Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!

[Doc]

All of those are quite possible. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a more recent study that broke down into job categories... I was curious to see whether Doc was right, and minimum wage earning jobs like waitressing had no Gender Gap (which is a commonly seen term when discussing this subject, and does not, to me, denot the bias that you suggest). I couldn't find any information to support his point of view. If you have any such study on-hand, it would be an interesting read.

Waitressing has a lower min wage around here. A buck fiddy or two bucks an hour I think. But the ability to make tips is what tilts the scales. Male waiters don't make as much... At least from my experience and observation. A good looking woman with a skirt a bit to short and a few buttons popped can clean house in a diner. Especially a cracker barrel or some greasy spoon pig trough that serves damnyankees.

Now, in other places, could be different. Like, I dunno, New York. You see a lot of snooty nose in the air male waiters there. In tuxes. Frankly, the women up there drive me batty. Talk entirely to fast and through their nose. "Cwup of cwawfwee? Cweam and swoogar?" In a nasaly whine.

I guess it would depend where you did the study. There is still the lingering homophobic undertones around here that only homosexuals are waiters. Which isn't true... But it doesn't stop some of the backwoods hicks from around here snickering and having fun of the poor sissy waiter on the job. Male nursing is still trying to catch on. A lot of men are interested, but an even larger number of men (and women) refuse to have anything to do with a male nurse in a hospital.

And come to think about it, that's a position where a woman can clean house. There is a real shortage of nurses around here. An RN or a CRN or whatever they are called... The pay I think starts at about 15 bucks an hour or so at the hospital. I think. Might be higher. At Greenville Memorial. There is a severe shortage of nurses, which is why men are trying to break in to field. Men do fine in the school, but encounter difficulties in the hospital. Hours are bloody terrible though. Typically 12 hour days, and the hospitals stiff you out of overtime by making you work split shifts where you clock in an out under two accounts. Or so I have heard.

What is it like in other places?
