Is it Morally Acceptable for a Man to be a Paralegal?

My understanding is that paralegal is a “pink-collar” job, i.e. a field traditionally occupied by women. Do you consider it acceptable for a man to be a paralegal, or is that as gay as being a male secretary?

A guy I knew was a paralegal for Skadden Arps. They sent him over to work in Germany for about nine months. He got to party - a lot.

You might not get to party in germany, but if you like the job, go for it.

If you need to ask other people whether or not it would demean your manliness to take a certain job… then you are the right guy for that job.

no worries fella

You misspelled “socially” in your thread title, just thought I’d point that out to you, since you apparently have no clue what morals are.

I didn’t say I thinking of becoming a paralegal.

“Pink collar” or not, I can’t imagine a more boring job than a paralegal’s.

As for morally acceptable, I say just go the male nurse route and that way you’ll usually be surrounded by female co-workers and that should provide some opportunities to test where you’re at morals-wise.

Why would it not be ‘morally’ acceptable? :expressionless:

can you see that i’m just playing with words…morally, socially, philosophically, anthropologically, whatever…generally the people on this site are known to rage against the feminization of society so would you see a man in a pink collar position as contributing to the problem?

You’ll be surrounded by chicks all day… yep sounds gay.

Now being surrounded by guys all the time? Manly!

haha…Ever sit back and look at how “labels” and “job titles” are used to control how people think of eachother ? I dont think a job title defines any 1 human being.

A paralegal’s primary duty is the raping of babies.

Yep, it’s totally immoral. Your friend is going to burn for this.

Sweet, sign me up!

It is moral unacceptable for a man not to be a paralegal.

After seeing this crash and burn, I’d like to take my serious answer back please.

people will probaly call you gay anyway, regardless of what job you have.

The only thing a man can’t be, is a woman.

NOTE: A sex change makes you a woman, so you’re not a man anymore.

Yes, but you can’t write your name in the snow when you pee.
