I refused to take homemaking and was the first girl they’d ever had in our high school agriculture class. The male teachers just couldn’t handle me welding on the class trailer project (man’s work) so had me teaching the boys how to weld.
BTW, the way to tell the difference between bulls and cows is cows have, uh, more feminine faces....
I watched a huge building go up from day one over the past few years. The most intriguing job was the crane operator. He had to climb way up into the sky every morning, and it didn’t seem that he ever came down until end of day.
He was alone, though I assumed in radio contact; and I guessed he had to pee in a bottle and bring his lunch every day. To top it off, he was right in the takeoff path of a nearby small airport.
I think a woman could probably do the actual job as well as a man; but i doubt that many women would be happy with the working conditions.
I looked up what those guys earn in my area, and it didn’t seem nearly enough, to me.
Haha, I took HomeEc just to be the only Guy in the Class with all the Girls. I already knew how to Cook, Sew, Clean, Grocery Shop and all the other stuff. The next year I took Wood and Metal Shops.
MMMOOOOOooo...
