I always believed that I could do any job a man could do but six months of that sort of manual work really did me in; I just didn't have the same physical strength that a man does. I respect any woman who gives this sort of job a go but I think some jobs are definitely mans work.

A very good and realistic answer.I've done loads of manual work and it's tough going for a man too(even though we don't usually admit it
).It's unfair to expect women to do things that they are not physically capable of.Women give birth.I've witnessed that twice and god knows i would'nt wanna do it.I think we should all accept the differences and let women be women and men be men.
