> If men become doctors and women become nurses, or if men become Software Engineers and women become Test Engineers, then there's still something wrong with the world.
Imagine that doctors and nurses were paid the same. Would you still think that?
Other than salary, neither being a doctor or a nurse is "better". One is more technical, the other involves more personal contact, but neither of those is better, just different.
The same is true for Software Engineers and Test Engineers. It's snobbery to say one is better.
We should be lobbying to get nurses paid more.
