I agree though one of my nieces is a plumber (qualified) after being a dairy hand. She’s tiny and very pretty.

It works!

i recall having a bloke offer to help me move rocks around the garden and we weren’t just telling little rocks. I decided to do it myself. Puny thing he was. So it really is horses for courses. But. Yes in general more men are ok with physical jobs. Women aren’t too bad with those requiring dexterity however and fewer jobs need brute strength nowadays.

some beliefs around females in jobs come from tradition- for example it was believed that women brought bad luck to an underground mine so there was huge resistance to them being there.
