I have a friend who is an engine mechanic and is really really tired of men looking at her funny when she fixes their car and making offensive remarks about her sexual preference (because being a car mechanic must mean she's a lesbian) to her face. Another acquaintance used to be a crane operator. She liked the heights. She quit because no contractor would hire a construction worker who happens to have a vagina. Among reasons sited: they'd have to set up an additional bathroom on site which would add to costs.

You want to know why women stay away from such professions? Because they're tired of this bullshit. And I say this as someone working in a male-dominated world, where just in the past week I've been called "domineering" for speaking my opinion and literally IGNORED when a question was asked about a "male" subject (computer hardware). I was the only one in the room who answered. Three times in a row. And ignored. Because vagina.

Did not look like you had been ignored at steemfest though.

Having pink hair and being really loud helps!

But my point stands. Asking why more women don't go into construction is like asking why more men don't go to become nail technicians. Our culture makes us assume all kinds of things about people by the job they choose. No matter how great you are at making amazing manicures, or how much money you make doing it, if that's your job, people will mock you for being feminine and assume you're gay.
