In appalachia I worked in a few factories. Women worked in all of them.
They mostly did stuff like run the smaller assemblies or just restock inventory.
I didnt see many actually running the main machines, never seen a woman welder in appalachia. Seen a few of them in nova scotia though. Not to brag but one place I worked at, I was way faster at loading the final assembly than anyone on my shift or anyone on the other shifts. Almost seems like a dream now, I went from working 70 hour weeks to barely being able to do 30, to not being able to hold a full time job now. The only thing I have to look forward to now is homelessness and the soon sweet release of death.
Like the above user said, most women dont want to do physically grueling work.
This is just weasel language to get away from the MAIN reason why women aren't in those jobs:
It's physically demanding.
Women avoid manufacturing work because it's regarded as low status. It's not white collar.
Also very harsh work environment that caters to the lowest common denominator. Youre treated like a cog, because you are one.

Oh no! You mean I won't have enough time to shoot office tiktoks?!
I want a 150k job in an office that allows me to do my tiktoks!!!!!!!!
more than you'd think, honestly. when I worked for master woodcraft, about half the people on day shift in the hotpress area were women.
Old buzzard's just grasping at straws, because she has nothing substantial to bring to the table.
