I just don't post that many OPs in GD and for subjects that I think warrant serious discussion I prefer to post here. There's no shortage of women who engage in hard labor that is degraded by society. I think the impact is disparate to men at the extremes of the things you mentioned, but by no means unique. I value the labor of women and men and I think we'd have a much better society if more people did as well. Most of Europe is way ahead of us on this.

Because I believe it to be of interest to men, which doesn't mean it wouldn't be to women Major Nikon Nov 2013 #3

If the work is strenuous, dangerous, unsanitary or involves toxins, it's probably dominated by men. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2013 #4
