These sexy "sparkies" are electrifying the internet.


TikTok is fawning over female electricians who are lighting up the app with their good looks and girl power   confidently carving out their own space in the male-dominated industry.


TikTok user @isabellmcguire0, who hails from the UK, has become a megawatt star after sharing a video of herself dancing to Akon's raunchy rap track "Smack That" at a work site earlier this week.


In the clip, the self-described "sparky" (a British slang term for electrician) was seen stripping off her dusty hoodie while wiring a house. She subsequently showed off her body in a crop top and cargo pants as she writhed to the rap.


"Suddenly my lights aren't working," one person quipped beneath the viral video, which racked up a whopping 10.7 million views.




"I think my plug socket needs changing," another male admirer cooed.


But sparks were also flying with female viewers, many of whom praised McGuire for proudly flaunting the fact she was in a traditionally male line of work.


"You slay girl," one woman wrote, before a second chimed in: "I have a similar job to yours and sometimes I feel soo insecure  but when I see girls on TikTok with worker clothes I feel so happy. You look so hot."


On Thursday, McGuire uploaded a second viral video from the work site, which clocked up more than 1.8 million views and showed her clad in construction boots and an eye-popping pink crop top.

Zero percent chance these girls don't hop from company to company collecting sexual harassment claims and ruining male workers careers.

I sure haven't seen any women looking like that on any of the job sites around here. Most look like former soft ball players that bat for the other team.

Our oldest is going into a male dominated field and we've had discussions about ways to earn respect and ways to lose it.  Things she'll have to be extra cognizant of, things to avoid, etc.  

She was encouraged by one of her professors to attend a conference for women in the industry that was supposedly covering the ^^^^ same things.  

She came home and was not in a good mood.  She tossed the goody bag they gave her onto the couch and looked at us like .  It was a pink tool kit filled with pink tools.

Yeah something tells me I wouldn't want my site done by the girl who is more worried about looking good for the pictures than getting the safely, correctly, and on time.  Maybe they can do that, but the volume of pictures indicates otherwise.

Pink tools if they were good would prevent theft and well meaning borrowing that can too often become permanent.

Tell her to sell it as a limited edition Barbie® Fixer Grrrl tool set on eBay and buy what she wants.  I bet she was biting her tongue to keep from saying "Is this a joke?" when they handed it to them.

I've met exactly one competent female electrician in 20+ years in the industry. Women usually don't have the physical strength to do the heavy lifting and that is 100% required to get the respect of the people you work with. Laziness or inability to do any part of the job is called out harshly. Of the 5 or so women I've met at work, only 1 is an actual electrician and still works as one. The mental stuff isn't an issue but if you can't do the whole job you're worthless to us.

Here's the exact progression of a female in the trades.

1. Ask for no special treatment
2.  Get accepted to an apprenticeship over better workers(special treatment)
3. Get a job over better workers(special treatment)
4.  Get paraded around by employer to showoff their equal oppurtunity employee(special treatment)
5.  Do minimal actual work(special treatment)
6.  Get shunned by actual workers because of the special treatment.
7.  File a lawsuit against fellow employees because they actually get treated how a shit employee should.
8.  Settle out of court
9.  Go back to step 3

More like she once plugged in a computer and now calls herself an ''electrician.''

They were very rinky dink.  

My sister bought a pink tool kit for around the house specifically because her husband kept taking her stuff and never putting it back.  Now half of it is laying around his garage.  He is secure in his manhood.

My wife had a very successful career as a Builder in the USN Seabees. 22 years of service and retired as a Chief Petty Officer.

It took a lot of hard work, she avoided the trap of getting an easy office assignment and fought hard to stay on projects. She focused on becoming an expert in her trade, pulling her weight on the job site and as she moved up in the ranks teaching and taking care of her troops. The people on her projects would work hard for her and her projects were always finished on time or a head of schedule. I'm very proud of what she accomplished.

Being a female in a male dominated environment can be a positive and a negative. All eyes are upon you, when you do good everyone notices but when you do bad Everyone Notices. It's a difficult road. With hard work, staying professional, avoiding the personal drama on the job site and not becoming a stereotype it can be a rewarding career.

See it often.  Guy on the job fucks up.  "Tony had his head up his ass today."  Girl on the job has the same fuck up.  "That's why women shouldn't do this job."  

Oh well.
