Pink collar positions are office jobs that have been dominated by women for the past 70 years or so–secretary, receptionist, administrative assistant, scheduler, etc.
In my life, I’ve only ever met a single man who worked as a receptionist in a medical office.
Recently in a thread about AI showing bias against job applications, someone mentioned male names being thrown in the discard pile for women’s positions.
If you’re a man who is in the field OR has tried to get into it, what’s your experiece been?
I was once adopted by the Secretary/Typist group where I was helping out because our Friday lunch hour was at the same time. They added an “a” to the end of my name to feminise it and proceeded to treat me as one of the girls. I learnt a lot about periods, make-up, men and fashion - amongst a host of other things. Happy memories.
