5. Male Nurses Are All Gay
The stereotype that “murses,” or male nurses, are gay comes from the idea that nursing is an all-female profession (see stereotype #1). Of course, the media hasn’t helped matters either. In Meet the Parents, Ben Stiller played Gaylord Focker, who was teased endlessly about being a male nurse, considered a feminine profession.
In HawthoRNe, Ray Stein (David Julian Hirsh) is often mistaken for being gay because he is a male nurse in a female field. In reality, he has a crush on Candy, the show’s resident “naughty nurse.” To add insult to injury, Stein also has hopes of going to medical school and becoming a doctor. Three stereotypes for the price of one!
