        As a woman who used to do cash in hand construction work, I can confidently say more women would do those things if they didn’t have to put up with a hostile work environment

          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.
