Um. Policemen, Firemen? High risk, low pay, huge service to other humans,
traditionally male.
I don't think this has anything to do with gender, but more about having a
self-sacrificial personality and helping others in need (to a point, of
course). When you are self-sacrificial, you tend to speak up for yourself
less often, even to your own detriment. It makes you very vulnerable.
