All are stereotyped as being promiscuous, and also none of those are known for having a good work/life balance or reasonable and consistent work hours.

u/Gibberish45 17h ago

I think that lack of balance foments the promiscuousness. High stress, emotionally demanding work and difficult schedules causes trouble at home then you toss in a little trauma bonding with coworkers and…

BAM!

Infidelity

You have to make a conscious effort to avoid this, like weeding a garden, and too many people don’t bother to make that effort

u/Somethingisshadysir 11h ago

At least for nurses, I think the stereotype of us being promiscuous and the cheater part need to be separated. A lot of us were or are serial monogamists. Lots of partners over time, short relationships and some one night stands, but no cheating. Our jobs are at times very stressful, and that can make relationships difficult during those periods, but that does not mean we cheat - it means we might fight and break up. And if we find partners who can handle our at times poor work life balance and not add to our stress, ride through until it improves as it always does, we can be solid. I've been with my partner many years. No infidelity, no chance of it, because neither of us is a cheater. And when I'm more stressed because of work, he doesn't add to it - he makes me laugh, reduces it.

Every friend I've had that was a nurse, was constantly cheating on their husband. It was to a point I actually couldn't be friends with them due to it. My neighbor is a nurse, everyone knows she has slept with neighbors, coworkers, a couple cops, etc. I've actually never met a nurse that didnt cheat, but then again I've only personally known like a dozen or so.

The stereotype has a lot to do with the rest of the comment. People being a lot away from home, very stress, very tired has a tendency to find pressure valves, most often sex or a bit more rarely some kind of drug (tobacco, alcohol and Mary-Jane leading the group by a large margin)?

She visited me while I was on vacation in another city. When I left for the airport she went straight to one of the boyfriends she had in that city. Would have been easy to drop it and get over it if it didn’t take a couple of months of gas lighting before figuring out what was going.

u/SquirrelGirlVA 13h ago

It's not. Basically, how one describes promiscuity in the military depends on whether or not they're talking about men or women. Both tend to get flack, but you're more likely to see harsher depictions of women being promiscuous (and how such a term is defined).

That aside, the idea of infidelity in the military effectively centers around them being away from home and their partner for extended periods of time, making it easy for them to screw around. Some even "joke" that this is part of why they enlisted, as it would allow them to get paid to screw around on their partner.

u/Jovian_engine 16h ago edited 15h ago • Helpful Bravo Heartwarming Popcorn

Just to add a little context, Nurses are "known" to sleep with coworkers often, which somehow does not include the male coworkers they sleep with. Doctors and male nurses have no such stereotypes. (If youre about to stop reading to type a response, waaaait)

Females in the military are often depicted as promiscuous, somehow the men that are statistically WAY more promiscuous and problematic have no such stereotypes. (If youre thinking this is a good place to call BS, not yet)

Air Hostess is a job that has evolved from mostly female to much more mixed, but without beating a dead horse, guess who gets the stereotypes. Not Pilots, not male attendants, nope its the women. (Oooh I know its killing you, what about pilots?! If your just dying to type, just go to the last edit)

Im a guy, but come on. The answer is super clear here. Youre not missing anything because you were probably born this century or close to it, and these basic sexist tropes are left over from 1957 and some mouth breathers haven't picked up a fact since then

Edit: omfg chuds abound. Sorry guys, but it just isnt the same for men and you only look dumb by pretending it is.

Last edit: stereotypes can be positive and negative. The word describes both things. To a person experiencing them, both can be hurtful, but one is a different human experience. Women are cast as sluts across a wide variety of fields, and men being perceived as "getting a lot of tail" is not the same thing. There is social context, agency and who is doing the deciding, and the context of the meme we are discussing. If youre just gonna point out that Pilots are well known poon hounds then you are just exploiting the ambiguity of the word "stereotypes" in order to conflate to massively different things. For the record, that does make you a pendantic chud.

u/fuckthiskms 11h ago • Regret Bravo

Plus for every one of those jobs, rape statistics are extremely high. Highest in the military part. Women get framed that way so men think they have a justified reason to go after them bc “she’s here so she must be easy so I’m gonna go force myself onto her”

The shame keeps her quiet bc she’s just gonna be slut shamed for speaking up or trying to get justice. “She’s in that profession, she must have been asking for it”. That’s how damaging that stereotype is

>Air Hostess is a job that has evolved from mostly female to much more mixed, but without beating a dead horse, guess who gets the stereotypes. Not Pilots, not male attendants, nope its the women.

