Please note that some of the jobs are depicted as being female jobs such as nurse but this is not always necessarily so although in many countries the proportion of female nurses is much higher than male nurses. It goes without saying that both men and women can both be nurses and doctors so maybe take this moment to create awareness among your students in the classroom. Of course housewives are female as well but you might want to introduce the word house husband to make it clear that it is not necessarily the woman who stays at home.
