Quote HistoryQuoted: My hands are pretty scarred up. First major one was from a box cutter a friend was operating when I was 16 working at a grocery store & helping him throw out frozen. 6 stitches on the second knuckle. That same finger decades later got majorly tore up when I was cutting some sheet metal & I gave myself a huge gash on my last knuckle. Over a year before the tendons healed & I could straighten it. I’ve cut through work gloves so often I don’t even bother wearing them. Fine control is more advantageous to me than minor protection. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of scar tissue...I'm one of those who, if I do get cut, ends up not noticing immediately. I understand dexterity; there are some tasks best left to a non-gloved hand. When the gloves are mandatory, I like employment more than dexterity.  I'm just saying, I doubt anyone can tell much from a cursory examination of my hands; because at most, that's all you're getting...if that. I think it'd be a weird request from an interviewer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because they don’t actually want to be working in that field, just like the girls in these videos. I was in the Infantry and now own a construction company. No women Infantry when I was in, but we occasionally had female FOs attached to us. Those did their job and didn’t fuck our guys and create a bunch of drama. No issues other than one of the married joes sniffing around on deployment and we shut that shit down right away. In my business, I employ a few women. The ones in the field last an average of 2 weeks. The ones in the office do their jobs and don’t fuck the guys. So no, I’m not talking about all women. I do paint with a broad brush. It’s called generalizing. It’s not always true but it usually is. All humans do this. I’ll also go on record as saying most no-beans chili eaters are losers. So yes, in general, women are not the best electricians. Or Infantrymen. Or weightlifters. Prove me wrong. I disagree on everything they do or don’t do being judged as being a female. The issue specific to this thread- making dancing tiktok videos while taking your clothes off at work- is something I’ve only seen from women. I think I already addressed your “3 posts down” point. It’s up to the supervisors to shit it down. There will always be horny men and there will always be women that exploit it. Both suck and need to control that shit at work. I do have positive thoughts on women, that’s just not the threads created here. Notice I never create these. All of the threads about women on this site are either about dating tips or complaining about them(divorce, mgtow, etc). So this isn’t the place for pats on the back for being a woman. That’s what Reddit is for. My thoughts on gender are as follows: men are physically stronger and generally better at logical decision making. Women are better at overall communication and nurturing. Both are required. If this offends you then, again, Reddit. This is the first even-handed post on women I've ever seen from you. I'm the first one to say there's nothing wrong with male or female oriented jobs and they're that way for a reason. Not offended in the least. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. My 40 years of experience has been that their brains aren't wired for troubleshooting. Deductive reasoning and map reading must use the same part of the brain. |

That’s all well and good till we start running 4 inch rigid. Then we find out who’s going to run the oiler while the rest of us run pipe.
I’m not saying there are not women who can be master electricians or be project managers. There are. But electrical work is hard heavy work in nasty conditions and is suited to men. I have worked with women electricians and none of them could keep up when the going got even halfway tough. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If they are in fact Electricians, I'll guarantee they don't do any work. I've worked on commercial jobsites that had a reasonably attractive woman as a helper/laborer. She didn't have to do shit! Guys from other trades would rush over to "help" her lift, carry or move any material. Even guys that weren't even in the same trade! It was funny as well as pathetic. Like when a woman comes into GD.  Sadly, this is WAY to true and it's the tarded [boomer] older men that are far worse then the younger ones as far as doing their work for them. PS, I'm a late boomer but never bought into that shit, equal pay for equal work is what you wanted, that is what you should get. If you hire females in a physical labor work environment, you HAVE to put them to work immediately exactly like the guys and make sure the guys aren't going the work, if you don't, you will have a very hard time dealing with both the males and the females and you will, if you put your foot down later, probably have a harassment claim made against you. |

She was also irritated at me before she went because I made her go buy something professional to wear. She texted me when she got there, "I feel so out of place. Everyone else is in summer dresses or jeans and I look like an idiot in my pantsuit." I texted back that she's going to make a good impression on the people who count (obviously before either of us knew the pink tool kits were coming ). She relented when she later got pointed out as an example of how to dress properly for the job interviews they'd be going on. Me:  Attached File |
