The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Men in female dominated fields are entitled as hell. Don’t get it twisted
teaching is a female-dominated field but most principals are male
librarianship is a female-dominated field but most directors are male
Cooking is female dominated but most chefs are males
a large percent of hair stylists are women, but most major hair care brands are owned by men
