How many female feminists does it take to build a bridge?

How do we know that those aren't all F2M trans huh?

They link to a page from the company that built the bridge which confirms that the company is owned by men and had male construction workers.

So this whole argument could've been entirely avoided if you looked at his article then looked at other supporting articles?

Pretty much. That's honestly my bad.

This is a tony thread. The signs were all there

You don't think there's any residual effects from this? Lots of civil engineering companies are still owned and managed by people who lived back then.

Nope because during the 1950s-60s not many women were even interested in those things. Even if they were still allowed to join back then they'd still be the 1%.

But we aren't talking about construction here, are we? We're talking about civil engineering - the people that actually design and dimension these structures.
Read the article. They link to a page from the company that built the bridge which confirms that the company is owned by men and had male construction workers.

I know someone that went from construction to civil engineering without a degree before 1970. If you had no engineering degree back then you could start small and prove yourself and then become a civil engineer.

Nowadays you're forced to get a degree no matter what. So if you were designing bridges in 1950-60 without a degree you now can't prove you have the knowledge since degrees are a requirement.

This is relevant because back then you didn't need a college degree to build bridges and if these women really wanted to become engineers they should have started in construction first.

Do you honestly expect us to believe you know people?

The bridge was designed by men but some how women are to blame. Only explanation would be if the female construction workers were giving the lead contractors head while they designed the stuff

Male company owners.

Male construction workers

female engineers.

Y ur avatar no work?

So is the massive surge in female interest in engineering because of magic, or because there aren't impassable institutional and societal barriers blocking them from pursuing that career?

So if you were designing bridges in 1950-60 without a degree you now can't prove you have the knowledge since degrees are a requirement.

That's because you shouldn't be planning out a bridge unless you went to college for it. Building bridges that don't collapse requires physics, materials science, CAD skills, and a whole host of other stuff that you can only really learn by going to college for it.

Trust me when I say that we'd have way more bridge collapses hiring promoted construction workers instead of all-female teams of degree-holding engineers from accredited colleges lol

Here's why snopes is bullstuff.


Here is the question on the snopes article

"Was an All-Female Construction Company Responsible for the FIU-Sweetwater Bridge Collapse?"

This is marked  false because there was some male construction workers and the company is owned by males.

But that's not what the public is asking. They are asking if the engineering team was all female. Snopes dodges around this.


Snopes question is all-female construction not all-female engineering.

[Insert Name Here²]

bridges build entirely by feminist "muh equality" women: 1

bridges collapsed by them: 1

[thegoodperry]

Male company owners.

Male construction workers

female engineers.

the entire company has like one female engineer and she wasn't even part of the bridge project. It's even on their website
