Someone with a shallow familiarity with feminism like myself won't find anything surprising here. That patriarchy (which is a set of commonly held attitudes) disadvantages men as well as women is well understood. That many women have patriarchal attitudes is also well understood.
However, don't assume that these things are fixed. Highly feminine occupations such as film editor and software engineer have long since "flipped" to being male-dominated professions. Nursing could easily be next.
Or, you know, we could all grow up as a society but I'm seeing no evidence that this is likely to happen.