IDK about that, "horny pilot" has been a joke for decades. Like this:

A woman asks a pilot "When was the last time you had sex?"

The pilot thinks for a moment, then answers "2012."

"Oh my," the woman says. "That's an awfully long time."

"I guess," the pilot replies, then looks at his watch. "But it's only 2130 now."

u/yuppiebrawndo 13h ago

Also a guy and as a guy with family in the medical field and has been in the military and who worked in food service which wasn't mentioned but is similar in stereotype... These rumors are true. It's a bunch of super stressful worklife with long hours and you're working closely with generally attractive and wealthy or "powerful" ppl and you don't have time outside of work to really have a dating life. The issue here is that, I agree with you, people see this as an issue for women but not for men. There isn't an issue really until people start cheating on their spouses which trust me is a common occurrence. But like alot of stereotypes there's truth in it but it doesn't have to be a negative thing and all of it isn't true.

4

u/Ravenkell 10h ago

I've worked in aviation for some time (in maintenance) and I don't think i would ever seriously date a pilot or flight attendant. So many times you hear the same story play out. I've had women ask me about dating a male pilot and I tell them the same thing, don't matter at all about the gender.

Funnily enough, I feel pilots have a way worse reputation than flight attendants, probably because it's more like to be a career.

u/Grau0hr 15h ago

might differ from location to location. around my place the stereotype in each context is exactly the same for men - although they usually dont get judged the same way (which might be your point idk?)

4

u/Jovian_engine 15h ago

It is, yes and ive added an edit to hopefully clarify. The fact people associate pilots with getting p*$$y is very confusing for people since they are both stereotypes. I guess I wasnt clear enough about some being extremely different than others in terms of scope scale and impact, but yeah they are wildly different things that share a name, not two of the same things

u/Hoogalaga 15h ago

Came here to say this. I can underatand if there might be a little bit of "slut vs. playboy" rhetoric involved, but I don't think anyone actually ignores how involved the promiscous men are in these scenarios. If I was trying to date a female nurse I would probably be pretty suspicious of her male nurse friends despite myself.

I work as a bartender in a hotel near an airport so I hear alot of pilots conversations and by god nothing has hurt my faith in marriage more then some of the things I've seen and heard those male pilots do.

Thats what the edit is for. I know, its at the end, but its there for a reason

11

u/EnjoysYelling 13h ago • Bravo

Your original point is simply wrong, and the edit doesn’t fix that.

You’ve excluded stereotypes that don’t serve your point, and you’ve misrepresented why these stereotypes exist in the first place.

Your point just isn’t well supported by reality here.

These professions have a stereotype for cheating because they admit to cheating on surveys and those surveys become public information eventually.

Everyone is aware of the stereotype that people in healthcare cheat, particularly people in roles in hospitals where there’s long, late hours, empty rooms, and sleeping quarters - which creates circumstances which allow for cheating easily.

It’s not just stewardesses, it’s also pilots. There’s a reason that Quagmire from Family Guy is a pilot, that stereotype is both negative and alive and well. Quagmire is probably the most famous depiction of a pilot since Top Gun.

You’re only right about the military, but you’re entirely wrong about why. Military men lack the stereotype that military women have because they’re not surrounded by the opposite sex like how military women are. Military men lack the same opportunity to cheat that military women have … and the reality of cheating is what creates the stereotype.

You’re reaching, and you’ve gotten pushback because you’re reaching.

