I remember before tech was big, banking had a reputation for being very "bro" oriented, meaning "misogynistic" "frat bro" men. Arguably, all professional jobs were like this because the women were mostly assistants but banking seemed to maintain the male-dynamic one of the longest given the work culture being too difficult for women and hard to change (even still is among the more high finance roles).
Before tech was kamikazed by the feminists in the 00s, it had a reputation of being quite "male-only" but more the nerdy male types not the "frat bro" types.
Now banking and tech are some of the most female forward jobs out there. I work in banking myself and I kid you not, there's times where I walk into the office and it's me and 20 women working for the day. Some women have even called me the "token male" before.
A friend of mine works in engineering and she says right now there's a huge push with all the major companies who employ engineers to only hire women. She actually hates it because they're hiring absolutely retarded female engineers who are so bad at their job that now all the men just assume that because my friend is a woman, she must be bad at her job because the idea of competent female engineers existing seems non-existent since they've flooded (her company at least) with so many female engineers regardless of talent simply for the fact that they are women.
What sorts of white collar careers, if any, have a more male dominant work culture/environment? Have they all been destroyed or are there any refuges out there for young men starting their career today?
...Maybe orchestral composition? One of the few areas I can think of where I've never really seen women's names being rubber stamped left and right.
Actually, music in general seems to be an area that hasn't been totally dominated by women. Certainly they've been present there for a long time, but nowhere close to the point of pushing men out.
Not sure if any of that qualifies as "white collar", but it's certainly not entirely blue collar either.
Most orchestra members are now female, as are about 3/4 of conservatory students.
I specifically said composers, not musicians in the orchestra.
I should've been more specific about what I meant regarding "music in general", since with that part of my comment I was referring to more contemporary musical forms than orchestral (as in, bands within the last 10-30 years).
Yes, many might have one or possibly two women in the group, and solo pop artists can often be women, but when we're talking about bands that actually play a full range of instruments, a good majority of the band members are still typically male.
