> Just not on HN.

On the contrary, this is discussed frequently on HN: both the claim that there are no efforts to get men into nursing or primary teaching, and the fact that indeed there are. It gets brought up so often that it's almost a cliché, with people joking about writing bots for it and so on.

Yes, but only in the comments. That doesn't count. I'm saying it's never on the front page of HN because, duh, HN is a technology website. Why would HN care about nursing? Except as a strawman in the comments of course..

"in the comments" doesn't count??????!!!!!

I'd wager that most people who read Hacker News spend at least twice the amount of time reading the comments as they do reading the actual articles. The discussion is one of the primary reasons for the site to exist!

Often the comments section is way more informative than the actual article.
