    As a woman who used to do cash in hand construction work, I can confidently say more women would do those things if they didn’t have to put up with a hostile work environment

      No, no. Women just don’t like those scary jobs. It has nothing to do with women being bared from professions for decades and that once they finally got there they had to deal with sexist bullshit to be taken seriously. It’s just that men are so good with their hands!

    • Also is this dude implying he knows how to design/build/maintain all those things himself? Cause lol. I design power systems, you don’t want me building roads

      This is hilarious to me that you think women are looking for that kind of work and are being kept down. But anything to make men or whatever group of the day the enemy. I assume you filed charges for this hostile work environment?

      Is it even relevant? Whatever the reason you want to use, the fact is those are male dominated professions. Those things got built, and they are being used. You can hypothetical all you want and argue what ifs, but at the end of the day it’s still giving zero credit, thought, or appreciation for having these things in your life.

      It’s easy to just dehumanize 50% of the population. Like what are you even arguing, that men actually are useless?

        That’s not what I think at all … men get pushed out of caring roles all the time too, and that’s equally unfair since they’re entirely capable if being compassionate and gentle.

        Both construction and care are low paid manual jobs that deserve respect and a living wage, and people should be free to do those roles if they have an aptitude for it.
