Dangerous Jobs For Girls - Please...Give Me A Break

[im]

Anyone see the 3 feminists doing the lumberjack thing in deepest Canada on TV last night?

2 weeks training and they're up a mountain felling trees with the top-boys because "anything a man can they can do!"



42 qualified men killed doing the job in recent times (6 in the last year?) but they "achieved their goal" (per CH4)

Bloody PC Bullst program. Even after 2 weeks you wouldn't want them swinging those industrial chain-saws anywhere near YOU.

The "business exec" one was pathetic.

The feminist one deserved to succeed, she tried hard.

The blonde "army captain" was a disgrace to the forces and just made a fool of herself with her know-it-all attitude and complete inability to listen.

Penis envy.

If you want to be treated as equals, stop making programmes that single you out due to your gender.

NEXT!

I'm not showing this to the wife...

City Girl: Why? Your a glorified pen-pusher, why do you think you can chop down fking great redwoods when you can't even start the chainsaw up?

Feminist Academic: Fair do's, she listened at least but could she do the job properly for a month or two? No, she'd be screaming for her peaceful library and hen-pecked hubby in a week...She got down on 1 knee and asked him to marry her to which he burst out crying...FFS!

Soldier Girl: Christ where do I start - if she's an example of women in the army then I'm shocked! We're in deep do-do if she's who's defending the realm in the face of the enemy - and she's a 'Captain' in the army t'boot!

Day 1 "I've pulled a muscle in my wrist..."

saw the adverts but predicted it would be a load of pc bks explaining why women can work in whatever they want, even if they weigh 2 stone and couldn't fight their way out of a paperbag

Although paperbags can be tough sometimes

I was unfortunate enought to catch a bit of this ste last night, that Army woman was unbearable, thinking she knew more about the industry than someone who has been doing it all his life.

Thats EXACTLY what this series is all about.

Yes, I dare say after 6 months training and with supervision and a large dollop of luck you could cut down a fking great Redwood one morning and live to tell the tale...but could you cut down 5 in a morning...and then 5 in the afternoon...5 days a week...for months on end...under pressure to meet company deadlines every day???

I THINK NOT.

Would you trust any of those women with a fecking great chainsaw at a certain time of the month?

The 42 fatalities would go through the roof.

Mans job end of story.

The feminist did ok, but what an idiot, "I think I can be friends with men now". Jesus fking christ get a grip you lesbian the world is a big place it doesn't all look like the inside of a library.

The soldier, idiot, thought she knew it all. And its embarrassing she is in our army. I am flabbergasted she is deemed strong enough mentally and physically to be in any army.

The other was was just a joke. End of really.

As someone who's got a forestry background, I'm 100% sure that some women can (and do) do the job (tree felling) just fine. However, they're the type who just get on with it, already know how to be friends with men and tend to be built more like brick sthouses than front page models. It's a bloody hard and bloody skilled job. Posturing doesn't get that job done.
