Women Laborers

Women, working out of necessity, performing jobs that were once in an all -male dominated workplace, has, to some degree, been unfairly labeled as lesbians. These rumors can be very embarassing and also damaging. Women in a male dominated workplace have enough injustices to cope with; less pay, no extra gender allowances or priviledges are given to them.

Driving eight wheeler trucks, operating mowing tractors, cranes, to name a few unlikely positions for women. But, they have to live, feed, and shelter themselves and their children. Many of these females are single parents. They are doing all they can to stay afloat. Maybe in some cases, the males feel threatened in regards to their positions.

Truly there's enough work for us all. No need to resort to name-calling pettiness. If some of those same males that place negative labels on female workers would be willing to carry more of their weight at home, and do the right and honorable things for their families, more of the women could become stay-at-home moms.
