In fact the above meme pops up along with a lot of self-defense stuff. Anecdotally, I have been noticing more women working construction; though I haven't looked at statistics. As for other ppe fields, idk about gender disparities in those but I know nursing is a woman dominated field and that requires plenty of ppe. Science research, labs, factories etc I have no idea about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply) [–] Vanth@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago It was only within the last ~5 years I could find multiple options for women's safety shoes and not just small size men's shoes. Even then, I end up having to buy them online. My father had one woman classmate in his engineering classes back in the day. She was labeled as a ::shudder:: lesbian due to her STEM proclivities. Can't imagine why more women don't want to go into fields that require PPE when they're just so gosh darn welcoming. permalink fedilink source parent
