Perhaps because you're not in those fields?

It's also a symptom of systemic sexism. Men don't dare fight for their right to be stay-at-home dads or to be nurses or whatever else is traditionally seen as female. It makes them look too much like ... you know ... not men.

If you look at the broader internet, you'll see there's been a lot of fighting happening for that too. Men asking for paternity leave without harming their careers, for instance.

But I digress. The most likely reason you haven't seen people fighting for equal rights in other fields is that you're not in those other fields and aren't exposed to their echo chamber.
