Here in NZ...
a male friend of mine was a nurse. He ended up being assigned to a mental hospital.
Whenever they had a violent person that the females didn't want to deal with he had to do the job.
He ended up leaving after he was beaten and hospitalised. The only reason that happened was because he didn't fight back. If he had the patient would have had the broken bones.
So even in this lovely egalitarian world, we still have the "Aaaaagh Spider!" problem. We're equal tough girls until we feel we need a man to do something nasty.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
