Occupational segregation is something that we will always have in our society. We definitely have come a long way in regards to squashing the problem; however, we still have a lot of accomplish to have a seamless occupational equality of men to women. With all of the laws that we have, why does this sort of thing occur? Well, there are many ways in my opinion to take this question? You could approach it that many women just do not have interest is a certain kind of job. This goes the same way for men. Think about it, how many men do you know that want to be a makeup artist or hair dresser for a profession? So I think some it has to do with that, however, getting the inkling that was not the approach to take for the class I am going to entertain another. I think from time to time you have women that feel intimidated by certain positions. When it comes down to it, men have stronger personalities, yet that should not stop any women from getting a certain job that they want. If it’s something you want then go after it right? When it comes down to it, we have the laws out there to try and prevent this sort of thing, but in the end if someone really wanted to segregate employment to a certain gender they usually kind find some sort of loophole for a short period of time.
Now when a female is able to break into a male dominated career there are many different things that occur. Usually the women are taken under the wing of some males as someone they want to help, harvest and nurture. However, there are still those good ol’ boys that want nothing to do with them as in a way it’s an insult for them to come and try to work their career. One career that you see both sides from in my opinion would be law enforcement. Usually, when you have police officers that are women the older officers have a hard time with it, while the younger officers it’s nothing different. A few classes ago I actually completed an interview with a four women police officers in regards to their career, they all wanted to become police officers for the fact of helping people, and being thrill seekers. When it came down to it, they said no matter the circumstance they could always depend on having backup wither it be a younger or older officer. However, in the station they from time to time could feel the animosity from older officers.
