Victorian government (Australia) has mandated that there be a certain number of women on construction sites. Construction company bosses face serious penalties if they don't meet quotas. (www.3aw.com.au)

The cost of this program is paid for TWICE by young men -

fired from jobs they earned to be replaced by women who stole the job

also -

increased housing costs that hits young men the hardest.

The ones who don't get fired are going to take an effective pay cut, because the women on the crew are going to do fuck-all, so they'll complete fewer contracts and the men will have to work harder to make it happen.

There was a time when I wouldve said that people who make these insane rules think they are doing the right thing but not anymore. You do people no favors by putting them into positions they aren’t qualified for

So they want 35% of management, the rest are so small no one cares. However they want women to dictate how things work and get a large part of the money. Women to control everything, no male spaces allowed. Also female spaces need to be encouraged.

As someone here said, build back better in a more feminine way.

They're literally evil people looking to kill you.

Reduce the population of men to 10%.

They steal your jobs so you can't work, brainwash your kids, destroy your relationships with propaganda, then sit back and wait for you to die. It's morally like the nazis but they implememt it like the russians did in starving large parts of western ukraine to death.

"But something something good intentions"

If they gave 2 shits about gender distribution and whatnot, they'd be making the same requirements that men make up 50% of managers and employees in teaching, in nursing, in hr.

Of course you won't see that happen, because it's not about any inequality at all.

Everyone here agrees with your basic sentiment. People slowly back away when you start schizo posting about the elite actually being sincere duluth feminists... instead of just using it as a other wedge issue. You're a caricature pulled directly out of Anita Sarkesian's wet dreams.

Yes it’s a common pattern with evil people. Blame you first so their own behavior goes unscrutinized.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was punishment for the anti-lockdown protests.

"Yeah, Georgie, yeah, I'm gonna need you to send another sheila. Helen's done gone slipped her lead. No, I'm not jokin', mate, and I'm not bein' misogynist. She was up on Pylon Two takin' selfies with her harness half-buckled, tryin for a free fall shot with that damn extendo stick again. She hit the ground pretty hard, but at least she got somethin' finally worthy of her instagram. I know, she'd think it was worth it too."

And they're going to find that there just aren't enough interested to meet their quotas. Horses and water, and all that. It's happened before. It's not a glass wall, it's just that those of us willing to do such work are the oddballs. The only way you're going to fill those quotas is to link those jobs to the welfare rolls, and tell the long-termers "take this job or lose your benefits".

Oh, and what about training and tickets?

Reminder that (despite its male leader) this is the most “feminist” state government in the entire Anglosphere, in all likelihood… It’s right up there with Scotland and NZ, but those are different levels of government, so…

Let’s just say that this is no surprise to me, or likely to the two other Aussies I have so far seen comment on this post…

Victoria is extreme, even by Australian standards. Which by themselves would be extreme to most of you… Dan Andrews is literally a socialist Chinese puppet. It’s scary how effed his government is…

Hurray for cost overruns. Remaining competant male workers should be charging a fortune forvtheir services.

Where are they going to find women who want to be on construction sites?

The only way they'll be able to do this is by shoehorning women into supervisor/foreman roles, which means putting a bunch of men under the leadership of women with less experience than they have.

Cue a rise in accidents (dead men) and shoddy workmanship.

A disaster in the making. It will take a decade or more to unfold.

Well time to install poles for the new construction women to dance on because that's all the good they will be for construction. Perhaps set up some booths for them to sell their asses to the construction workers will count?
