āMean girls all grow up to be nurses!ā
āMean girls all go into social work!ā
āThe mean girl to teacher pipeline!ā
Yāall, these are just pink collar jobs. The reason you think thereās so many āmean girlsā in these fields is because theyāre all like 97% women. Of course some of them are gonna be assholes. Thereās assholes everywhere.
We get it. Your job isnāt like other girlsā jobs. Itās a cool job.
itās true that there are some incredibly cruel people in all of these professions.
itās also true that they all suffer from chronic underpayment, overwork, lack of institutional support, and insane bureaucratic demands that would make them fail the people in their care all the time even if every single one was a saint.
Thatās absolutely missing the point.
While those are all āhelperā professions and they very much are pink collar (and are underpaid, thatās not an incompatible idea), theyāre also ones that involve power over vulnerable peopleās lives. (And Iāve only encountered it as a comparison to, say, male bullies becoming cops, itās not like men arenāt being mentioned here.)
Secretaries/administrative assistants arenāt on that list for a reason. Flight attendants arenāt on that list. Housecleaners arenāt on that list. Receptionists. Customer service representatives. Dental hygienists. The people who style hair or do nails. Thatās not a list of pink collar jobs. Itās specifically (pink collar) positions where if you want to abuse people youāre relatively likely to get away with it.
It can both be true that ānurses who care for disabled people need better payā and ānurses who care for disabled people have a lot of opportunities to abuse their power and thatās something worth talking about.ā
Women arenāt immune from treating people badly because theyāre women, or because women are underpaid. Theyāre sure not immune from specifically seeking out jobs that will allow them to be cruel without any consequences to them, if they get personal satisfaction out of being cruel.
You are trying to shut down a conversation about abuse.
Shitty people are attracted to positions of power. That includes working class women!
There have been a lot of studies about hazing and abuse in nursing communities and even murder!
My mother is a nurse, her co-workers sit around laughing about the people who fall out of their wheel chairs, about the nurses who do cry when someone dies, my mother has ignored patients crying out in pain in order to drink her coffee.
My mother has intentionally let elderly patients at her nursing home die. She has abused them and she has laughed about it. She has left people suffering and has caused that suffering.
Nurses are underpaid and they are disrespected as medical professionals who arenāt a doctor. Thatās true and we should talk about that, but we can not ignore the fact that violent women seek out these jobs with God Complexes and the intent to do harm.
Sure, that harm might be because they are bitter, over-worked, and disrespected. None the less, it is no different than when a male doctor causes purposeful harm to his patient.
Nurses contribute to eugenics, to patient abuse, elder abuse, and yeah even child abuse (my mother was proficient in all of them!)
Here are some important articles to read:
Nurses Eat Their Young An article about hazing and bullying among nurses. The title comes from a common saying in medical circles, the first time I heard it, it was in reference to my motherās best friend who had poured coffee over the hands of a new nurse who had reported another nurse to a superior for abusing a patient.
Bullying in Nursing ā Why The Hazing is Getting Worse A brief article on forms of hazing.
Nurse hazing: a costly reality
Why do nurses abuse patients? Reflections from South African obstetric services
Patientsā lives being left at mercy of abusive nurses
Every single one of these articles, with exception of the last ā which is guardian article ā is a professionally published medical article.
And as always, my stance is going to be, āIf you canāt do your job without abusing people, quit your job.ā
POV you tell your tall model friend a silly joke.

so true
Nobody talks about the termites killed by anteaters...... it's right there in the name. ANT eaters. No one even cares that they eat more termites than ants. There's a stigma
STIGMA CLAWS IN YOUR NEST
the only thing you should care about is getting stronger arms and a stronger back nothing else matters
women matter.
sorry

girl i shrunk
sometimes im like ātone down the Self to fit inā and other times, the voice of God comes to me in a dream and says āI didnāt make you crazy for no reasonā
