How would they find the time to fly when their is the shopping, washing, ironing, cleaning and cooking ?
Titter ye may.....OO-er, Sorry, girls.
Dont, snigger any longer,men, doesn't it strike you as odd, that Bakers Professional Chefs, launderette operators, Professional cleaning and Valeting companies and Window cleaners.................................................
ARE PREDOMINANTLY MALE!!!!!
Truth is, GENERALLY, women are the hard-wired homemaking nurturers, men are the macho hunter-gatherer-protectors.
At school in the early 60's I queried the stereotypical curriculum.....boys had metalwork,woodwork and Technical Drawing, the girls did Domestic Science (cooking) neddlework and shorthand/typing......even though there were males who would gravitate toward the afore -mentioned "male" industries and male Clerks were commonplace, training was NOT an option in school...how enlightened.....NOT.
Come the 80's my sons were given school-lessons in the basics...came the "baking cakes next time , so bring an egg and a packet of cake-mix"..No. 2 wrote out the recipe, knocked up a sponge cake and the following morning shoved it under "teacher's" nose with , "THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A BLOODY CAKE, BYE BYE"...went off to "play" computers.
IMHO, Gender is totally irelevant...daughter had a colleague who arrived late due to his "hot hatch" car being extremely reluctant to start...she offered to "have a look" and sorted it in 5 minutes,much to that Asian male's astonishment...'cos girls didn't "do" mechanical or electrical in his culture!
That would be about 10 years ago......has it changed?
Used to be an attractive Blonde driving a Skip-lorry in Oldham....the people who rented skips just to ogle her, soon learned to respect her because SHE COULD DO THE JOB COMPETENTLY....that was about 20 years ago.
Just as the male midwife has to prove himself in a mainly Female profession, so with females in a "male" environment
truth of the matter is the exception stands out in ANY field and their peers will judge them on their ability, pure and simple.
