The entire nurses and teachers are heroes thing is utterly annoying. With 83.2% (per zippia dot com) being women, they have to make themselves important. I don't mean to degrade the profession itself, but it's pushed to replace male-centered professions as something to look up to. See! Women can do what men can do! In teaching, it's predominately female, too. Per the same site listed above, 74.3% of teachers are women. (Stats are U.S.-based.) We see the damage emotionally-driven people can do and many women are emotionally-driven.

I am not saying all nurses or teachers are bad, nor are the professions themselves. They're being used, in my view, to push self-aggrandizement. I see "Nurses Save Lives" on car tags in my state, but they don't have any for doctors. I see educator tags as well (and they're some of the worst drivers!).
