      That’s a strange picture, considering how women have never pushed for equal representation in blue collar work or any of the ‘shitty’ jobs.

        Women absolutely have pushed to break down barriers in the trades and blue collar fields. Women are also demeaned, under-considered, and sexually harassed every step along the way.

        Not sure how it’s elsewhere, but in Germany most woman in blue collar jobs quit within the first year of training, because they are not taken seriously by teachers and colleagues (not sure where i read this… i think there was a study last year)

          Not at all true, there are certainly organisations pushing for equality for women in blue collar work. First search engine result

          Search query. Who’s helping women with blue collar jobs. Whoa! first results tells me women are being helped with blue collar jobs. Hmm, I wonder why helping women with blue collar jobs was an article in the first place. I’m sure there wasn’t a problem before the article.
