How do you know this? Because you can, in your mind, divide the function of a nurse from the statistical reality of nursing?

Are the logical divisions you make in your mind really indicative of anything other than your arbitrary personal preferences?

No, because there's at least one male nurse.

Please don't waste time with this kind of obtuse response. This fact says nothing about why nursing is a female-dominated career. You claim to know that this is just an accidental fact of history or society -- how do you know that?

I meant "accidental" in the Aristotelian sense: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/essential-accidental/
