Yeah, every girl dreams of toting 50 pound sacks of cement and a tool belt................
Fewer “welfare mothers” will be a good thing.

Excellent point. They need to understand fully what the job is, befor jumping into it and then expecting others to do the work for them.
It’s a good idea.
They can start by constructing supper.
Then constructing breakfast in the morning.
Then constructing the new dishwasher I will buy them.
As long as they aren’t using tax dollars, I don’t mind.
However, I think it is a waste of time. How many decades have they been saying females are being actively discouraged from going into various STEM field, and they have all these programs to encourage them, make them feel valued, opening opportunities and so on.
But there are some fields women don’t really have a propensity to go into...and likewise for men.
For years, I recall hearing about females in sports, and how the only reason they weren’t competing on the same field as men is because they have been discouraged from certain sports. But men still finish 10-15 ahead of women, though they have been running marathons en masse for decades.
I see this as being similar in some ways.
Or heavy packets of shingles up a ladder to a rooftop with the temp at 105, sit on the roof all day and hammer shingles. Various other construction jobs should appeal to them as well.
Sacks of cement are 80-90 lbs. I used to whip them around without thinking about it in my 20’s. These days I think about it.
50? I remember 70 and 90 pounders.
Better that than your daughter wanting to get a useless degree in Gender Studies or some other such crap.
There's nothing wrong for trade schools for females who don't have the ability to go to college and get a legitimate degree in the essential STEM degrees...........
50 lbs?
Bag of cement = 1 cubic foot, weighs 94 lbs.
Of course there are smaller bags at the big box stores for DIYers.
At my age and with my back problems, I buy it in the gallon size zip lock bags. ;>)

I worked roofing, painting, wallpapering and at a cabinet shop. One of the builders I worked for would put me in charge of the crews if he had to leave.

The bags will become 20 lbs. And they’re already talking about shrinking plywood to 3x6 feet. This crap won’t end well...
