Why are HR positions primarily held by women?

Women dominating HR, admin assistants and nursing is an artifact of patriarchy
As time goes on and we see women increasingly get more access to other higher positions we will see more diversity in those positions that were once traditionally held by women. We already seeing this with nursing, the other two lag behind because of pay most likely

It's one of those clear distinctions between men and women. They're just more emotionally attuned then men.

I knew one straight as arrow jarhead marine who built his career in HR though. It was a weird dynamic. It was when I worked and managed a warehouse. Dude was the type to tell you to do some push-ups and walk your anger off about something.

Bedside manner.

And also, it’s probably just a coincidence. I have known a lot of men in HR.
HR got nothing to do with bedside manner. And for anyone who ends up interacting with them just know...they aren't on your side. They're on the side of the corporation. Doesn't make them bad people, but you have to keep that in mind or else you can get railroaded fast.

Would you rather get fired by a woman or get fired by me?

Women and gay dudes gravitate to HR because it let's them know everybody's personal business. It's like being a professional gossip.

They know what you make, where you live, how many kids you have, which employees are fukkin, who has a weed card, who got arrested last weekend, they know if alimony/garnishments/ child support is coming from your check....and they get paid sit around and talk it.
Sounds like something :patrice:would say

We're more likely to tolerate workplace abuse if we can go sit down with a pretty face and let her ease your suffering.

because the company can point to HR for diversity and inclusion. HR is where you'd have to deal with those issues to begin with
