Feminists Are In the Shit Now
Gender equality in construction: getting women to build London’s super sewer | The Thames Tideway chief executive wants half the workers on the multi-billion pound construction project to be female."A few weeks in to my new role as chief executive at Thames Tideway Tunnel, I announced that I wanted to achieve gender parity by the time we finished construction of London’s “super sewer” in 2023. A few faces around the table dropped visibly; there was a sense of disbelief as those around me started fretting about how on earth we were going to achieve the seemingly unachievable. We are a construction project, after all. We are going to be building a 25-km concrete tunnel up to 65 metres below the River Thames to transport the raw sewage that currently discharges in to the river away for treatment. This is a distinctly unglamorous project in a “man’s world”."

Your Say
Oh, I can just see the line of women hoping to get a job in the sewer. Yeah, prolly not.

“Unfortunately, as a white, British middle-aged man, I am not helping with the diversity targets.”
Bingo, douchebag! Replace yourself with a woman. Preferably a one legged, Black, Middle Eastern, Muslim, hermaphrodite with a speech impediment.
Notice how he prattles on about Engineers, as if the majority of the workforce will be not laborers and the like. Jobs women don’t want or can’t do. (Yea, sue me ‘cause your upper body strength is below that of men.)
As a side note, would just love to be on that jobsite during that time of the month when those 2,000 women are “in sync”. Good luck Andy, hope you enjoy your sought after “diversity” then Ole Chap.

Simple, just double the work force you need and have the women stand around with stop signs.

Where do the Brits find such men?

Not to fret guys. I am pretty sure most women will stay the hell away from that shining opportunity.

Weeellll......
In that case, I propose that the men pull a reverse Lysistrata and refuse to do the work until their wives stop complaining about equal pay.
Wanna shit inside, girls? Grab a shovel and get with it.

Huh, meeting budget and schedule are apparently not a priority.

Cheap, Fast, Good
Pick any 2.

You can pick any two as long as you don't pick good. You won't get it cheap and good and probably won't get it fast and good. Good is in a league by itself.
