I grew up in a family where the women do the painting and decorating, gardening, heavy lifting, etc. on top of everything else. I was very bemused when I was informed by school that men do these jobs.
I am a female. I'm also a farm worker... which surprises a lot of people. I often get mistaken for being a work experience student, because who on earth expects a small, slim female to drive a JCB, milk a herd of cows, and shear sheep by herself? Our milk recorder, main artificial inseminator, livestock vets, half of our work experience students and even our best working dogs are all female.
Earlier in the week, I was clearing drainpipes at great height, while standing in a JCB-mounted man basket. I've unblocked drains at home, too. I've done simple plumbing. I'm far from weak, courtesy of regularly lifting heavy loads. I'm small but mighty! Thus, please don't tar all women with the same brush. Some of us don't mind doing jobs that involve hard physical labour!
