Why don't they tell these toxically masculine men who are working on high voltage lines to restore power in the middle of a blizzard, where instant death is one slip away, why don't they go tell these guys what assh*les they are. Why don't they tell these guys how worthless they are and not worthy of respect, how they are the lowest members of society?
Kind of like a redneck joke.
Everyone laughs and disrespects rednecks until they need their car fixed.
Proud toxic male.
Don’t forget the weary aircraft line mechanic, working all hours, day and night - sometimes working 24 hours straight, just to get a plane back in the air ...
Working during inclement weather, freezing or roasting his butt off, and busting his knuckles for people he will likely never meet ...
Exposed to all manner of toxic substances, and suffering injuries to his health that will not show up for years.
Over the span of his career, this man will have the legal responsibility for the safe travel of thousands of people, whom will never know him or of his struggles ...
And yet, some will ignorantly remark “oh, he’s just a mechanic.”