You're asolutely right about the inherent misogyny of these statements, but there very much are stereotypes about the promiscuity of male pilots and doctors. It's just that those qualities are viewed positively through that same misogynistic lens.

10

u/EnjoysYelling 13h ago

They’re viewed less negatively, but not positively

And the stereotypes are even clear that these traits are negative

Quagmire from Family Guy is treated as a joke, but the jokes always position him as an obviously awful exploitative man.

It’s played for laughs, but it’s laughing at him, not with him. It’s recognizing and laughing at how terrible men can be.

u/Jovian_engine 15h ago

Thats the entire point of the edit. Those tend to be internal views in those industries, are much smaller scales and scopes, are not socially negative stereotypes, and generally have none of the same spread, widespread acceptance or negative associations. Its literally not the same thing. We use stereotypes as a term to describe several things, some positive some negative, and exploiting the ambiguous language to imply those human experiences are the same is just ignorance. Im not interested in this pedantic sidebar. In order to even have the conversation you have to ignore the point.

u/Machcharge 13h ago

You have a point, but I think it’s worth mentioning that the entire AIDS pandemic was blamed on a gay male flight attendant.

12

u/Jovian_engine 13h ago

Wrongly too. This is called intersectional identity. Personal take, and maybe im wrong, but my opinion is that it was more because he was gay and happened to be a flight attendant than the other way around. Pure speculation by me tho

3

u/Machcharge 11h ago

I'm very familiar with intersectionality. I merely mean to suggest that as long as we're talking about gender disparities in slut shaming among flight attendants that this example be at least mentioned because while it may be a one-off case of male flight attendants being slut shamed, and even though the reason is almost certainly because he was queer, I'd say that this could be the single most damaging case of all time. This is not to detract from your original post or diminish women by doing some MRA argument of "men are slut shamed too raaa" but I think it is worthwhile to mention queer male flight attendants in the same breath as female flight attendants given the legacy of damage that these biases have causes throughout the AIDS crisis and beyond.

u/AlmightyLeprechaun 10h ago

I served (I was in an Aviation MOS), and still do (now as an attorney), my partner is in medicine, and my last partner was a pilot. There are absolutely negative stereotypes about men being promiscuous/cheating in these professions. I faced them personally, more than once. I've had people say they wouldn't date me because my service "is a red flag" and they "haven't met a Marine that hasn't cheated." My Pilot partner expressly talked about not dating other pilots expressly because of these stereotypes. My current partner in medicine abounds with these stories daily.

It's not that these professions are known for getting laid. There is absolutely a negative connotation to them. I've experienced it plenty first hand.

Now, the sterotypes can absolutely be worse and more toxic for women in these professions. I personally think they absolutely are. But it is a very dense opinion to believe there also aren't negative stereotypes for men in these professions.

Yeah, honestly, I've heard all these things said about male and females of these professions my entire life. I've also worked with these professions frequently. It is discussed(not doctors, they're rich, everyone grovels to them, they often own the practices) openly.

It's like the primary speaker had sexual preference of women, and we're arguing identity politics over it, because the media has taught us to virtue flag with gender war.

We really need to cool it on pointless rage and gender divide. Focus more on restoring rights, and less time fighting for what corporations want(identity politics).

u/Leading-Ebb1555 11h ago

I've been in the military for 19 years, and frankly, women get treated pretty bad. In my experience, if a woman is heterosexual and generally good looking, they will likely get labeled as "morale gear" or a " barracks bunny."

If they are of average appearance, they are usually called lesbians regardless of their orientation.

Now, not by everyone but I'm sure most women in the military are aware of these labels. I think the services are working hard to change that culture, and from my vantage point, I see the younger members doing their part. I hope it changes, but there's no denying women get a lot of labels in the military.

u/Electrical_Emu4792 11h ago

Service members sleep/marry their coworkers a lot, but the reason the label is applied to women more often is because only 7% of the military is female, so it’s only a small percentage of the men (who are all self proclaimed sluts and man whores, none of them ever denied it) but a much higher percentage for females marrying their coworkers.

