Female tradies are leaving in droves due to sex discrimination. This article has particular focus on toilet access:

I don't know why these girls don't just identify as blokes, problem solved surely?

Skilled workers are considering leaving the trades — and toilets are to blame

Tradies are walking out. Not over ability or aptitude but toilets — in a symbol of the sector's persistent barriers.

I read this today. It is a really important issue to be tackled.

Yep, another incident where men won't give way and accept that women can work in these industries too.

Accommodating the needs of women in such jobs should not be beyond the capability's of any company, and what the male employees don't get is if employers are forced to take more time over the welfare facilities because of women the provisions for men will also be raised to a higher standard.

Men, thick as two short planks. 🤯

A very important issue and yet another reason why we need to clearly name our sex.

Good grief, I didn't realise Australia was still in the 1950s.
