I don't think she'd approve of the hot chicks thread...

My wife is a professional engineer. When goes out to check out progress on homes she’s done the structural for, she’s often mistaken for the decorator. And she’s constantly dealing with contractors who won’t take direction from her, or making unsolicited comments, etc. She’s not one to make a PC stink about it, but that doesn’t make it ok.

Power to your wife, tick. My wife also just entered a male-dominated engineering realm.

Inappropriate talk is sometimes used. I get it, I worked construction; the private-sector construction industry is still about XX years behind in gender relations. Your wife handles it exactly like mine does. She blows it off and does her job. Then the offender tries to be nice once he realizes he's dealing with an unshakable badass. She's uninterested in women's engineering groups for the very reason that she doesn't want to be embroiled in these issues. Haha, I love that – too much drama for her. Her words, mind you. :geek:

I thought the transgender thing was an intentional derail! I can imagine Kate and others in similar situations get sick and tired of every day dudes with no game and no chance drooling over her chamois. @mountaingirl sara...you’re smokin’. I imagine you get that treatment. I’d think it gets old fast. Good ‘ol Boys!:rolleyes:

Sara did say that she had to give a couple of activity pals the chop, and good for her. It's a jungle out there...

Lol, I don’t mind the boys in general and have only had a few occasions where I felt uncomfortable. But thanks Chicken Nugget, I appreciate the compliment:rolleyes: :inlove:

Funny thing about this thread...

It is a rule in marketing that good-looking women sell product. Men like looking at them... and women do too. I remember a class where we were studying subliminal marketing and one of the ads was a "manly" cigarette ad... where the model in the ad, who was dressed like a lumberjack and looked like a man, was actually a female model. The argument was that both men and women would find themselves subliminally attracted to the ad - without fully understanding why. This was obviously in the years before gender confusion :)
