Women Are Pranking Men With This TikTok Trend

[@SrikanthRaguraman]

You said men “choose to do these types of incredibly dangerous , not fun, dirty jobs” , but it’s important to note that men choose these jobs (in majority) not because it’s entertaining or fulfilling, but because it pays enough to provide for their family. Props to these men for keeping our country running. As a man myself, I would be hard pressed to last even a week at a job like this. Props to the men and women out there that keep our critical infrastructure running!🎉🎉🎉

As a guy who's been working in the oil and gas industry for 15 years, it's crazy to see the huge push by oil companies to bring women into the industry. It's so frustrating showing up to a job and having one or more women on the crew that can't easily lift 50 lbs. I work in -45 degree weather in the winter and +35 in the summer and the guys are expected to go all out but the women hang out in warm up shacks or the truck all winter and complain most of the summer.

[@kimmogensen4888]

Hopefully people are payed based on the amount of work they do or I would make a official complaint about gender discrimination if that is not allowed in your country, which it isn’t in most. Having to do the work for satisfying a pr stunt is fine if the company compensates those who are doing most of the work.

[@Jaster832]

Plus they have to have special bathroom access where guys can just whip it out and go anywhere. Men are expected to be able to take a shit zero times a day or only during lunch when they can go to the facilities. Putting a woman on any kind of male-dominated job like construction, roughnecking, or truck driving just makes all the guys have to work harder and costs the company money for facilities, fucks up group cohesion and keeps guys from being able to just turn their back and piss anywhere.

@englishatheart haha edited the comment, thanks.

[@friskydingo9024]

@Jaster832 yeah it's getting pretty bad in my industry. One of the reason why I used to like construction was because it was just you and your friends talking shit and having a good time together but now I've seen so many dudes get written up for joking with a woman when she would start cracking jokes but would get hurt feelings if a guy said the wrong thing. I personally had to do sensitivity training because a woman apprentice was non-stop fucking up on a very easy task and after talking with just her and informing her of the issue she still continued to fuck up so I did what every journeyman before me has done when someone keeps fucking up and creating more work for others, and that was yell at her in front of the whole crew. She cried and then refused to work for the rest of the day so I sent her back to the lunch trailer where she cried more and then the superintendent called me in and said I could talk that way to everyone on the crew but her. I then had to waste a weekend on my days off after working 21 days straight doing training about how to use positive reinforcement and not negative.

[@TreyM1609]

It’s a very VERY TOUGH job. I worked for 15 years at an aluminum recycling plant. Which is nowhere near what these guys do but hard in itself. We had 1 female that worked there in the 15 years I was there and she was and still is the toughest woman I ever met. She’s probably retired now cause she was in her 50’s 20 years ago. So they’re are outliers but…. No ladies don’t go out on an oil rig unless you’re bringing a camera and a producer

[@xbabu142x]

Yep I've only met one woman myself on the rigs, and she was literally just one of the dudes. Butch old school lesbian, like I mean she got the cat calling started when hot women went by, and would always do the American pie milf chant when she saw a hot mom. Aside from that for an offshore crew I remember her saying "it's not about anything but respect and trust, not on some social justice sh*t, on some we don't wanna die in a petrol fire, or any other preventable issue." She even took over the screening of all women applicants when one said one of the guys were mean, and it was almost an issue. Offshore rig work is like military operations from what I've gathered, either you do it right or you die. Made sense to me.

[@TheSulross]

I worked as an oil field rough neck during summers and winter breaks during college years. Actually started when was still in high school. Worked both land rigs and offshore. Loved the pay, but it's tough and can be dangerous work. A lot of hours spent in misery depending on weather conditions. Offshore we worked 12 hour shifts so tripping pipe in or out of the hole for that long is grueling. I also worked the derick position (90 ft above the rig floor) for 12 hour shifts - handling the drill collars is tricky and they are very heavy pipe, so if they start to go in wrong direction they can get away. Couple of times I had to get out of safety harness, crawl across the rig structure at that height to retrieve a stand - and not goof up and fall to a very likely, unpleasant death. I do have a permanent scar on a cheek from being struck by the spinning chain (knocked out briefly and taken to emergency room to be stiched up), and when working on offshore, a co-worker that was also 19 died due to a crane sling breaking and drill pipe falling on him (I generally found offshore more dangerous than land rigs - but I enjoyed the helicopter rides and the cooking was decent - the cook was Cajun). It's one of the tougher kind of jobs one can do in civilian life short of going to war. But it tends to pay pretty well. I liked doing it and so kept going back again and again. Mom never liked it - she worked in a hospital and saw the rig accidents that would come in, so can't much blame her.

