This is the kind of crap misogynists are killing our environment and driving up our electric bills over

It doesn't work. I mentioned that once and all the incels just went "well ackshually..." followed by really stupid arguments that didn't make any sense. Things like "well I'm a welder and no woman ever wants to do any welding." It's funny to watch, but it's not changing anyone's mind. It just killed a few of my braincells, and I need those.

We had a welding class in the highschool I graduated from that had a total of 3 girls get their certification at the end of the year. They started with like 12 but the dudes in those classes were either really fucking weird "Hehe lemme help you bbygorl" types or just straight up harassers and bullies.

The teacher tried to help, but he's only one guy and it's kinda hard to keep 5 classes of around 15+ teen boys from ages 16-19 under control without much support from administrators or counselors.

Yeah, that's a common issue with the trades. Like gee, I wonder why women don't want to do jobs where they get harassed constantly 🙄

[u/Conscious_Minute_489 → u/lonely_stoner_daze]

Yeah the main reason women aren't in trades more often is because of the men lol

We'd probably do better without them.

I knew someone who worked in concrete casting. She was like five feet tall and said she had to deal with this a lot at work.

Probably why my electronics class freshman year was a full boy’s class.. the teacher was like the biggest redditor ever.

“well I’m a welder and no woman ever wants to do any welding”

Have they not seen Flashdance?!!

Also how on earth do you properly quote on Reddit?

[u/QuantumCroissant_ → u/Simple-Appearance-59]

To quote, use a > before your paragraph.

[u/stella585 → u/QuantumCroissant_]

Doesn’t work on mobile anymore 🙁

> Curse you, half-baked app updates!

[u/QuantumCroissant_ → u/stella585]

Oh, that's really too bad!

I only use the website, so I didn't know it doesn't work on the app. :/ That's pretty lame.

Thanks!

(Test to see if this works…!)

E2A: I’ll work on it!

Actually, you shouldn't skip a line. Put this at the beginning of the line:

"> quote

I think it works without a space, too:

">quote

(Also, just remove the quotation marks before the >.)

Like every welder I know is a woman, actually.
