Is there a psychological explanation behind why men will prefer women who are nurses but look down on women who are doctors? I work in the emergency department and I’ve seen this on multiple occasions and it’s so odd to me
i think it’s because nurses are typically seen as caretakers - motherly roles - and doctors are seen as intelligent individuals that give the orders. and men love to be babied but need to feel smarter than women all the time

bc in their mind nurse = assistant, doctor = person in charge. they’re fine with women being in subservient roles bc they think that’s our natural place. being a doctor puts her in a position of authority and they hateeeeee that

Bc they feel like they can order the nurses around
