Swedish study suggests hiring discrimination is primarily a problem for men in female-dominated occupations

Granberg and his colleagues found that women had higher positive employer response rates than men on average, an effect that was primarily driven by female-dominated occupations. There was no evidence of discrimination against women in male-dominated professions or in mixed-gender professions, but the researchers did find evidence of discrimination against men in female-dominated professions.

And yet, we're told we live in a patriarchy. Sounds like gaslighting to me.

Not like they gonna do anything about it. It is an interesting issue worth addressing only when it negatively affects women.

This is everywhere. What’s wild is how much women hate working for female bosses as well lol

I work in a field that has a slight female majority. Do we get programs to encourage and incentivize more men to join the field? No, we get blog posts on major platforms within the field gloating about how women do the job better.
