Clearly we need to encourage men to go into nursing!
Yes, we do. When there aren't enough people doing a job we need to encourage anyone who wants to do that job to apply regardless of any stereotypes or biases people have. Male nurses, women dev managers, whatever. We also need to work hard to retain people who are leaving because they feel unwelcome - losing people just wastes talent. That's true for nurses as much as it is for tech.
In addition, tech is more prestigious than nursing. A tech job in many cases allows you to afford a home in a good school district in a fashionable part of the country, or maybe even to send a kid to private school. Nursing doesn't. So journalists write more about tech than about nursing. And millionaire socialites and star athletes and Hollywood actors are far more prestigious than techies, of course, so journalists write far more about them than about tech.
Heres a couple articles about them:

Whatever nonsense you are inventing in your head is just that: nonsense. When you calm down and are out of "ridiculous baseless ranting mode" I encourage you to ask why you would spout off such utter falsehoods without first taking 10-20s to find out if you are angry at your imagination or reality.
My comment was not made in ignorance, but in full awareness of the futility and stupidity of such an approach. It's less "ranting" and more "mocking stupidity," which I will continue to do so long as busybody mid-wits keep thinking they are brilliant for upholding attempts to plan society as if they have discovered some novel brilliant plan on a moral crusade to save us from making our own choices.
1. Include hints you might be joking or presenting a "tongue-in-cheek" argument.
2. When called out, don't go with the "no really om a supervillain and tricked you into helping me make a completely unrelated argument" trope. It's well known as a scramble response to an unexpected retort.
Most people I know rn who are nurses are desperately looking to switch careers.
We just don't usually make a big deal out of it because society values nursing much less economially (and, arguably, socially - save for a few clapping fits during early COVID).
Please just hit the hide button if all you want to do is deliver snark and even admit to not reading the article.
So, is it fine to apply group punishment based on sex? Shall we apply group punishments in other areas where there's correlation?
IIRC certain sexual orientation also have disproportionally rates of pedophilia. Shall we highlight that and then ban them from anything close to children?
