Sine A. sent in this awesome photo that she and Kayt S. took at a construction site in Fairbanks, Alaska:
As Sine points out, given the history of frequent resistance to women in male-dominated jobs and in unions, it’s “refreshing and quite startling to see this sign on a job site.”
Thanks for an awesome pic, Sine!

I like how the banner has images of women that were used during WWII employment demands.

Bullshit! Every red neck knows, "A woman's place is in the home, barefoot, pregnant and chained to a kitchen sink" - It's the American way! let the ice caps melt, let Darfur starve, let the oil run out, let the yellow hordes have my job, let the wars rage on, let inflation starve me out, let deflation choke my wallet, let OPEC ream my ass, let Wallstreet steal my mortgage, let Bin Laden run free, let Iraq prosper, let gas go to $12.00 a gallon, let The Big Three build eco-cars, let the stock market fall, let the Euro soar, But don't touch my 'sacred cow' let the American sexpots we love stay as they are, over -indulged, ignorant, large-breasted sex machines, at home at the sink, and ready to do service for me!
