In my point of view ...

Hello! Today I'll talk my point of view about gender problems in my career. Midwifery is a career in which mostly women study. For this reason, is strange when a man studies Midwifery. But, in my opinion I feel that Chilean Society don't react differently when a man says he studies Midwifery because this is not relevant. The gender is not important, is important the quality of the professional.

I think that a man midwife has a better chance of finding a job in the future because the amount of professional men is lower than women, and this is a benefit for the men. But, I feel that a woman midwife understands women better than a men midwife because the women are more sensitive, understandable and friendly, and this is a drawback for a man midwife.

I think that in Nursery there is gender issues because this career has few men students too. But I feel that's not a big problem for the people.

In my point of view there aren't prejudices about men working as midwives. I feel that the men are those who have prejudices about " man as midwife" because they believe that this career is very feminine. I feel that this thought is a problem of a global education.

Well, this is my opinion.
Bye, bye!
