Male talents

A bit of self criticism for today. I find its ironic when men associate certain jobs with the 'weaker' sex when it is them who are at the top of the category. Examples:

Culinary arts
Fashion designer
Interior designer
Botanist
Fine arts
Tailor
Hair stylist
Masseuse
Modeling (some men are more beautiful than women :D)

Aren't all these dominated by men?

But I must be fair and say that men also top other categories like serial killer.

Women are the same aren't they. They too want to define 'male' jobs and 'female' jobs. A breadwinner must be a male job even if its the woman who earns more than the man.

Gender-stereotyping at work is so last-generation. Women are getting into macho jobs like security guards despite saying that providing security is a man's job. And men have not moved out of restaurant kitchens despite saying that cooking is a woman's job.

Even underwear doesn't escape this state of affairs. A generation ago who would foresee bikinis for men and boxers for women. There's man-bags now which is a more feminine version of the 'uncle-bag', that rectangular palm-sized leather bag than old uncles love to use. I hear we'll be seeing man-bras next for people with man-boobs like Simon of American Idol. And women can now pee standing up just like their male counterparts, thanks to some new inventions.

But I bet some forms of gender seterotyping will never go away.

Sometimes we expect to see this:
