While I agree many of these are problems, I think some of these issues stem from societal upbringing. This regards lifting things primarily. As a male nurse, there are many times I get asked to help lift patients while I’m busy, while there are other female nurses sitting around just because I’m the guy. Coworkers also make comments like, “oh...chivalry isn’t dead.” I can see how this is an issue if someone is persistent about doing a task for someone that the other person is adamant they can do. It can also backfire when a coworker doesn’t help and then may be presumed as lazy. I was raised to always help others and also be courteous to all regardless of male or female.
