As a woman, I would not want to go into homes of people I do not know by myself. I fully live my life but am also aware of the levels of harassment and assault women experience. I've experienced both, myself. So, the trades would (generally) be not something I was interested in b/c of a) I'm just not interested and b) the other reason I stated.

You're assuming most of the trade jobs involve going into someone's home and they don't. Most plumbers are on new builds or commercial, especially the better ones. Think about it -- you get nice steady easy work for  months on end if your job is to install the pipes in a row of cookie cutter houses in a new development. Same job site every day, clock out at 5pm. Compare that to running all around town fixing backed up toilets if you do repairs.

My relative is a finish carpenter and she's never stepped foot in an occupied house for work. Another relative is an HVAC tech -- only does installs on new houses. Another is a backhoe operator -- commercial land and new builds only.[/quote]
