And I provided you with documentation of how discrimination and harassment keeps women out of those professions.

The union doesn't hire workers and workers don't want to do 3 people's jobs. If the mine finds a new seam or the company expands, they need more workers and the union doesn't have any control over that. You're again just making shit up because it feels right to you.

And yes, I have refuted it over and over again. You're in cognitivie dissonance - those 30,000 women who went into mining once they were allowed to could have gotten other less physical jobs but they chose mining because it pays better. More and more women ARE going into plumbing and construction, etc., today, as we speak, because even though more tech jobs are available, lots of women want to do that kind of work and there's finally slightly less harassment and pushback to women in those fields.

Women are going into the trades at higher rates than ever before which completely disproves your premise.

"A report published in 2022 by the U.S. Department of Labor reveals that the number of apprenticeships held by women has more than doubled from 2014 to 2022 and now make up nearly 14% of active apprenticeships. In 2021, “the number of women working in trades occupations reached the highest level ever, at just over 314,000. During the last five years, the number of tradeswomen increased by almost one-third.”

I've got other things to do ...
