Jim, your point about many women's reluctance to pursue "heavy-lifting" jobs. Many, not all. I remember being surprised at the number of women I saw working in Jim Walter's coal mine in Alabama about 18 years ago. They had to fight to get in, since a woman in a mine was supposed to bad luck; once they did, they took advantage of the opportunity. A lot of men turn their noses up at dirty blue-collar jobs too. Have you ever noticed who is holding the jackhammer and who is holding the "Go Slow" sign when driving thru road construction? Usually but not always, which I find heartening.