[@Adrienople]

In our defense, I never knew these jobs existed. I weld and am an audio engineer (sadly still a male dominated field) but i didnt learn about these jobs until my early 20s because no male figures in my life ever even told me about this stuff. I learned about welding in a college class and next thing you know I'm the best welder in the class and i do it on the side professionally now. Not saying basic welds are anywhere near as tough as underwater welding, just sayin these kind of roles arent even told to us so how would women ever grow up learning these trades if we dont know they exist *shrugs* 😕 By the time we learn about this stuff we are already out of highschool and have chosen a major in college so we are pretty committed to a path in life by then.

[@dragonsman4733]

​​@@Adrienople yeah that's a good point, I only learned about jobs like being a builder, or engineer, from books. I wouldn't have known much about the fire department or police other than their numbers, if my homeschool group hadn't went to both stations to learn. I wouldn't have known about the RSPCA either, if we didn't have a pigeon crash into our garden with a broken wing. it doesn't exactly help that when you bring this up to any dudes they discourage you from doing any by talking about "gender roles" and mentioning their reasoning for why women don't do most jobs. The last part is personal experience, and probably hasn't happened to many, but judging by this comment section, many seem to hold the same mentality as those men.

[@JonathanScarlet]

@@Adrienople I think that partially hints at how women might need to be shown jobs like this. Firstly, not just as some offhand "ohey, there are jobs like offshore drill rigging out there" but that they actually exist and can actually be lucrative if incredibly dangerous. And secondly (which might be the more controversial part), women might need to have jobs like that mentioned and discussed very early in life, like in those take-your-parents-to-school days kind of thing (if, yknow, they still do that). Plus, they might need to be given a lot more focused training and mentorship not just for the technical skill but maybe even physical prowess to make up for the lack of natural strength and natural muscle growth men have to do those jobs in the first place. I'm not super-versed in those jobs, either, so anything like welding (such as underwater welding) might not need that kind of focus and merely just letting girls know they exist and proposing them as viable ideas. That will have it's own set of hurdles in today's world, certainly, but it'd be possible. And I could be overstating that wildly due to my lack of knowledge. But i think that bringing them up early in life will be super-important. (that isn't even touching any stigmas of women in those jobs/fields in the first place.)

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

Roughnecking is about the toughest job you could possibly have imo. We had some guys come out and set up a rig on our farm drilling for oil. Those guys worked around the clock for about two weeks drilling. I went over a few times to chat with them, and everyone of them were missing most of their teeth from getting hit with the equipment. I asked them if they all used the same dentist which brought a good chuckle. Needless to say, these are the hardest working men there are, and they make each and every one of our lives better due to their hard work. Hats off to all the roughnecks out there

[@Suzuki_Hiakura]

Legit curious if they get false teeth after getting home, as I can't imagine losing a ton of teeth and then going back home and being unable to bite into a steak or porkchop tbh.

[@watermia]

​@Suzuki_Hiakura, yeah, it seems kind of dumb, if its so common, why not wear some kind of helmet or at least a mouthpiece

[@Suzuki_Hiakura]

@@watermia I figure because the kinetic force from accidents would cause more damage than a mouthpiece could protect against... a good enough helmet would likely limit visibility in some way, or send protective bits at the worker in a similar fashion as the mouthpiece. I imagine the mouthpiece would either fracture teeth instead of knocking them out, or disperse the force to multiple teeth beyond the point of impact, taking out more. I could be wrong though, that is just my theory.

I roughnecked both land rigs and offshore during summer breaks during college years too. Got a permanent scar on cheek from when the spinning chain looped in an unusual way - knocked me on my butt and went briefly unconscious. On the offshore rig I was 19 - a new guy also 19 got killed due a crane sling breaking (drill pipe fell on him). Very sad. After a summer of offshore, I went back to land rigs as there were just a lot more things going on in offshore environment (just as a sampler of my personal close calls - I nearly plunged 50 ft into the ocean because of a stupid service hatch on a walk way coming off the rig floor being left open - I reflexively extended my arms out and caught myself as I was plunging through it) When I worked in the derrick position (90 ft above drilling floor) there were two or three times I had to come out of the safety harness and crawl across the rig structure to retrieve a stand - no room for any mistake there as would mean falling to a nasty death. It's dicy work for sure.

