Why are dentists always male and their assistants always female?
I've been to three offices, and know of at least 2 others, where this holds true. I'm sure there are exceptions, but why does this seem to be the rule?

A lot of doctors, lawyers, astronauts, computer engineers, etc in ANY field are male, whether it is because woman opt out to raise a family or what, we will never know for sure. I do know there are more women in every field now, and hey, we may even have a woman president.

NO, THIS IS NOT A RULE. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THERE ARE MORE MALE DENTISTS THAN FEMALE DENTISTS.

Where did you get that idea. I went to a dental school to get my teeth worked on this year and I had a knock out student working on my teeth.
