I thought it was an excellent story - you are seeing more and more women in the trades, in our community I know of two qualified female plumber and gasfitters and two female apprentices.  There are a few sparkies, and good to see the female project manager for Fletchers.   Certainly they are a marketable item for women customers and elderly women at home.  They haven't queered their pitch on programmes like Target either! 

As to putting up with nonsense from the guys - perhaps they make everyone lift their game and the behaviour on site goes up a notch!
Have you learned lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?  Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed the passage with you?  (Walt Whitman 1819-1891)  American Poet
