Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's a strange picture, considering how women have never pushed for equal representation in blue collar work or any of the 'shitty' jobs.
Journey level construction worker here. Your statement is simply incorrect. This fight has been going on for decades. The EEOC did a report on this a couple years ago and found that women and black people either flatly denied work or are subjected to widespread discrimination, harassment and violence. I’ve seen years of this behavior everything from sexual assault to threats of lynching. https://19thnews.org/2023/07/construction-industry-women-people-of-color-discrimination/
Idk, man, I work in a dirty southern US factory and half of our workers are women.
doubt
We hire who will come in. Women have proven to be better coworkers than young men because they actually show up and do what they are supposed to. I've been here for nearly a decade, seen folks come and go, and I am less impressed with gen z every time they hire one, he can't show up on time two days in a row and hide all day when they are here, and get fired in a month. Everybody here gets the same chances. Nothing we do here is that hard, it's repetitive, not exciting, but not hard, and we pay above average for the area. It's always attendance that gets the guys too. Make it make sense.
I've been in a lot of blue collar environments in a previous career, and this is definitely something that happens. It's not normative, but you'll usually find a few construction companies or factories or warehouses in an area that employ a much more equally-gendered workforce.
Incel chimes in
One search for "women's rights blue collar" and I find this study, so, false. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26967056
Also, have you not heard of Rosie the Riveter? lol
Man, that woman got screwed over. Used as propaganda to rally women into factories, then after the war swept off and told to do "women work". I really do not understand how society can claim women are inferior, see them constantly prove otherwise, use them as necessary, then dismiss them quickly after. Countries have seen queens for centuries, and somehow the other women of those countries are deemed less than men.
I mean, on the point of queens, they were still usually regarded as lesser. Just more of a "lesser of greaters" type of deal if that makes sense. Highborn man>highborn woman>lowborn man
You know, you could always keep your dumbass mouth shut.
just flat out lie out of nowhere lol. lay off the podcasts for a while
Man, people out here just lying what they feel like before doing a basic search. I have dumb ideas in my head from time to time too, but I look em up to see if I didn't just hear something wrong first.
Women absolutely have pushed to break down barriers in the trades and blue collar fields. Women are also demeaned, under-considered, and sexually harassed every step along the way.
"Exactly, so why would they want to be there" -This guy probably
Not sure how it's elsewhere, but in Germany most woman in blue collar jobs quit within the first year of training, because they are not taken seriously by teachers and colleagues (not sure where i read this.. i think there was a study last year)
Weird, I guess I just hallucinated that presentation, put on by a painter(the kind who paints several kilometer long bridges)(who was a woman), I saw that included a part about encouraging the women in the room to get into trades.
Idiot.
Not at all true, there are certainly organisations pushing for equality for women in blue collar work. First search engine result
Search query. Who's helping women with blue collar jobs. Whoa! first results tells me women are being helped with blue collar jobs. Hmm, I wonder why helping women with blue collar jobs was an article in the first place. I'm sure there wasn't a problem before the article.
A problem like widespread sexism in the industry? smh
What?
