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.
