The Pink Plasterer

Let's be honest here tho, this trade will be very limited for a lady plasterer. To work as we do on a daily basis, lift board etc would be near impossible unles they are only doing small hits and with help from a labourer. I would be extremely surprised if a lady could plaster for more than 5 years without major injury. Many years ago I had a bit of a row with a certain plastering college for mentioning just this. To sell this trade to ladies as a long term career is a bit of a sham. Yes they could easily go into training, being an assessor/teaching etc. But to do this trade we love on a daily basis rendering boarding etc most ladies would find it a struggle, I have seen ladies work part of a team ( family ) but it really is not a ladies sport. I am not a sexist just a plasterer of 12 years with a fair amount of jobs/situations under my belt. Anyone who says any different is either ill informed / making money from their course / or the lady in question is built like Geoff Capes . Colleges who promote such careers to ladies are telling major fibs ...or have not got REAL world experience in the trade themselves if they genuinely think this is not the case. To be honest I think when I hear this guff its just money in their pockets, or a keen DIY'er which is super cool. Just don't sell a dream when it can't be sustained......In fact this very subject stopped me helping out & giving advice on a certaibn colleges forum .......they seem to be using this one now.

You called them ladies/lady 8 times in that post...probably the only way you could have been more patronising is to call them ladies 9 times
