"Why does no one complain about this?"
"Why does no one complain about this?"
Where do I even begin with this one? I think I'll just let this one be open mic.

I knew an Nb who tried out as a plumber. The job was fine and they were perfectly capable of doing it, it's just that every other plumber they met was an unbelievable piece of shit. Or something about the culture being hostile to anyone who wasn't a straight white male

I’m pretty sure Cop-Teacher is the most common marriage in the US in terms of professions (excluding one/both spouses being unemployed or staying home).
There’s a reason why schools look and function a lot like prisons, and a certain type of chud attracted to the disciplinarian system.
Unlike cops there are decent teachers out there, who really do strive to help kids how they can. The environment and funding and support is just not there.
-
I wonder what's up with that perception. Like, I meet "progressive" teachers a lot, but that's because I largely meet "progressive" people a lot.

I was a plumber helper for a week and a day. I was being paid 14hr to help dig up septic pipes and drainage fields. Was never given proper PPE to touch shit with. My supervisor would blast Tom Mcdonald in the work truck and treat me like shit on the job. Which isnt universal in labores jobs Ive had supervisors who were fucking ex cons that still had control over their emotions.
Anyways that supervisor and my coworker were racist as shit. Big reason to never show up again

I find this hilarious. Like, usually I imagine McDonald as the sort of slop hogs listen to privately because it just isn't very good music, so they are basically listening to a slam poetry version of facebook boomer memes with some garbage trap beat on top, but it's all just a recitation of grievances, you aren't gonna dance to that shit. That and they use it as a shibboleth to find out if someone is Your Guy. Blasting it in public is shit taste even for a Tom McDonald fan.

“I want there to be a male bias in jobs.”
“Here are jobs where men are overrepresented”
“Men are the victims here.”
You got the special treatment you asked for, why are YOU complaining?

I have worked between multiple Data Center Technician contracts during COVID. I was treated like shit in all of them, and the culture was heavily conservative/fascist. Those jobs need to be paid a lot more, have much better working conditions, etc. before the culture can be improved and the jobs are less discriminating to nearly everyone.
-
and the culture was heavily conservative/fascis
I'm convinced every techie is a fascist until proven otherwise
-
Yeah, it's pretty lonely being a commie in my field.
-
It depends on what side of the industry you on. Cushy IT Admin position at a company of half decent computer users where updating Adobe is how you keep your job? Probably a fascist.
Installer working the frontlines and in more customer oriented fields? More lib and leftist.
Funny how having jobs that imply you have power makes people more fash, as if power always corrupts and that corruption usually looks like Fascism.

Because nobody wants to hire women for those jobs you goddamn ding-dongs
-
Also I doubt many women want to go into strangers homes to do work for obvious reasons, in the case of cable installers. For the other jobs, a lot of times those work environments aren't as appealing to women because they get treated like shit by their male coworkers. Same goes for visibly LGBTQ people.

Oh hey, it's one of those men's rights activists that posts "Where are all the feminists?" or "Dont women want equal treatment?" with a video of burly men working on an oil rig.
-
-
I always like to flip it right back at them.
“That’s the special treatment you asked for! Why don’t you want special treatment anymore?”

You care about men's rights, Elon? If so, let your workers unionize. I'm sure the men who work for you would love that.
-
Part of the problem is that the New Deal, passed in coalition with Southern apartheid Democrats, promoted unions specifically in industries dominated by white men. So the jobs Elon listed are more likely than other jobs to have a union, and its probably reactionary as hell

Like as if bazinga billionaire and the terminally online hack behind end wokeness actually cares about any of those workers listed.

That's interesting, Mr Muskrat, please face the wall
-
He's rich enough to make this issue his personal hobby horse and fund a billion dollars of advocacy on the issue every year for the next century. But he isn't. There is perhaps no-one on earth with concerns as hollow and vapid as his.
-
I've definitely known women that jumped from blue collar to desk work just to get away from some shitty men emboldened by a toxic culture, but I suppose I'm preaching more to the choir and less to Musk here.
-
Oh so you care about those workers and want to make sure they get better working conditions and pay right?
-
why does no one complain about this?
He complains to his audience of fellow complainers who complain about women all the fucking time
-
ok mr smelly go work some iron
-
It's kind of fascinating how Musk will regurgitate conservative talking points that are decades old. I've had co-workers in the past who were like that, who would spout opinions that was like a time capsule to 30 years ago.

Men yearn for asphalt.

setting aside the rest of my life to organize an advocacy group for the one political issue I care about: gender-equal hiring initiatives for the least pleasant career you've ever heard of
-
Man is heavily against workers unionizing and illegally threatened such efforts in his company. Gtfo with this fake 'concern'
-
if all of those short films I watched growing up are accurate, they only hire dudes with freakishly massive penises to install cable.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

-
Yeah those dudes should have their needs met regardless of profession
"No, not like that"
-
They do. They're actively trying to market to and recruit women but internal good old boys clubs keep resisting from inside.
-
I legitimately cant get work doing this shit, and even if i could working with men fucking sucks, completely soul destroying
anyway i think musk is calling for DEI? Cap the number of men who can go to garbage academy! Bazinga
ps i have international mens day committed to memory, Im an #ally

Thats what happens when you scare women out of those fields.

I'm sure Musk cares very deeply for men working dangerous thankless jobs and doesn't think them to be mindless Orcs that give him treats because he's a coastal elite billionaire manbaby.
You’d think more white men would be insulted on the idea that the only “reward” their boss wants to pay them in is being “the king of the help.”
But that’s how it always goes. The reason white boomer men are loyal lapdogs that live vicariously through Wall Street scumbags and the Koch brothers is because of the whole idea that as them all being white. They’re fellow elites too! After all, they’re the asshole boss in the domestic environment, and republicans are protecting asshole bosses in any form.
Nonsense! I bet he's offered horses to many domestic workers.
