History tells us that many women can perform skilled trade jobs as well as men. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 millions of American men volunteered for the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and other services. Women immediately stepped up to the plate by taking on the jobs and built tanks, airplanes, guns and whatever else was needed for the war effort.

Yes, they sure did step up. I still don’t think women should be in combat roles or an electrician. I’m tired of having to do the hard things because they can’t or won’t.

A degree in woman studies is garbage though. There are lots of jobs in home automation for example too.

Well...except in odumbo’s Amerika women are only precious if they are lesbian, have killed one or two of their offspring and are currently smoking pot, unemployed, on food stamps, welfare and live in public housing. So something like getting a job — A blue collar job, well, in odumbo’s Amerika that sort of thing is considered very passé so why would women do it.

Good for them.

I hope everyone get this too. The idea that everyone could or should go to college is a myth. We need skilled people in various trades. Sex should not be ab issue if the person can do the job well.

I’m sorry but that just shows another front of the Republican Party’s “War on Women.” Forcing women to work, when Obamanocare means that women can have free healthcare to be at home taking care of the children they, for some insane reason decide not to prevent having or conceiving.

Just giving press secretary Carney’s response before you hear it on tv tonight.

(aka, sarcasm)

There is a reason the examiner is not a respected source, and this article is part of it.

You should be surprised if a female service plumber shows up, I have never seen a real one since they can’t really do the work, and Rosie the riverter was not the success that war time propaganda portrayed it as.

“”History tells us that many women can perform skilled trade jobs as well as men.”” is a lie.

I would like to grab a sandwich and watch a woman carry a five ton compressor up an extension ladder onto a roof for a change out.

I must say I did not expect to read this in the article!

While Sandra Fluke is a symbol of women asking for free condoms there are smart women who are attending trade schools as an alternative to becoming dependent on government handouts.
