To the Editor:

Re “Why Men Don’t Want Jobs Done Mostly by Women” (The Upshot, Jan. 5):

White men will not take on “pink collar” jobs and erase the stigma as long as they are unwilling to do what minorities and women are willing to do, often lovingly and for minimal wages, at risk to themselves and their families. These workers are unacknowledged by our society for their humanity and heroism, changing diapers for our diseased, disabled and elderly loved ones and cleaning up after them.
