Why is this always y’all’s excuse”
I dunno. Maybe an attention span?
“like you don’t have the ability to pick up trades.”
Within my lifetime, computer operators were mostly women, as all that typing made it look like a woman’s job in the secretarial pool. As computers became more interesting, man movied into the field. And pushed women out. And froze them out. And THEN, since they didn’t see women in such jobs, spread rumors that women weren’t capable of such jobs.
"At no point in your life have you been denied a physically laborious and necessary to our survival job.”
That’s not true. The false belief that many men have that women are incapable of such labor means many won’t hire women for that job, because they figure they’ll have to hire another man to do her work, since she can’t. So men think they’re doing right by the company to gatekeep women.
I saw the exact same thing whenever another rate or billet was opened to women in the Navy, all the old timers grousing about how their productivity was going to shit for ‘equal opportunity’ that was going to add bodies but cost manpower.
“You just don’t want to do it because you figured men would. You sure LAZY”
This is the exact attitude that kept women out of ‘manly’ jobs.
“but yes men build, maintain and protect the world we all enjoy” They also control the histories and tend to edit women out of the story. Especially after Christainity spread so far, they couldn’t handle women getting credit.
Same way Biologists would not publish any research about seeing gay behavior in animals, historians didn’t credit any reports of a woman’s contributions.
