Make sure you keep that misogyny in check there.

There was none in my post, you are seeing something in yourself, you must have missed the incredible disruption to the nation as the lawsuits and investigations and suits from the government that led to where we are today, there was massive forced restructuring in work places to adapt to what the female found acceptable in the work place, from physical conditions to photos on desks and calendars, to affirmative action and quotas for hiring and promotions.

If you are too young or wasn’t a heavy news reader during the early decades of it in the private sector then you might at least have watched what it did to the military.

Nope, he pretty much hit the nail on the head there. Having a 4th generation business now when women left the office and started on the shop floor the difference was startling.

I'm certainly not sexist in any way, but women by nature are not the same as men at all in an industrial setting whatsoever, and just like a wife to get mad at a husband for doing something that they don't approve of, it was the same way at out shop too. Jumping on a skid and going up 20' to change a lightbulb with the forklift was not even given a second thought, but then OSHA comes in and lists it being witnessed by employees, all of which had worked there forever except for the new hires we brought in.
