MemberMember🙂
MemberHang out with smarter people. Or at the very least, try to find some who aren’t sexist.
MemberMemberWhen someone says med school, I assume medical school, not nursing! But I see the same thing all the time. Fiance is a vet student, whenever people find out he is in vet school, they ask if it is a 2 year program / trade school. Sigh.
MemberI would assume you were in medical school to be a doctor, but people can be morons. It totally goes both ways, too. One of my closest guy friends is a nurse and he still gets the whole “But, you’re a guy?” thing.

MemberI guess I’m just not really clear on why you are letting the opinions of people who are obviously ignorant/sexist bother you.
MemberToo many responses to reply to individually but I am glad I’m not the only one who gets annoyed. And I totally agree with people who say it goes both ways, especially our society’s fears of letting men around children – preschool teachers, nanies, etc..
I wish somebody would turn to my Fiance and go, so will you be a househusband or Stay-At-Home Dad.
And for the people who ask why it bothers me, usually its in situations where I am stuck… cruise dinners, wedding dinners, etc.. where I can’t just get up and go and they continue to go on with their insane ramblings. And it happens so often that there must some underlying reason for it even though there as many women in college and graduate school.
MemberI’m a physician assistant, 26 years old and I look about 18. I get called nurse, tech, PA student, med student, resident etc etc… never PA. Oh well.
