I needed some excavation and site prep done recently and went looking for a woman to do it. Found only self-employed men who owned their equipment. The guy who did it used old equipment he maintained himself with a small crew of other men he hired. So I thought, what's stopping women from purchasing and maintaining an excavator, dozer, off-road dump truck, wheel loader, and trash pump? Why did this particular business owner only hire men? There's systemic sexism right in front of our eyes all the time.

Maybe women don't want to do it?

Smart women marry the owner and spent his money.
