I used to sell equipment and uniforms for police and fire departments. This was when female police officers was becoming a thing. It was hard for the first of them but it became more mainstream. Maybe the same could happen in construction.
In our era, when machines have replaced physical strength in a great degree, women can be as efficient workers as men.
None of the heavy lifting would get done unless the entire operation was mechanically assisted. Women do NOT have the upper body strength to handle the repetitive lifting.
Some bum ass company will make a bunch of pink tools
They already have.
@Massageman and grown ass macho men buy them thinking that'll keep other macho guys they work with from stealing them... only to find that half the macho dudes on the job have the same set of pretty pink tools and they sure as hell walk away just as fast as any other color. lol
@CasuallySamsonite yes

@Ronald_25 yesss ahahaha
There would be more vanity mirrors, such as you might find in a mercedes and the badges on the back indicating the vehicle was fuel injected e. g. 206 GTi would have heart shapes in place of dots for the 'i'.
Them. coming in as the guy would be great cause everytime there's a new female in a warehouse every dude and even the bosses are all over her but when your that dude it should be the other way around lol
"Focus on other topics, for instance teamwork, mental health, objectifying men and communication"
Seems much less like a question attempting to uncover truth and more like propagandistic promotion of an agenda. . .
The collective IQ of all construction workers would raise about 50 points.
Sadly, there's some truth to it. But you find the same situation in certain branches of military, or in the music industry (as just two examples).
The construction industry might not be too different but the overall society would probably collapse.
Nothing would ever get done. All work would be spontaneous and then remain unfinished for several weeks
Production would decrease by about 35-60 percent. Men have 30% more muscle than women. Men and women are different, its not sexist
True, men have more upper body strength and true, saying men and women are different is not sexist. You have considered maybe 5-10% of the implication of females in the construction industry. As a civil engineer, and as it stands you lack the reasoning to say 35-60%. Apart from muscle, why else would production decrease to this degree?
So I must wonder why on most site of male-only crews they set up a crane and use machinery? :)
Most infrastructure jobs are held by men about 85%. To even train the women production has to slow down. there's not enough of them working industrially so the women that are teachers and nurses will have to be trained
Oh well - no matter who it is: ANY (new) worker needs to be trained up. If you -here- think of ''replacing'' men you might be right. But otherwise I can't see how a woman operating a -say- tower crane or excavator is inferiour.
Nothing would get done. They would screw around and either gossip or be at each others' throats. Have you ever seen an all-female workplace?
Progress would slow to a halt. Prices would be unaffordable because demand would far far far far outstrip production. Women are unable to do these jobs productively
I work in construction and there are many females involved but everyone is treated as an equal
Everything would be very colorful but completely falling apart lol.
I don't know how could someone answer that with certainty, it's not.
They couldn't, I'm looking for and educated speculation, targeting a specific quality most women have that men don't.
Any speculation would be based on my perspective on women, not based in any statistics or facts.
I'm sure the field has something to gain from more women in the industry.
Thank you for keeping your answer vague 👍🏼 it's very helpful
Mahalo
Yeah, even less shit would get done. That may seem impossible, but I assure you that it is
There would be far more accidents, and things would not be built correctly.
well gee... nothing would ever get built for one =p
It wouldn't exist.. Most women don't want that kind of work it requires strength, precision, and getting dirty,..
Down vote me all you like. It's true.. Most women I have talked to when offered a construction job, or being unemployed choose the latter. Plus most women couldn't handle the long hours involved. Look at the national averages of women working. Average construction worker works 50 to 60 hours per week.. The average woman is willing to work 30 to 36.. It's rare to find a woman that wants to put the hours in.
