    What I like about this film is that it captures the enthusiasm of the women about their work, and has excellent footage of them doing their jobs.

    Thank you for posting this! I'm deciding what career I want to pursue and the trades are intriguing to me because they are hands on and well paid for the most part. It's frustrating to be regarded as "the second sex" so it's really inspiring to see women working and succeeding at a skilled profession that is overwhelmingly seen as a "man's job". These skills are so practical and I would love to become proficient in my own ability to build structures that will be used by people.

    Excellent video.
    Obviously, there will have to be a change in the way some electrician jobs are described. Like "inside wire lineman"...

      Fuck off with that bullshit. In My own experience, a woman couldn't produce the same amount of work as a guy have her size.

    @AlexAtGuilford 6 років тому +3

    To address the claims of those who think women can't do this. It's not so much that women can't do it, as they never wanted to do, because they never had to; and thus never thought to. It's doable within a very narrow and limited scope, see the stats at 5:40 here, ua-cam.com/video/b9EP26f7bfw/v-deo.htmlm40s . Note that the highest numbers are in the easier, cleaner, less dangerous trade crafts with higher opportunities for indoor/sheltered work.

      @Rafael Acosta True. I did wonder, but not anymore. It's clear to me that equality of opportunity and choice under the law does not have to mean _sameness_ . That men and women are not the same is fine by me.
