I love how OP ignores that fact it's men keeping women away from these types of labor jobs 'cause "it's a Man's work".

Yes I'm sure the amount of women wanting 2 go into construction is equal 2 men b/c, U know, they'Re totally identical in every way and stuff

No, current feminist theory definitely points out that the gender specific blue collar vs. Pink collar jobs is the largest force behind...

The wage gap. Also if you're going to say the wage gap is a myth you are out of date on the definition.

The wage gap is a myth. It's been debunked countless times.

OK how is the wage gap totally for real this time?

Male-dominated fields can be hostile atmospheres for women, which is probably more so of a deterrent than the salience of a profession.

Thanks. Most of them are young and work part-time. What was your point?
RedroverRedrover
What's YOUR point? These are the jobs available to young women. The jobs available to young men pay much more.

No, they don't "pay much more". Men work more hours than women. It's in the evidence you gave me.

Why? Women don't want equality in these jobs. They don't fight for equality for men in teaching, child care, or nursing either. We're geared

GayForward
As a woman in Mining, yes. Let's get more women out here. The amount of sexually harassment might actually go down
aerodynamit3
Because women are incapable of committing sexual harassment?
sneakysneakysoysauce
I wish a women would sexually harass me... I'm so alone...
Gnoll
I worked at a steel mill and was never sexually harassed. A few people let me know I shouldn't be working there, so, regular harassed?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
The question is whether you can easily make it into management / exec positions? E.g. how many top earners at your company are female?
GayForward
Very few at the actual mine. I've never seen a female mine manager
HitlersArtCritic
Is it any different than what you'd see in an office or is it more flavoured to be directed towards mining?
kerrberr
I've never seen any mining puns, but there's plenty of opportunity for bosses to pressure that is more mitigated in offices
starmasswarseffect
You mean like puns about getting drilled?
HitlersArtCritic
Something like that, yeah. "Hey sugar tits, you wanna get drilled?"
Gomer592
you do realize the men who work these jobs tell each other to "go suck a dick" and etc but only the women are getting pissed?

It's more like a guy who asked me out every single day for 3 months and then ranted about what a bitch I was when he finally gave up
Gomer592
and his little ego is worrying you because??? im glad women are entering 'male dominated fields' but men are men, women are crazy
GayForward
It was annoying to have someone tail me around, making me uncomfortable and hitting on me. I come to work to do a job. Not chit chat or...
GayForward
Flirt. By involving me, technically his superior, in his little game, he's taking me down a notch with him in professionalism

I think it's really awesome how the internet is now so simplified that even the functionally retarded can operate it. You go, OP! Gold Star!
eddiesharpe
This kind of points out jobs that men wouldn't hire women for because they didn't believe they couldn't do the work...and still don't.

To be absolutely fair if you say you want more miner women you get on an FBI watch list.

They did. Among other court-ordered solutions. The workers are a more diverse group now. It's a good-paying job nowadays.

The difference is that most women do not identify as feminists.

That's nice, and anecdotal, but most people - including women - don't identify with the label 'feminist'. For obvious reasons.

They worked in mines during the 1800s industrial revoloution

Britain for starters, Mines and Collieries Act 1842.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't about to research the wrong country's laws.
Kiore
Someone else just posted another link noting the same was true in South Africa.
Thisisnotreallymyname
Yes, and were banned once unions became a thing because men feared that too many workers meant lower pay. Women were an easy target.
WhyDontICare
In the UK women and children were banned from working down mines because nudity was the norm. It wasn't seen as decent to the Victorians
Thisisnotreallymyname
It actually wasn't the norm. They found only a few cases in 1 mine (a few young teenagers and one child) and it was then used as propaganda
youcantbanmeimabadbitch
Wasn't there a movie made about women in mining kinda tackling this subject? I think Charlize Theron starred in it.

Men have also been historically barred from lots of jobs on pain of ridicule and harassment, usually from other men. Nurses, for example.
whatapplepie
yeah, toxic masculinity is a shitshow
Luminousfox
Or anything involving any kind of childcare
TGWeaver
That's not quite the same as being ACTUALLY barred from jobs, like, by law.
somerandomtwat
yes but its still in the way and the law has not stoped any sex from not geting a job in years apart from a very set few cases like (1/2)
somerandomtwat
some military jobs but yet people are fighting to make sure male domiated fields are evened out but are not for the female dominated ones
secretlibby
Those fields aren't "dominated". They're relegated to women because they're seen as inferior positions.
tercicatrix
No. Shut. Up. Moron. Women were literally BANNED until the 70's from mining jobs, etc.
somerandomtwat
yes in the 70's
tercicatrix
You can try to be dismissive about that being 'years'... But the lack of protection from sexual harassment is a barrier men never faced
