Firstly, there are no 'girly' or 'manly' jobs, so write that down.

Secondly, maybe the jobs considered 'girly' have shit pay, on account of rampant misogyny. You know - the kind of misogyny that prompted the writing of this article.

If you read the article, you'd see that line is attributed to a woman, an economist at University of Michigan. Its a weird way to refer to nurses and teachers, I agree.
