Can China today accept male nurses?

REPORTS SHOW THAT increasingly more men are working in jobs that used to be regarded as those for women. China Youth Daily comments:
Jobs such as being a nurse, a member of the aircraft cabin crew or a kindergarten teacher were generally considered "women's work". Being a nurse was even considered strictly women only. However, that is no longer the case.
Over the past several years, increasingly more men have been employed for such jobs, although their total percentage is still rather low. According to official data, more than 80 percent of primary school teachers in Beijing and Shanghai are female. In coastal provinces such as Zhejiang, only 10 percent of newly recruited primary school teachers are male.
