Abstract

Our culture puts a significant amount of focus on discrimination towards females in the workforce, which is important because women historically have been treated as inferior to men and unfortunately that attitude has yet to disappear in some workplaces. Due to the focus on discrimination towards females, society neglects to focus on the discrimination towards men in the workplace—in one case, nursing.
