Robots are coming for our jobs—but not all of our jobs. They’re coming, in ever increasing numbers, for a certain kind of work. For farm and factory labor. For construction. For haulage. In other words, blue-collar jobs traditionally done by men.

This is why automation is so much more than an economic problem. It is a cultural problem, an identity problem, and—critically—a gender problem. Millions of men around the world are staring into the lacquered teeth of obsolescence, terrified of losing not only their security but also their source of meaning and dignity in a world that tells them that if they’re not rich, they’d better be doing something quintessentially manly for money. Otherwise they’re about as much use as a wooden coach-and-four on the freeway.

While all of this is going on, though, there’s a counterphenomenon playing out. As society panics about bricklaying worker droids and self-driving 18-wheelers, jobs traditionally performed by women—in the so-called pink-collar industries, as well as unpaid labor—are still relatively safe, and some are even on the rise. These include childcare. And service. And nursing, which the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts will need a million-plus more workers in the next decade.


I for one welcome our sexy feminine overlords.

we all joke about this but large numbers of unemployed people equals crime

what's more likely is that the mechanization fuels a drive for more technicians, and men shift into that role, with the robots simply allowing more to be done with the same number of human workers.

nobody likes glorifying technicians because they're one of the most (male) gendered jobs out there

The next obvious step in this discussion is almost certainly not gamefaqs-appropriate.

Not at all.

Its a 100% chance that a beta wrote that article, tho.

Actually that makes the most sense given the situation.

So technically that would make it, Beta bait.

more like men are paid to caress a woman's feet while she works on the computer

bring her coffee

tell her she looks beautiful and she is intelligent and those other women are haters

this would pay minimum wage ofc


and if a woman is stressed, a beefy man could take a job being her human punching bag to let off some stress

Sounds like men should put down their meth and go to school.
