Except plumbing, as I understand it. (or any other really dirty job?)

Or carrying a sheet of plywood. And actually, in the business, they were talking about shrinking plywood down to 3 x 6, so women could carry it. Of course that means the effectiveness of the wood to resist shear loads goes way down, and you’d have to double up the sheathing just to make up for it (since hurricanes don’t care about the size of plywood). And even with all that, there are still only a very small number of butches willing to do that kind of work.
