What do you guys think about a woman doing a "man's job" plumbing, electrics, construction etc? (Page 2)

Question

To me they are just jobs. Not just a man's job or just a woman's job but I'm just curious as to what you guys think about a woman doing that kinda thing? I am 20 looking to pursue a career in a trade. My partner of 4 years is an electrician and I mentioned plumbing to him as an option for me (as I'm still struggling with what I wanna do) but his answer and reaction was a bit iffy. I won't let anyone stop me from what I wanna do however, I just wanna know your thoughts. Would it turn you off/on if you seen or knew a woman doing that? Would it make you uncomfortable? etc

I agree. I don’t physically think I could do some of the jobs me do but.

It can be dangerous. I have seen videos where a lady with be under a sink on all fours trying to fix something and suddenly her stepson is on his knees behind her with his erect penis out :(

Andres77 · Answer

as long as u can do the work there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get a job doing it. good luck.

MirAbdulRehman · Answer

Well if your gonna be a wife to some one having these skills as a house wife is much more handy for both perspectives. Of you need and urgend repair or just a quick switch replacement, it's handy for you and it might be for your husband as well if he's not available for some reason and he wouldn't have to call an electrician or a plumber while he's not home.

ChefPapiChulo · Answer

I wouldn't care about having a female plumber. I'd actually prefer it. Women are more punctual, and careful. I've never had a woman do my plumbing tho.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, I like girls who can do these types of jobs Awwsome

I think you should find some feminine job. why don't you open up a restaurant?

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't see a problem with it. If anything, it's nice for people to break the norm, without doing anything bad.

lovedejj_xo · Answer

I don’t know how to do any of that and I don’t like being dirty. Soooo I’ll pay someone to do it. I wouldn’t care if a female came more power to her.

EssenceOfLight · Answer

It's just a job. Especially if you can make in specific trade jobs more money than with useless degree.

Anonymous · Answer

I think its great. there's not enough people going into the trades and if thats what you want to do it will be a good oportunity. I personally like learning about the trades so a woman that is into that would share more in common with me. Granted you would be surrounded by dudes but the career itself sounds rewarding

Avicenna · Answer

I don’t see a problem with it. Either someone can do the job, or they can’t, and anyone that wants to pursue a trade should be encouraged.

Anonymous · Answer

Only issue i have with it is that they seem incapable of doing it without talking about their gentials constantly.

Advertising : Female plumber! You should hire me because as we all know male plumbers are all rapists.

Fuck off..

BrosephBrostar · Answer

So long as you do it because you want to and not because you feel obligated to for some ideological reason, I don't really care. Of course, you also have to be capable of doing the job as well.

exitseven · Answer

Trades that require a lot of physical strength might be challenging but plumbing and electric is just moderately physical. I would not suggest being an electrician if you are afraid of heights.

EnglishEuropean · Answer

If you can hack it, go ahead. As a plumber you need to be super-strong though because you're going to be dealing with seized plumbing all the time.

Prince_09 · Answer

Many insecure ones aren't comfortable with it sadly. I think it's great

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

She can do what she wants, but I wouldn’t find it attractive personally. I’d rather date a girl who is nurse or teacher, something like that.

Ryfyle · Answer

Dunno, most women don't consider it an option so most women do go to the trades. Knew one who went from HVAC to Welding. No one is gate keeping on this, it's fust most women don't really care for the trades.

Yami-Dom · Answer

I agree with the posts about no such thing as gender jobs. As long as you are happy in your work. I would have no problem dating a girl who held a job that was traditionally a male job

Lunatic1 · Answer

It's just a job. If she is good at it, that is all that matters.

Jayplays900 · Answer

Less work for me, also a woman doing the 'MaNs jOb' is sexy as hell.

dragoblack · Answer

They are jobs. Jobs don't have gender roles or requirements. If you can do it, do it

Miristheiss · Answer

I do not think I have ever seen even 1 female plumber or electrician in my entire life.

betchimightbe · Answer

Go for it. There's a lot of money in trades jobs these days

ineedtree · Answer

No such thing. People love trying to control people. I see it as a way of creating a need for a man when she can actually do it her self.

2021biguy · Answer

You can do it, it's fine, but it is physically straining so you have to be tough and strong like a guy to do it. Can you dig holes, cut pipes, lift heavy pipe wrenches?

Shiningtempest · Answer

@babyspice0508 In the end, all that matters is a person knowing how to get the job done.

SuperDupper10 · Answer

If this is what a woman wants to do for a profession, Go for it. There is a shortage of skilled labor workers from what I hear, So if she is happy doing this work. More power to her. I would support her 110%.

Plumbing is a nasty business best suited for penis bearers. These jobs r dangerous

MrJMM · Answer

Jobs are not supposed to be based on gender because it's a freaking job so anyone can have a job regardless of gender.

McKellar · Answer

If women can do the job,... that's fine. I don't care which gender does the job, as long as either gender can get the job done. I'm happy with that.

m33lad · Answer

That’s true feminism. Of course that’s not what women want.

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's only uncomfortable if we find them attractive.

Chthou95 · Answer

Honestly i don't care. If you can do it, do it. The thing though is that most women don't want those kind of jobs

Anonymous · Answer

There are about 10x more people who are freaked out about people caring about this than there are people who actually care about it.

anylolone · Answer

If I'm not mistaken, electricians hate plumbers. And the construction crew hate them both.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Just like how I feel about a man doing a "man's job"

Anonymous · Answer

I would be intimidated by a partner who is the plumber because I’m supposed to be the one who lays the pipe.

Abdulwahh · Answer

You can do it if you really love it but just preserve your femininity
