Which is the more sexist: Male Nurse, or, Police Woman ?
823530
As far as the simple semantics of the issue, I believe "male nurse" is a much more seixst term than "police woman." Because the term "nurse" does not necessarily imply either man or woman, therefore, there is no need to clarify the sex of the nurse. However, since "police man" is a common term used to identify a male police officer, then there is nothing sexist to me to use the term "police woman" to identify a female officer.

Well, to be honest, I've done both.  I was first a nurse at a local prison for men.  It was hell.  They would have prescribed meds and would throw it on the floor or spill it in my hand (it had to be in a little paper cup to be dispensed) and they would yell it was contaminated.  A fortune was spent replacing the meds, because that one had to be destroyed and another one administered.  (Especially if it was a medication for a serious disease or disorder such as high blood pressure!)  I was appalled that our tax dollars were being thrown away like that!  No wonder it costs so much to house inmates!  Well, anyway, years later, I was in on something really stupid and ended up spending a year in prison myself.  It was in the same state, but different as night and day!  The women were basically friendly, most like me, just did something stupid, but I did have to watch my back at all times!  I had to work every day at the local landfill driving a front end loader for a dollar a day....6 days a week, 9 hrs a day!  The work wasn't too hard, since I had already been a truckdriver, too, but good Lord, it stunk!!!!  To this day, you'd be hard pressed to get me to jaywalk, because I don't want to go back there.  I don't want to work there (if I could), either!  Prison sucks!

Um...I don't know if this is exactly the "procedure." Police are supposed to excercise tactful ways of dealing with prostitutes. He doesn't have to show her his penis or have sex with her to arrest her for prostitution. All they need to do is get her in the act of solicting for prostitution...which just means PLANNING to do something. I think perhaps if the officer actually engages in a sexual act with her, then he is in just as much trouble because HE has now hired a prostitute, which is also illegal.\n\nSo...he MAY arrest her, but I don't think he CAN under the law because he has also broken the law. This probably falls under entrapment, but I'm not sure.

For a really eye opening different perspective, read an issue of Men's health from about 6 months ago. they did an article called Blue Juice or something like that where they investigated the rampant steroid abuse of police officers. They even gave tips on how not to be a victim of police rage...it was really interesting.

I think subconsciously men like the nurturing nature of the nurse.  On the other hand, I think we men find the uniform, short skirt and all, quite very hot.... especially on a beautiful woman.

According to both state and federal bureaus of labor, the answer is men. However, that does not mean a woman can't do the job.  More men do certain jobs in America than women simply because it's a cultural thing: notice that we still use the term "policeman" and "fireman" and "postman" despite the fact that women have been doing these very jobs, and doing them very well, for years.  There's no more good reasons for women not to be personal trainers than there are for more men not to be nurses.  So if any woman you know is contemplating becoming a personal trainer - tell her to go for it!

Of course not! Men are not all paedophile perverts! What has society come to when someone asks a ridiculous question like this? Men are not inherently or more likely to be evil, just as women are not all naturally good, kind and inherantly trustworthy. Why shouldn't men want to be teachers? Why shouldn't men be nursery nurses if they want to be? Is it any wonder that the number of men suffering from depression is so high, with attitudes like that being the accepted norm nowadays??! Some men are actually caring, sensitive and nurturing, and don't just want to help people so they can get them into bed. Men and women are both good and bad, in basically equal measure, so stop demonizing men, and generalising on the basis of gender. That's called SEXISM, and is worse than the type of sexism women used to suffer, because men nowadays are treated as though they're the lowest of the low, all personally responsible for the ills of the world, past and present, and basically treated as though they're money-making, purchasing machines, not individual people.

Men have this sometimes hidden, sometimes obvious desire to be dominated by a strong woman.  Female police officers are just that.  Could also be the tight pants they wear ...and the handcuffs...and the shiny glasses.....

I used to be the "arresting officer" and 'dude" or "man" were the more polite things people called me.\n\nTrust me, what you call a police officer does not affect him one way or another. He's heard it before.\n\nDon't misunderstand, some cops will use it as an excuse to jerk some guy's chain, but only because he wants to jerk chains, not because he cares what some drunk thinks.

we cant say that all women are pompous. actually i dont like that women versus men tune. women and men are human beings. the misbehavior of a certain human doesnt stigmatize all the members of his/her sex.\nyour coworker could be aggressive, but there is always a way to deal with this kind of problems, and you have to figure that out.

No, he should not be fired. What he's saying is true, regardless of whether or not he was sexist. What the hell is a massage therapist doing in the dugout? Why not a pedicurist?

A ploice men pulls over a speeding woman in a red porsche.  He calls to dispatch with the liscense plate, dispatch calls back and asks if it's a blonde driver.  He says Yes.  The dispatcher tells him to walk up to her window and unzip his pants and see what happens.  The police officer does, when he gets up to the window the woman says, "What, not another breathalizer".  \n\nHope I didn't offend, Best wishes

I want the Doctor with the most knowledge. The sex of the Doctor does not make any difference at all.

AHAHA.  I am crackin up!!  This is the best  question ever.  I couldn't agree more.  And look at the dude above me who calls you a sexist bastard...a MAN calling you a sexist bastard.  He is obviously a guy who kisses women's asses and feet seeking their approval.  What a pus$y-whipped beeotch.

Not that I really want to admit this, but you may have to change jobs.  If you choice to work in a female dominated job position, that's one of the prices you have to pay.  I'm so sorry that it happens, but it does all the time when you work with almost all females.  It happens to all Male Nurses, just BC its always been a female job.  Sorry!!!  I would say the same thing, file a suit, but its hard to prove a female sexual harassed you, they would turn it back on you and have the others back them up, not all females!!!  But, theres that word, is all I can say, and sorry
