[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if a woman was inclined to do so, the best trade jobs are often controlled by guilds and unions, and it is a lot easier to "get in" as a man.[/quote]

I agree with this. You can make a living wage by getting into a trade, which are dominated/controlled by men. I can think of no female equivalent jobs that provide the same salary and benefits that don’t require a degree. [/quote]

Men don’t control the trades anymore.  Women are free to become welders, electricians, sheet metal workers, plasterers, bricklayers, and the like.[/quote]

Do a tiny bit of research before posting. Just a tiny bit.

“Women in construction make up 1.2 percent of all skilled workers. To break it down even further, here’s how women are represented in five popular skilled trades: welders, 4.8 percent; electricians, 2.4 percent; carpenters, 1.7 percent; plumbers, 1.6 percent; HVAC technicians, 1.2 percent.”

Considering women in these trades is a pretty new development, it is safe to assume top management is still dominated/controlled by men. [/quote]

Top management of what?  Again:  women are free to join the trades, joint apprenticeship programs, and so on.  I’m sure there are affirmative action programs.  It’s illegal to discriminate.  Don’t want these jobs?  Fine.  But they are there fir the taking.  The fact that it is still male dominated does not equate to control.  Stop making everything political. [/quote]
