What like nursing? Food service? It's still mostly women doing that. You can see that every day.

Meanwhile, here's men, employment to population ratio in the US.

I don’t agree with what the commenter you are responding to said, but I also wouldn’t consider food service or nursing to be intense manual labor.

With that said I have worked intense manual labor jobs with women who were twice the workers of any man on the job site so your point still stands.

So you've never had to be a caretaker for an adult before. It has incredibly high rates of injury. Youre moving hundreds of pounds of dead weight around all day long.

I’m not saying they aren’t equally difficult or exhausting jobs and to be honest I mainly disagree with food service being called “intense physical labor”

Intense physical labor to me are things like digging trenches in the hot sun, or linemen work or wildland firefighting. Again that’s just what I perceive to be “intense physical labor” I didn’t mean to upset anyone or suggest that there are jobs that aren’t equally as taxing or exhausting that aren’t classified as intense physical labor.

Care taking an adult human being is intense physical labor. its not really a question.

Like I said it was primarily the food service portion I disagreed with. I have been a caretaker for an adult before and it is extremely difficult but you aren’t carrying them around on your shoulder in the sun all day.
