Male Nurses of the World Unite!

If my title in any way implies that I have medical knowledge, please disregard this notion. Aside from obscure medical knowledge for (possibly made up) diseases that I learn on House, I have absolutely no medical expertise. (did you know some cases of irritable bowel can be cured by a cigarette a day?)
I do, however, know about the human condition! And I would like to point out that being a nurse requires a great deal of medical knowledge, patience, and empathy for your fellow man.
That's right, I said MAN. Now if it's a fellow man, this implies the nurse is a man. Stop snickering. There's nothing wrong with male nurses. The only one I know of who was dissatisfied with his profession was Peter Petrelli on Heroes and that was because he had powers and was meant to save the world.
So unless your male nurse is a scrub-clad Clark Kent, stop turning your nose up at him (unless he's checking it for an infection). All of this goes along with the double standard that men are subjected to in today's world. When women go out for the football team, everyone says, "Oh look at how brave she is! You go girl! Tell those misogynists to make their own sandwiches!" But when a man wants to get a pedicure, all he receives is verbal beration (curiously not a word, but it should be) in the form of: "Shouldn't you be chopping down a tree? Shouldn't you be grunting and watching football? Stop stepping outside the bounds of your gender!"
Does anyone else see an issue with this? Are you telling me it's not brave of a man to go and get a pedicure? I've gotten many a pedicure, and they're most enjoyable. Especially whilst reading a graphic novel. You know who else gets pedicures? Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos. You want to screw around with him? I didn't think so.
So then, what is the problem with male nurses? Or male secretaries? Oh pardon me, male administrative assistants. It takes a lot of bravery for a man to step into a role generally reserved for women. If we're all going to be "progressive" then I say let's be progressive with everybody! So let's see ways in which men can be manly in ways you wouldn't expect:

I get my hair cut at a Salon. Why? Two reasons: the lady who cuts my hair speaks English, and the shampoo girls are hot.

I'm not a male cheerleader, but if I was, I'd be a lot more buff and I'd be in close proximity with hot women all the time.

I like watching reruns of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family. There are three reasons for this: both women are hot, the show is funny and brilliant, and it gives me something to talk to TV watching women about. (The ones who aren't fans of 24 and South Park I mean. You know, the ones with two X chromosomes.)

I've been told that real men wear pink. I have yet to test this hypothesis. I'm going to check my records to see if either Jack Bauer or Batman have worn pink when at a formal gathering. I'll get back to you on that. (possible example: Spider-Man's outfit with the wrong detergent might appear slightly pink)

Most commercials on TV involve a man looking stupid and his wife coming in and setting him straight. What if there was a commercial where the woman didn't know how to work the universal remote for the TV? (imagine that) Well, I'd say there'd be an outcry and all those involved with the commercial would be drawn and quartered (slight exaggeration). I say a society is not truly equal until everyone is made fun of equally. I want to see people insulted who are male, female, white, black, and Canadian. I say that this is America, and that no person should be robbed of his or her freedom to be the focus of an insult that is pop culture referencing, obscure literature referencing, or just plain mean. If Julius Caesar had laughed at Brutus' joke about the shortness of his toga, things might have turned out differently.
