What Are Some Female-Dominated Careers?

We all know that finance is male-dominated (although slowly changing). I'm curious to know what you guys think are some female-dominated careers where guys would get similar benefits (diversity, etc.) if they were to apply. Off the top of my head, I can think of pharmacy and nursing. Modeling is another one, but I'm not sure guys would get any sort of advantage.

As an Asian male, it seems like the chips are stacked against me in finance. I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to know if there are any fields where my gender and race doesn't work against me.

I know for a fact that many L'Oreal management teams are almost 100% female and they are desperately seeking male applicants. if you are qualified and would apply as a male candidate, I am sure you would have a huge advantage.

But I am not aware of any official "male quotas" or programs anywhere.
