When did you last see a female waste collector?

The last time I was home when the garbage people came. There's a lady on my route.

I'm not sure this is really appropriate as an article. The point is still kind of valid, albeit a bit redundant - we know that there's an imbalance of men and women in all different kinds of industries, and there always will be because of natural characteristics in each gender. We shouldn't be conscripting people into this job or that job to maintain an even number of men:women, black:white:asian:hispanic, young:old, etc.

what does a job CHOICE have to do with men's rights? He chose to work the job, yeah it sucks that he died but it was still his choice. He didn't die because some woman forced him to work that instead of a desk job or something.

I saw one when I was living in Finland. It's pretty rare to see them overall anyway, since they do their rounds early in the morning and I'm on the move later.

You should come to Chicago.

Where I live, we have curbside pick up where private residents must provide their own trash cans. The issue is not the sex of the waste collector, but rather, the height. Too tall or too short can lead to repetitive motion injuries. (Had a friend apply & was rejected for being too tall for the job).

If a job is dirty or dangerous it will most often be dominated by men. And you won't see any feminists demanding equality.

I didn't even know this was a thing.

I have yet to see a woman collecting waster collector here.

HausDeKittehs · 2012-10-04T22:02:41+00:00

A week ago at my university. Rarely enough that I took notice when I saw her.

One of the collectors who works on my street sometimes is female. So that would be last Thursday to answer your question.

At least they did state it was a man that was killed. Not just "someone" or "a person" as is common practice.

Thursday

Just this morning, we call her woman and occasionally let her our of the specially designed 'patriarchy-cage' so she can tidy, cook and such.

On a serious note, I think I saw one last year.
