Idk, man, I work in a dirty southern US factory and half of our workers are women.

One search for "women's rights blue collar" and I find this study, so, false. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26967056

Also, have you not heard of Rosie the Riveter? lol

Journey level construction worker here. Your statement is simply incorrect. This fight has been going on for decades. The EEOC did a report on this a couple years ago and found that women and black people either flatly denied work or are subjected to widespread discrimination, harassment and violence. I’ve seen years of this behavior everything from sexual assault to threats of lynching. https://19thnews.org/2023/07/construction-industry-women-people-of-color-discrimination/

Man, people out here just lying what they feel like before doing a basic search. I have dumb ideas in my head from time to time too, but I look em up to see if I didn't just hear something wrong first.

just flat out lie out of nowhere lol. lay off the podcasts for a while

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.

You know, you could always keep your dumbass mouth shut.

Incel chimes in

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

Weird, I guess I just hallucinated that presentation, put on by a painter(the kind who paints several kilometer long bridges)(who was a woman), I saw that included a part about encouraging the women in the room to get into trades.

Idiot.
