36 years in the workforce and I have noticed that when a woman makes a big stink about being a woman and uses the gender card to complain about unfair treatment at work that most of the other workers see her as a jerk and management sees her as a high maintenence pain in the rear employee. When a woman does a good job and does not expect special treatment just because she is a woman there is respect from pretty much everyone the same as if it was a man. I also know a whole lot of women that make way more $$$ than i do so no sympathy for crying about the workplace from this end. Work suks and we all get the shaft ocasionally.. stop yer whineing and get on with it...
PS. when a guy is a high maitenence pain in the ass at work it's no different, they just call him an as#@&%e instead of a bitch..

But Walleye, if you hadn't noticed this thread really has legs!
Anyone familiar with Camille Paglia's approach to feminism?
Apologies in advance if that's a bore. I certainly get a kick out of her stance.

I am suggesting the establishment of male dominance and hierarchy (patriarchy) comes from a very violent past.
early stages of our evolution on the level of our ancestors did not require for women to enjoy sex or to be compliant with it, the only thing required was for males to be stronger, larger and more physically capable. There is a reason men evolved larger, and stronger than women and its not just to do with hunting and protecting the species.
Gawd, get out of the ivory tower and go buildering on that UCLA campus.
Sheesh....

Found the trailwork picture I was looking for! This is pretty much my "regular job" on the trail crew - at the grip.
I guess I am on the "lift" one here(instead of the "pull"), and I DO do the lift grip, but when it is big stuff like this one, I usually cannot get it all the way up. I will do what I can and then a stronger person will have to take it.
We also have a Lewis Winch now, which is a chainsaw motor with a winch attached where the blade would mount, but I do not think I will ever feel comfortable running it. It is heavy and moves quickly. If something goes wrong and you are manning that thing, you had better be on the ball and know how to manage it immediately. It is loud, and the operator really cannot hear over the sound, so must relay on hand signals from others should they need to stop unexpectedly.
When we got the winch I was worried because I would have been the natural one to be put on that task, since it was doing the same job as a griphoist. I was relieved when we found that the Lewis wasn't going to be the replacement for the grips after all - I still had a job!
Maybe some might think I am not the equal of a man as a crew member because of these things, but I am pretty sure the guys on the crew don't see it that way. I would be *extremely* shocked if I later found out people on the crew said I had a bad attitude, or spent my time looking for the easier jobs. And pissed off as hell!
edit: Oh! and take note of the non "male standard" work gloves!

That's nice HappiG, really it is; you know I'm genuine.
Now, I'm not doing this to start any kind of trouble.
Not on purpose even.
But this thread needs pics for context. Or something.
In my opinion, PTC isn't getting enough well-deserved points here for a lively, brisk, kick asss attitude and her fetching & unapologetic independence, if a little top heavy on the writ. We could do worse. Much worse.
I'm voting PTC fork over a cyber lap dance for BVB?
Seems like it's in the cards anyhow. I could be wrong. But if I'm right?
PTC's asss, or so I'm led to believe ... from her supertopo photo stash:
The blue-collar take-it-or-leave-it version:
The artsy sensitive comehither version:
BVB, get your motor runnin' ...
(Won't be any more of this tomfoolery from me, but it had to be done).

Some sh#t makes you strong. Some sh#t makes you dumb.
Once you're dumb & strong, you're ready for BigWall climbing
haha - I think this would be an excellent text graphic for a t-shirt. Captain, May I?

Evolution will not be on your side.
umm noo....in nature, as a woman, if I went out of my way to not actively pursue sex or invite it or comply with it, I'd still end up being f*#ked by some male whether I like it or not! That's how the future of the species is certified as a no-hassle, no room for error style guarantee!
Real laws of nature have no room for delicate and sensitive tastes.

Someone may or may not. You are a figment.

Ha!
I don't even know what that means but somehow the comic timing is dead on.
I read that about three times in a row and it just bust me up every time.