Just like Brett, they commended me for the work. I enjoy sharing stories about my insane underwater experiences. I've done and seen it all, and I am so glad that I did. In my eight years as a professional deep sea diver, I never saw a female near the diving station. Back in the 70s, it would have been bad luck to let a woman on station.

During the communism in Hungary in the 50s and 60s, one of the biggest symbols of the workers was the female tractor driver. Women replaced almost all men when it came to driving tractors on the fields for sowing, harvesting, transporting, etc. After a while the farm owners ("alliances") noticed that the work was falling behind due to large numbers of women having to take medical leave. After investigating this a bit, it turned out that the constant jumping in-out of the tractor from warm to cold temperatures and vice versa, paired with the constant vibration, caused UTIs and other ailments of the lower body for women on a disproportionate scale. So they began hiring men again, and that was the end of the female tractor driver, at least en masse.

[@EmeraldsFire]

Never heard that but not surprised

[@gigglingchicken8444]

Lol vibrations and jumping in and out of hot and cold. Well that is not how you get a uti. More likely it was holding their urine too long and maybe poor hygiene as e coli is a common cause for utis. If this was remotely true I would of had so many utis being an operator working 50+ hours a week or my female friends in the agriculture industry during the harvest season. Luckily I haven't had one since I was a small child.

[@fredfredburger5150]

@@gigglingchicken8444 Assuming your male that's not true. Simply put the length of the urethra is a large factor in wether or not one develops a UTI. Mens urethras are longer than females. Assuming you're female you're just arguing against historical fact because it conflicts with your ideology.

[@gigglingchicken8444]

@fredfredburger5150 I am not arguing that it is easier for a women to get a uti but those are not causes of one. It is a weakened immune system, poor hygiene, being sexually active, or waiting too long to use the restroom. Vibrations from a tractor wouldn't and jumping in an out of a warm vehicle in a cold environment won't do that. My guess is that they held it and bacteria built up in their bladder because women just can't urinate wherever they desire.

Depending on year, timber falling and deep sea fishing compete for most deaths per capita at work in the United States. Being a cop is somewhere around 23rd on the list when I checked. As a former sawyer on a hotshot crew, I have known a decent number of people who really want to fell trees. Not many women in that category to say the least. Now I work in healthcare surrounded by female nurses, and whenever anything feels dangerous… they generally call for me. Even if it’s just a spider (true story). Equality is great apparently. As long as it isn’t dying in a traumatic, painful way covered in filth far away from home, in which case it appears a little less equality is A-okay.

North east France here. Last November we got hit with a terrible storm. I'd never seen like it. Trees were ripped off the ground everywhere in town. A few days later I saw a group of about 5 city workers (all men) clearing off the fallen trees opposite my house. They were muddy and wet and lifting these huge trunks. I left the warmth of my living room to cross the street and ask if one of them could remove a big rat that died just near the entrance of my building. The main dude made a friendly joke and he went retrieve it straight away. I thanked him and his crew and told them they were doing a great job - one that I definitely couldn't do. It put a smile on their faces. Not that they seemed miserable before I complimented them - unlike the bored 20 somethings who work in high street stores or fast food joints and clearly hate their jobs and treat customers with contempt.

A good friend used to be a mud engineer in international off-shore. His schedule was 28 days on/28 days off. MEs are some if the highest paid jobs so the men are on call 24/7. When there's a big completion problem it wasn't unusal to work 48 hours only getting maybe an hour or two nap now and then. He hardly ever got more than 6 hours continuous sleep. One time he came onshore to catch a plane home. This was Madagascar. While on the rig there had been a political coup and revolution. All plane traffic was shut down. Everywhere they went there were panicked teenage soldiers with machine guns and scared to death. Very dangerous. The company finally got them out in about 2 weeks. He told his boss, "If you ever want to fire me just schedule me for that place again". For life insurance purposes International Offshore Rig work is considered a greater risk than a soldier being deployed in an active combat zone.

Roughnecking, not "oil rigging", is a physically demanding, filthy, and dangerous job. That being said, it also gives a feeling of accomplishment. The video is "old school" and most rigs now don't do it that way. The biggest issue with a female doing the job is the physicality of it.
