Jobs I (You) Have Never Seen Females Work In

-
While I was a driver engineer on Tampa Fire Dept, there was a fellow female driver engineer( promoted position that includes driving the fire apparatus, Pumping, setting up aerial trucks etc) That had written permission from THE Fire Chief, that she did not have to drive or operate the fire apparatus during in climate weather! She could sit in the back of the truck while a firefighter drove and did the job she was promoted in to do! Yeah let that sink in! The only one out of 750 uniformed F/F that could do this. Or another F/F that had exercise induced Asthma didn't have to fight fire or exert herself. That is why I wrote what I did in post #35.
 
Well, i never saw any female pilots flying any type of military aircraft during my years in the Air Force.
No such thing back then, during my day in the USAF.
 
I worked at Bethlehem Steel for a very short time in the early 70's, and there were women working with big grinders and flipping 20 foot steel bars over. I promise you I never hit on any of them.

FALSEHOOD, go back the original greek and Hebrew texts, don`t mention a rib, (curve) is ! Back when the king James was interpreted they didn`t have a clue about the "helix curve", so they used the only curved thing they knew.
Deep stuff !!!---------GOD only knows !

Fascinating. Never heard that. Best part, doesn't change anything in the basic meaning.

I like how God "made" Adam, but Eve He "fashioned". Man is functional, but woman is a treasure created by a true artist. Similar, but different.

I know a lady that was a commercial plumber. She even says that while she did the job and did it well, she shouldn't have been doing it. Her body is paying her back because she wasn't built to do that.

Talked to a lieutenant in the Army about this one time, and he said that the issue he had with the women in his platoon was not one of "doing the job", but that they physically broke down way earlier than their male counterparts, and had many more injuries and problems because of it. They just couldn't take the punishment of carrying a load and walking the distances necessary.

Wish we could get away from "job = value". There are men I wouldn't want to carry my fat butt out of a burning building; doesn't mean they aren't men, or have less "value". But somehow the idea that I wouldn't want (most) women doing it means that somehow I think they are inferior.
 
Not that I'm around it much but I have yet to see a female professional welder, which is surprising... historically women have been skilled with their hands especially delicate procedures needing a soft touch, and it seems to me that women are less ego-driven when it comes to their work; lots of welders claim to be the ultimate badass but the quality and strength of their work isn't there. Female machinists too, haven't seen one of those yet. I know Rainy Day is an example of much of the above though.

I want to see more women in engineering, plenty of them in science and medicine but engineering is still male-dominated and it's boring lol. Not for fraternizing but just to bring a fresh way of thinking to the table, a woman is probably more likely to think outside the box and have her own perspective on things.

I believe women are different than men, for the most part they were created suitable for different things than men. But I also believe they should be able to take up whatever job they please, AS LONG AS they can perform all the required tasks without special treatment. That part is what pisses me off about the feminist movement, plenty of examples mentioned in this thread about that issue.

A job is a job, if someone can do it well I don't care who they are. I think the biggest issue is men with ego/dick size issues getting butthurt when a woman can do a job better than them. If you're a real man then step up your game or just go with the flow and accept it. Maybe they know something you don't and if you're friendly might be able to pick up on those skills, ya never know.

Little sister was structural engineer/construction management grad from Cal Poly :D
She got the brains.

In the late 70's I worked with a Hot, Blue eyed woman welding in a factory in Hesston, Kansas.There was a division that made Roll Cages for Caterpillars. Had to be Certified and able to roll the cages around with a big crane to get all the welds. Her welds were always perfect and she would wear you out in an 8 hour shift. Did I mention she was hot.Every body in the weld shop hit on her.
 
0331, Machine gunner. Although in 2016 there was one WM that asked to be one. Don't know how that went but the other WM line officer candidate failed the forced march test...twice...then they lowered the standard for them......and yeah, this F'n gun is heavy!

I have yet to see a significant female car designer / builder. Maybe there's a few in the automotive industry as designers and not just the hot rod industry, I hope anyways. :)

There are quite a few women welders around my area. My college hosts a free "Women in Welding" workshop that introduces ladies to mig, plasma cutting, and stick. They also have guest speakers who are successful ladies welding for careers. It was great! And the workshop fills up every time.

It'll be interesting to see how few females there will be in the industry I'm going into. There's only 3 women (including me) in my college program currently out of... Maybe 50+ men? Going to school for Mechatronics / industrial automation BTW.
 
My first semester as a Local 12 Operating Engineer apprentice we had the first female apprentice in Local 12. I was in the mechanic's class, she was in the equipment operator's class. We went to the training site where they had many pieces of equipment to train on. My class repaired/serviced them and the operators did their thing. Girl get's on a scraper and breaks it, she tries a back hoe and breaks that. She wants to try the skid steer loader and asks me to show her how it works. I dug some holes, did some grading, backfilled the holes and then I started doing wheelies across the yard, lonnnnggg wheelies. She tried it briefly and parked it. Next time we go to the training site, no girl. I asked the instructor what happened to her "She decided operating equipment wasn't her bag and took up dental hygienist training". We were kinda glad that she wouldn't be tearing up any more iron for us to fix. :rolleyes:

Right on for taking Mechatronix class. I helped launch and develop the curriculum for ours in Oregon tied to OSU. It was very innovative back in the day and fills a huge niche yet today for industrial mechanics. Thank you for taking the course!
