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.

Or how about just let the individual person (no matter what gender they are) do the jobs that they're good at?

exactly.....its nothing to do with immense strength....women can fight on the front line, female sportswomen are immensely fit and strong ....so why cant they do drainage , plumbing, road works, tiling, roofing, electricians, etc why are there so few?

You honestly feel that women don't do any of the manual labour?

I didn't say that. But the percentage of these jobs taken by women is pathetically miniscule. in real world politics, what percentage of the jobs you've had done fixing your house and all the equipment inside it were carried out by men compared to women. I would really appreciate a factual honest answer that doesn't play to the TIBB audience.

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.

You don't even know the meaning of any of those words. I speak the truth, you're too brainwashed to even see it. How many female workers have ever come to work in your house and fix any of the things I've mentioned? how many have you seen fix the roads? or go down the sewers or change your tyres? lets see if youre even capable of giving an honest answer? or will you continue to play to the feminist gallery? my friend you've been brainwashed , the sooner you realise that the more honest your life will become.

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

[Ammi]

..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.

hahaha I remember that

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
