> I am not sure why men want to join this field.

Because having a job is better than not having a job. You could say the same thing for being a dishwasher, say. Just because people typically don't want to make an entire career out of a job doesn't mean that discrimination isn't problematic.

I just did a quick check and on average cleaners in the US are paid less than warehouse workers (and for that matter dishwashers).

I also used to buy into the theory of male blue collar jobs disappearing until I saw all the well paid blue collar jobs that men won't take. (After all, I supported Yang.) I think even Yang now disbelieves his own theory and is looking at other reasons why men are dropping out of the work force.
