Ugh, and why must we endorse the infantilization inflicted upon us by everything being "girlsomething"? Or maybe I've just instantaneously become a bitter 43 yo by acknowledging that I am, in fact, a grown woman? Thank you for your article, I really appreciate it!
I can't get the picture out of my head of a hot pink 2002 Tacoma. It's quite a sight!
I was unaware of the "Lazy girl job" and infuriatingly agree men have occupied this space for decades. Why has it never been called the Lazy man job?
Because, I've worked in many male dominated fields and I can attest... most men are Lazy AF. If they spent half as much energy working as they do avoiding working the world would be an incredible place.
I have been told numerous times, "Slow down we have a pace." The old guys on a jobsite often create the slow roll to job completion.
I have watched to the point of screaming a worker cut a piece of lumber and check his watch. Exactly five minutes later he would cut the next piece. Finally at the point right before losing my cool I asked why? "Because this is the way I was taught." Well, not on my job site princess put the pedal to the metal or beat feet!
As I run off to Google Lazy Girl Job and pink Toyota Tacomas my head is throbbing a bit at the nomenclature some guy coined.
Thank you for a great article, very though provoking!
I have not heard the terms "bedrottubf" or *lazygirl job", but I do suspect you are correct in that it's the same job men gave done without a title. It's the Patriarchal hypocrisy that elevates men, incompetent or not as qualified, above every competent more qualified woman doing the same job.
I’m not sure why I should care about the rehabilitation of a product for a toy company? Does it really make me an outlier to hope for a new and better doll or toy for girls, rather than accepting the recasting of an obvious sex doll as a feminist icon?
Bedrotting sounds suspiciously like depression. Thanks for sending me down the rabbit-hole Jessica!
