If you want to be a mechanic I say go for it....just don't bring the whole sexism crap into any workshop (unless a real issue arrises....then i say go for it)....I have been in the Aircarft industry for 8 years....and this whole topic of sexism crap is micro managed to the point where you can't even have a Picture or People mag in the MENS toilet.....honestly get over it.....if you wish to work in a male dominated industry put up with it.....you cant change an industry where you are the minority....it just wont happen...Chances are if you are good at your job all will be good and you will have the respect of both males and females.....but if you drag the chain be prepared to cop it....thats for both males and females!!!
Thats my 2 cents.....the more tradies in Australia the better!!!

I see a lot of females driving previous icons of male hetrosexuality. I know a lot of gay men that drive them too. XR's, V8's, HSV's, FPV's, utes etc.
I would now argue there is now no car that defines masculinity. Except for the 911 which is almost exclusively driven by lanky middle aged balding men. Some people link masculinity with the car they drive. This has been wrong for several decades. Women have been allowed to drive masculine pitched cars for a long time now. Toughness and masculinity are determined more than just what you wear, the car you drive and the tattoo you have. Women working as mechanics doesn't seem like much of a barrier. Real jobs women will have massive problems working in is things like brickies/builders labourer, physicist, model steam train hobbyist. |

If you think the Automotive sector is difficult for women to get into. Don't even think about the ultimate last basitan of maleness that is the antique steam engine clubs. There are more males in them than at a line at a prostate checking clinic. However, model steam engines haven't been a something a whole lot of people are interested in anyway let alone females. To me that is part of masculinity in a odd sort of way. To love weird machinery that much. Weird unsexy machinery. And spend many many thousands on it, building your house around it. Pure eccenticity seems to be the domain of the male. Anyone can love a V8 5.4L GT-P with 290 kw. Can you love a 50 year old 5 litre single cylinder 2 stroke diesel tractor the same way? How about a stirling cycle engine? How about the rush of watching a stationary tripple expansion engine plying its reason for being. |

How come all the girls are saying it's so hard to work in the auto industry?
Anyone else noticed the flange to sausage ratio at Bursons? |
