      No, no. Women just don’t like those scary jobs. It has nothing to do with women being bared from professions for decades and that once they finally got there they had to deal with sexist bullshit to be taken seriously. It’s just that men are so good with their hands!

        Ah the classic, it’s ok to make broad generalizations about men or women, but if someone does it back now you get to nit pick whether or not all men know all things. But it’s ok to call men useless or unnecessary? Or what is your interpretation of the original t shirt if not something disparaging or negative towards men in general?

          Dude reread the shirt. It doesn’t make any broad generalizations. A woman. A man. A fish. A bicycle. It doesn’t say all women can live without all men. You’re projecting.

          What’s wrong with a single woman living life without a male partner? Nothing. That’s what the shirt is saying. Your response is exactly why people feel it needs to be said.

            Ah interesting. You’re arguing there is only one way to interpret art. I disagree. How about a bicycle is a completely unnecessary burden for a fish and cannot under any circumstances benefit a fish?

            Secondly, I doubt most would agree with that interpretation of sayings in general.

            You know that old “Give a man a fish…Teach a man to fish…” saying. You think that’s applying only to one particular man? That’s nonsense.

      This is hilarious to me that you think women are looking for that kind of work and are being kept down. But anything to make men or whatever group of the day the enemy. I assume you filed charges for this hostile work environment?

      Is it even relevant? Whatever the reason you want to use, the fact is those are male dominated professions. Those things got built, and they are being used. You can hypothetical all you want and argue what ifs, but at the end of the day it’s still giving zero credit, thought, or appreciation for having these things in your life.

      It’s easy to just dehumanize 50% of the population. Like what are you even arguing, that men actually are useless?
