Of course the rest of The Truth's post is a load of bull**** and I suspect that he knows it too and is winding everybody up.:joker: |

A woman once came and fixed my cable box.Once.I nearly accidently directed her to the kitchen instead of the living room.We had a few dishes piled up.

It's not the free speech that's making me uncomfortable, it's the blatant misogyny and sexism. |

I know several women who fit laminate flooring, tile, plaster, do joinery, even bricklay and one who is a plumber. More and more young women are training in traditional 'Male' trades such as Construction and Mechanical Engineering. The Times They Are A Changing.

..I think it's a mixture of many things people have mentioned, a social conditioning/individual family conditioning/physical differences between male and females etc...interesting as well that I've just read that apart from a standard for all health and safety, females need specific risk assessments/health and safety to their sex..so could be insurance being very high as well..?...either for an employer or for themselves in their own business for certain jobs/that could be a factor..?..male primary school teachers as well, I think you've mentioned that before, truth.../why aren't there more...imho of the experiences I've had...(and there are some, we have 3 at the moment in a relatively small school compared to town/city schools/and they're amazing...but obviously as you say, still not of equal proportion..)...males tend to prefer to teach older children but also to teach specific subjects, whereas in primary schools, all subjects are often taught by one class teacher, as it's more of a 'bitesize' of each subject...there is much more scope for teachers to progress in their careers, if they specialise in an individual subject...and again, a gender thing in many males still being the higher earner in families...obviously not in all cases but still in many...

Survivor US has a female Contractor/ Construction worker on this season.... So Whatisthetruth.gif... the truth :smug:
|
..actually I will add as well..with insurance..?...a few years ago, we had a plumber...(yes he was male/sorry truth..)...he has his own business and has a son..(around 19-ish at the time if I recall correctly..)...and his son came to help out with him a few days because he wasn't in education or employed...anyway, we were talking and he said that he would like his son to be a part of his business and his son would be all for that as well..but that as he was such a small business, he couldn't afford the insurance because it would be too high...really quite sad and something that should be looked into for very small businesses who would like to take on apprentices and teach them a trade...

I reckon this is actually a documentary about you, LT. You'll never let a woman in your life because you've been so wounded :(. And because you absolutely love gobbling the D but that's tertiary. |

But in answer to the OP, I would imagine it's because biologically speaking men are (generally) stronger than women and so are more inclined to go for those types of jobs?.....that's pretty obvious though |
