The differences and inequalities between men and women have been a central part of societal debate for hundreds of years — and the topic remains just as relevant today.
”It’s a f—ing 40-degree day today..”
We all know how tough it can be to work outside when the sun is blazing and the heat is relentless. If you’ve ever had to power through a scorching day on the road or at a construction site, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
When I was growing up, it wasn’t unusual to see road workers or construction workers shirtless on hot days. It might not be as common today, but I still occasionally see men working with sunburned shoulders and nothing on top.
Shianne Fox, an Australian tradeswoman who goes by the name “The Bikini Tradie” on social media, took to TikTok to vent her frustration after being told she couldn’t remove her shirt while working outside on a scorching 104°F (40°C) day.
”It’s a f—ing 40-degree day today and I’m the one who has to wear my shirt, while all the boys on-site don’t have to wear theirs,” she ranted and continued:
“It’s a double standard, it’s sexist, and I’m actually really over it. I just want to be topless like the boys—but no, I will ‘distract them’.”
