so what kind of jobs do you consider a woman's job
what kind of jobs do you consider a man's job
and how about which do you consider to be bi-gender jobs

hmmm, although you do rarely hear of men or women doing these jobs: (my friend had a male midwife!)
womens jobs:
midwife
nurse
nanny
kg teacher
mens:
construction worker (including things like bricklaying and so on)
lorry driver
any other job that is very very physical - sanitation workers, etc.
hmmm, can't think of any more.

Biological women are the only ones who can give birth. Biological men are the only ones who can provide sperm for conception.
Everything else is open for everyone.

Man job includes heavy labor - construction, electric, plumbing
Women - secretarial work though can be done by men too

Did you know that 100 years ago, secretarial work was done primarily by men?
Why can't women do heavy labor, assuming that they are able to do the work? If a woman can pick up and do whatever is needed, why shouldn't she be able to get the job?

When we redid our house, the most skilled carpenter we had was a woman. I don't see why a woman can't be a plumber or electrician too. Neither of them are such terribly physical jobs. A ditch-digger, now, maybe wouldn't be a woman's job.
My aunt was hospitalized a lot at the end of her life. Her favorite nurse was male.

I don't think anyone's saying "man's job" as in "only men should be allowed to do this job." It's just that, biologically, men are much much more likely to be able to do certain things like move heavy furniture or run 40 kilometers with a heavy backpack (for a military career, for example), so those are generally perceived as "men's jobs" -- but whatever women out there can lift a stove on their backs or run while carrying a 6'6" man on a stretcher are welcome to apply.

Except that men can be given hormones that enable them to lactate, so a man can be a wet nurse.

working in a male dominated field, I can tell you why it is so.
It unofficially demands extreme amounts of hours, and this isn't to make 6 figures, but just to get ahead at all.
Be frum, be pregnant, be the primary caregiver to take off when there are snow days, sick kids, etc., and well, forget getting good assignments or responsibilities and therefore, the promotions. The only way around this is if you are married to another engineer, or someone making better money than that (which I'm not), don't have tuition to pay (which I do), and therefore can afford to pay a nanny/housekeeper/chauffer to watch/clean/shlep your kids around and be their parent, and she would have to actually want someone else raising her kids (which I don't).
I know. I live it. I'm an engineer. That's why overall, even though other male dominated fields have gotten more 'equal', engineering hasn't.

Citation to authority, please? I've no time to research it, but I cannot fathom how any legislation to that effect would be constitutional.
There are male OB/Gyn's, you know. There are also men who require mammograms.

WADR, I think anyone who expects to be able to take off snow days and kid sick days on a regular basis, whether male or female, whether or not in a supposedly male dominated profession, is unlikely to get the good assignments or responsibilities, or get promotions. Work needs to get done, and its going to be given to those who are there to do it, whether male or female. Its a decision that you make.
Its also incredibly insulting to state that those who have a nanny to watch their kids is abrogating parenting responsibilty to the nanny, that the nanny is the parent, and that the parent no longer is the parent.
First off, does that apply to fathers? If there is, for example, a stay at home mom who shleps the kids, with a working or kollel father who is gone all day, is that father therefore not parenting the kids? Is he no longer a father?
What about mothers who send their kids to school? That's 5 days a week, 6 for a lot of you, 8 hours a day, more as they get older. If the kids are sleeping 10 hours a day (OK, that's only younger ones), that means that the school is watching the kids more than the parent. Obvious abdication of responsibility. If you send your kids to school, you're no longer a mother.
Or is it only working women who are accused of no longer being a mother if someone else helps with the kids.

Speaking of nurses, this summer I was hospitalized for 8 days for a bad postpartum infection. I was in a regular wing of the hospital, not the postpartum wing. I was dismayed that 3 shifts out of the 16 shifts that I was there, I had a male nurse. It was extremely uncomfortable for me. I couldnt ask him for help with the shower (I need to have my drain insertion area covered with tape and plastic) and once I had an extremely embarrassing diarrhea incident and was so helpless, I didnt feel comfortable calling a male nurse to help me change! Ugh, I dont know why they assign male nurses to female patients.
