they know more how "it feels" to be uncomfortable.

But many jobs can be for either sex.
I don't even want to know what the qualifications are for this job.

You are getting weirder and weirder. What's going on? Birthday blues?

I "tested" these the first year of HS. I don't have sisters. I came home from summer school and a friend was walking home with me. I got the mail. There was a thin box saying "for the lady of the house." I knew it was a sample of some kind, so I opened it. They were a pair of tampons in their applicator tubes. I pushed on them and saw the circular pad move up. I put one in the sink and it expanded. A light bulb went on. I told my friend: let's collect these from the apartments in the neighborhood. One of our friends was out of state on vacation, so we filled up his backyard pool with "food colored" tested versions.

See, Raena, I could have had that job at age 14.

LOL!


I actually prefer male gynecologists. All of the female gynos I've had have been like "oh suck it up, it's just a speculum" whereas the male gynos have been more delicate and afraid to hurt me.

I have flown a LOT. Too many times to even count. Plenty of male flight attendants, I wouldn't consider it to be even "atypical". Same with teachers. And nurses. And even librarians.

To Tri and Chessie, I SHOULD have said gender-atypical.

Thus far, the poll has one (1) "No way" as a response.

You're also forgetting the fact that what most people say and what they'll do are two very different things. Nursing is still seen by many as a female job, and I bet there are a TON of women who wouldn't date a male nurse for that reason. Male flight attendant is something that has been much more prevalent recently, but it is very recent. If I had to guess, there are tons of people who would still consider most of them gay.

Librarian, I don't think that was ever thought of as females, another one is a teacher that isn't teaching science. Literature has always been something that was thought highly upon, even many years ago. It was certainly men doing this.

As long as he acted like a man it would not bother me if he worked in any of those places.

Oh good grief! Male flight attendants have been around since the gender-neutral term: "flight attendant" was coined, and no one has ever thought they were gay. To the contrary, some women wouldn't date them because of the perception that it's too easy for them to cheat.

Just because you have a certain view doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you. There are easily many millions of people that think flight attendants should be only women and that the men in them are gay. Honestly, I don't even know how you could disagree with me here


Here are some numbers for you.

"Although flight attendants continue to be predominantly female, males have increased their presence between 1980 (19.3 males per 100 females) and 2007 (26.4 males per 100 females). "

How does your quote prove anything about whether flight attendants are viewed as gay or not? How is it relevant to anything I said?
