As a confirmation of the extreme level of discrimination that males face in the field of nursing, the statistics below will be of great help. Percentage of male and female nurses in the United States in various years In the year 1930, males made only two percent of the total number of nurses in the United States of America. Their female counterparts constituted a whooping ninety eight percent. In the year 2000, after seven decades, the percentage of male nurses in the United States of America had risen to a mere seven percent.
Women still had their big share of ninety three percent. The above results are case specific as they were carried out in the United States. But the reality of the matter is that the same can said of discrimination of males in the field of nursing in other developed countries like Britain, Germany, Russia and France as well as developing nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is also not uncommon to find that in most schools that offer nursing as a profession, males who form part of the faculty membership are of a negligible percentage.
The lion’s share is always held by the females (Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, 2004) Sample statistics of female detectives compared to male detectives The conformational statistics of the discrimination of female sin detective work is also given below. Males have numerically controlled the field for a long time and they till do today. This is a sample of the percentage of male and female detectives in the United States of America. In the year 1970, females made only two percent of the total number of detectives in the United States of America.
Their male counterparts carried the remaining space of a whole ninety eight percent. With the legal requirement that gender and race be disregarded as considerations for hiring to the forces, the percentage of female detectives in the whole of the United States police force rose to only nine percent. Again their male counterparts covered the other remaining part of ninety one percent (Price, 1996). The above figures, albeit collected in the United States, are a true picture of how the work of detectives is distributed across the genders in the various countries of the world.
The figures may be different in places like Britain and France but still the overall picture is that women play an extremely minor role in detective work due to their numerical weakness. Countries in the developing world bracket are not any different with the traditional African lore of male superiority still guiding much of the African administrative life. This means that the gathering of intelligence as done by detectives has to be done by men and strictly not women. Thus their numbers in this part of the world are even smaller.