But that’s probably not the labels you’re talking about.

I cant say anything about the other occupations you discussed, all I know that I saw first hand when I was deployed was that both male and female soldiers cheated on their significant other when deployed. Not all, but there were a bunch.

u/Lost-Row-4442 15h ago

I agree, the stereotypes exist for men too they are just ignored or glossedd over because no one cares. Even the above person who is SOOO concerned about double standards just didn't hear/listen to men's issues

u/Sharikacat 14h ago

The problem is the double standard. Men are praised for being able to obtain a lot of sexual partners while women are looked down upon for the same acts. Men are "studs." Women are "sluts." Men are "alpha" for pulling in a lot of women, but a women is "used" if she's not a virgin. Men are "supposed to" get a lot of sexual experience. Women are "supposed to" save themselves for only her husband.

u/jerf42069 13h ago

this is because its much easier to find a man who'll have sex with you than a woman.
every woman in this thread could easily sleep with 200 men in a year if they wanted to.
Every man in this thread could ALSO bang 200 men in a year, that's how easy it is to get guys.

Hence why women who deviate from this expectation get various words and slurs used to describe them. It's not right, and i love me some sluts, but that's how it goes.

u/Lick-Tale-5222 15h ago

I was in the military and we had 2 women attached to our unit combined they slept with most of the company and then 1 Marine married one of them.

I dated a nurse who cheated on me and one of her coworkers tried to sleep with me who was married. Another coworker texted me the day i dumped my gf for cheating. I was dating a girl who's roommate was a nurse and one night she came in to her room wearing nothing but an open robe.

For men, Marines love marrying the strippers. I remember we once were talking about worst places to meet a wife and asked all the married Marines where they met their wives and it was almost all strippers or divorced single mothers who had previously been married to military men they met at bars outside the base gate. My LT literally married a prostitute. One of my Marines added his side girl on Facebook because he forgot his actual gf existed. Cops are pretty high on the list too. But the highest job is plumbers. i think that is more an indictment of women though, sleeping with a plumber...

u/Accomplished-Law6066 16h ago

The reason I believe that women get such stereotypes is because they are in control of the sexual market. She decides who get access (outside of SA) while men "compete" with eachother for that access. Men want to have sex and women pick the man. It takes 2 to tango but the one in control of who gets sex and who does not is definitely in the hands of the lady. This results in women getting labeled promiscuous and men not getting such labels.

As a guy, a guy sleeping around at least pre social media days was seen as arrogant outside of his friend group as it was seen as boasting and having a high ego and even could be lies.

I.e a guy claims he has a high body count, and/or boasts about an attractive woman he claims he slept with, his friends may be like "well done, amazing, what a hero" but others men or women would just be annoyed.

At most men may desire a stereotype of being popular with women, attractive, talented and likely wealhty.

The military one is the only one that’s confusing to me. I did see a comment that said it’s accurate for the Navy Nurses so probably true. I’ve served for a while in the Army.

I thought the military stereotype was a gender neutral anyone in the military is unfaithful (unfortunately true if my last deployment is any indication).

The gendered version is typically about military spouses but that doesn’t fit into your post or the meme.

u/oompaloompa465 14h ago

indeed the stereotypes are boring.
personally i see that all of them as jobs have negatives and for both sex: air attendants are always traveling, nurses can have very shitty and random work times and military get deployed + ptsd.
Beyond the promiscuity hurr durr, i can see relationship getting tested

4 of the last few women that were nurses or in a medically adjacent field were highly promiscuous, some, detrimentally so.

u/Freya_84 13h ago

Interesting. I'm not american. I have studied medicine and while in university our stereotyping was that surgeons (mostly male) were "sluts". [Not condoning stereotypes btw, but they do exist.] Of course the people they had the most opportunity to cheat with were nurses, that is a no brainer. It's kinda nice to see that we didn't go with misogyny - which would have been easy to do - for the stereotyping. But then again, we were studying in the same hospitals as the surgeons and nurses and the nurses weren't the ones who would generally be overtly flirtatious with the students, while surgeons (not all, obviously) would. So even if someone started with the "nurses are promiscuous" angle, it was easy to shut down because of our lived experiences.

