   Something I really hate about working with women in guy-jobs is that they simply don’t love it like we do. Guys will dive into their jobs like this, they’ll learn stuff they don’t need, they’ll join forums and pick up tricks as they voraciously consume everything that can about their passion.

   I’ve yet to see a woman do that the same way. I’ve never, ever seen a girl pilot finish a long 8-hr flight and head insite to turn on microsoft flight sim and fly another virtual flight with strangers online, dreaming of her next job in a bigger, better jet. I’ve seen that more than a handful of times in the men, though.

   That’s something people never really talk about with stories like these. It’s an accessory for her, it’s a life’s labor for him (provided he’s autistic)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I'm just laughing at how she's holding that hammer.

     When I work with an older guy, I almost always come away learning something about the industry and its history. I flew with an old timer for a while who had a damn near encyclopedic knowledge of every weird, one-off kit plane ever built in the last 50 years, he had test-flown a bunch of them and signed them off for 5 decades. I could learn from that dude for months.

     Meanwhile, Cathy just talks about how much of a bastard her soon to be ex husband is

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I've worked in custom cabinetry/millwork for around 20 years. End of 2021 was the first time we had a female in the shop (20something, tattooed, dyke from Oregon).
     
     She quit because she couldn't work at a production schedule pace. More of an artsy-farsty thing to her.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot 100% agree. You have to constantly remind yourself that women getting hired everywhere fast is not a reflection of your competences being lesser than.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I once helped with a programming class for a technical course containing men and women. At the end of a lesson, the professor gave the class a simple function to write, and a few cursory tests to run it by.
     
     A woman managed to implement the function in a way that passed the tests but that would fail for about half of the domain of the function. I pointed this out. "It passes the tests." Yeah, but--
     
     She gave me look. Annoyance? Disgust? Contempt? "Go fuck yourself and stop bothering me, I'm done here, I don't give a shit about what I'm doing beyond technically meeting requirements"?
     
     It was a look that a man couldn't give you if he tried--and never would have, because even if a man thought I was completely wrong, I would've offended his pride in his work by suggesting he'd made a mistake. This woman should've been taken out of the class and her facial expressions weaponized so that they could be deployed on command to America's enemies. It's a look that, thanks to Pfizer and Moderna, could probably reliably kill people today.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot putting a whore like her in a workplace with earnest autistic guys is like throwing a viper into a napsack filled with puppies. Casual cruelty to men, especially White men, is basically the norm at this point
