Can men be dishwashers?

Dishwashers are a type of work in the catering industry, mostly female workers. So, can men be dishwashers?

The answer is of course yes. It’s just that most men don’t want to engage in it.

Why are most dishwashers women? This is because dishwashers are required to be meticulous, patient, and tough. These characteristics are common to all women. Another feature is that it requires basically no skills, and precisely because of the low technical content, the wages for this type of work are also very low. It is more suitable for women who have no other skills and have low salary expectations.

Why don’t men want to be dishwashers?

The most important thing is the low salary. As a man, there is pressure on your shoulders whether you are saving money to find a partner to get married or you need to support your family. Therefore, even if it is hard physical work or very tiring work, men are willing to do it as long as they can earn money. The wages of dishwashers are low, and most of them are women. It is also very embarrassing for a grown man to do it.

But nothing is absolute. In small restaurants, the cooks are usually responsible for cooking and washing dishes. Most of them are men, and they can play any role. Mainly from the perspective of cost saving.