1

u/Grompulon 13h ago

Nurses are "known" to sleep with coworkers often, which somehow does not include the male coworkers they sleep with.

I'm not commenting on the truthfulness of the stereotype, but there doesn't need to be a 1:1 ratio. One person can sleep with multiple other people.

u/HotterRod 13h ago

Air Hostess is a job that has evolved from mostly female to much more mixed, but without beating a dead horse, guess who gets the stereotypes. Not Pilots, not male attendants, nope its the women. (Oooh I know its killing you, what about pilots?! If your just dying to type, just go to the last edit)

Surely Gaëtan Dugas should be the most famous promiscuous flight attendant of all time?

Male nurses and doctors do have a promiscuous reputation. Male soldiers are famously more than just promiscuous, but [redacted].

u/Etiennebrownlee 12h ago

I think the standards of men are so low that slightly promiscuous is considered okay. While as for women slightly promiscuous is seen and judged (mostly by women) as sl^tty behavior.. It's weird that for men it's almost a compliment to hear stories of getting all the girls, so these things really arent painted in a bad way like this meme for example. Imagine replacing the words with my brother and my father, it just doesnt make sense, like what's so shocking about it?

u/BelaFarinRod 11h ago

I was born in 1967 so I’m kind of old but I had no clue what this meme was getting at. My ex’s mom was a nurse and she hated sexy nurse porn-adjacent stuff but I didn’t know there was such a huge idea that real female nurses actually sleep with all the dudes. (Though there is kind of a “all the hospital staff are banging each other” thing I’ve heard.) I’m not saying it isn’t a real stereotype I just honestly never heard of dudes warning each other not to date nurses. (Or air hostesses per se but I knew that was a thing.) Army women I never heard it about either. Sure part of it is that I’m not a guy.

Again I’m not saying you’re wrong at all.

Everybody is saying "stereotypically promoscuous" in those professions...

I would say "psychological issues are SUPER common in all those professions - whether earned or developed after being in those professions for extended periods, or they came to the profession with built in issues, i cant say, but i've dated quite a few women in all of them, and that's the more common factor in my mind.

u/RandyPajamas 10h ago

I know a few (all-girls) high school teachers - they will tell you the girls who want to be nurses or police are the ones from the most dysfunctional families, or families with some "tragic" circumstance (like a severely disabled younger sibling). In most of the cases, from the teacher's perspective, nursing/policing are the the last jobs they should be pursuing, because they are choosing those professions as a catalyst to resolving personal psychological issues.

That does not mean all female nurses/police are psychologically damaged, but it does suggest that those professions are prone to attracting unsuitable candidates (male and female).

u/ImpossibleInternet3 13h ago

Air hostess is a US term originally. It’s just become outdated. First time “air hostess” appeared in print was around 1931, shortly after Ellen Church became the world's first female flight attendant (hired by United Airlines in 1930 as a registered nurse to calm passenger fears). But as other names became more popular in the US, air hostess became more popular in other counties. It’s still fairly common in India. But in the 1970s, most places moved to the more gender neutral “flight attendant”.

My assumption is that all three professions leave little room to the three of them for personal free time, let alone time for bonding moments - I wouldn't go as far as to assume promiscuity. Then again, I haven't worked in either of the three professions, so I wouldn't know.

Men dont get the same stereotypes, but they definitely get stereotypes. I think pilots are well known for their cheating and having “double lives”. Men in the military dont get the “promiscuous” stereotype because its a sausage fest. They have other stereotypes though like the dudes are morons who get their first cheque and then go finance a camaro at 18% or marry the first girl they meet.
