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 worked as a substitute teacher in elementary ed when I was in grad school.

    In that field, it often felt like I would get work purely because of my gender.
