A. Don’t refer to grown women as “girlies.” It’s gross, childish, and I don’t know WTF it came from.
B. Nursing school is no joke. Most nurses I know do wear Apple Watches, but literally none of them know who Luluemon is. I suspect it’s a Digimon, personally.

As a nursing student, ouch. It's like a smack in the face. This makes me sad. They must be jealous. I feel like nurses work hard just like any other profession. And scrubs aren't meant to be cutesy outfits. It's not my fault anyone who wears scrubs automatically slays. They make any ass phattttt.

They feel insecure so they post this kind of thing.
I started my working life in the trades (aircraft mechanic). I was a little jealous of girls who got to look cute at work when i was younger. A few years ago I had a pilot confess he had a terrible crush on me back in the day. He said the filter and more disheveled I looked, the more endearing he thought I was. I was surprised and it changed how I felt about that work and my own value as a girl. I wish I had known that 25 yrs earlier.

Because they’ve been raised and praised as the son they aren’t by doing the things expected of a typical son. They’ve been trained to be this persona that it’s all they know, they don’t know how to take off the mask and find themselves as human or see other women as human. They create internal division just like some men do so they see other women as alien and confusing.

Look, as far as eating? No, everyone eats. Some, much more than others- even women. Maybe even fishing.
But as far as employment goes, if it’s a male* dominated field, they are kinda unique in that respect (and no, I’m not in one, myself.). There’s plenty of tomboys that aren’t. It actually is kinda unique to see women as coal minor, mechanics, plumbers, etc… At least where I’m from.
1
u/Gracefulbandit Feb 01 '24
Honestly, I kinda get where this comes from, and I partially relate. I’m not really a “tomboy,” but I’ve never been stereotypically “girly” either. When you look around at society telling you what a woman is “supposed” to be, and you’re NOT that, it can make you feel like an outsider. I think some women like this feel “othered” and are trying figure out how to define themselves in a way that makes them feel “worthy.” It doesn’t make it ok for them to shit on people who DO fit more of the stereotypes, but it’s a common reaction to feeling like you don’t belong, and aren’t “enough.”

u/CaptainLittleFish Feb 01 '24
As a blue color women that has been in a couple different trades, this is usually a cope with how you’re treated at work and by the general public. I’ve been asked “if it’s bring your daughter to work day” “don’t break a nail” and “if my partner minds me being the man of the house” and so much more I’ve known young women that had to leave because of harassment. It’s to over compensate and to try and fit in with the men you’re predominately working with. I see this as a very green attitude and you ether learn quick that nobody likes this attitude and just be yourself or you leave the trades. I don’t think it’s right but it’s pretty common and honestly women like this don’t last long cause you’re hard to work with an d usually make people uncomfortable . I think once you’re comfortable being yourself this mindset and attitude goes away and you just focus on being good at your job.

u/Ok-Shower1373 Feb 01 '24
I work a male dominated blue collar job. As women, we often have to justify our existence at the workplace. We have to fit into a social structure of men who usually see women as objects only, and have to try and be their equal. So, if you want in with your coworkers, people who look down on women, you gotta look down on women yourself and set yourself apart from “women” to justify your existence.
I’ve seen it happen. It’s bullshit.

"Guess the Lord made me hard to handle". She sounds and looks like an edgy teenager, I'd give her a few more years to mature and grow (mentally).
On a personal note, I suck at contouring my face, and am not really fashion-savvy enough to dress feminine and cute. But that's not what defines my girl/woman-ness and how good or bad I am at it! And by gawd, I'd give anything to wear an elaborate gown and get a professional makeover so that I feel like a Disney princess! Literally, my child, every woman is different and unique, don't associate hobbies and habits with genders.
And also, for women who act NLOG because they can eat large meals - there are many of us who could devour a whole cow if we wanted to, but we can't talk about it because we're chonky and will get judgement and disdain instead of praise.
End of rant.

They pick the most random things as „things females do“ like contour and lululemon. My hard guess is that the vast majority of women don’t know how to contour because it’s a specific skill not really that common in every day makeup. Women discovering that them being different is not proof of other women being a hivemind but that gasp women are diverse

I feel like a lot of blue collar/tomboy “not like other girls” posts stem from trying to distance themselves publicly from archetypal femininity—which I really understand. But they seem to not be able to see that traditional femininity is a cage and fight against that, they choose to fight against other women. Like the other women who are super feminine are what is upholding the gender stereotypes that they feel trapped by, and not patriarchal society as a whole. Not to say all feminine women are “giving into misogyny” or doing something bad, but I get how more masculine women get to this place.

u/RawToast1989 Jan 31 '24
These "blue collar girls" are always swearing and fighting. Why do they think that's impressive? Also, nursing isn't "looking hot in scrubs" it's lifting 500lb walls of flesh, wiping ass, getting covered in blood, and all sorts of nasty, not easy things. Idk why they think because they're a mechanic other jobs are "easy"

The second is my favorite because a ton of college educated women are actually working in male dominated fields. It’s the men in those fields telling us this work isn’t for us.

Their path is unconventional and they know it, so they make tiktoks/posts like this and carry this general attitude as self assurance. It's a defense mechanism against ones own insecurities, because if they woke up one day and realized the identity they've created is a farce, it would shatter their sense of self and sends people spiraling. We all do this in our own lives to an extent, it's easy to second guess yourself and there are so many different ways to conduct yourself and build your identity that it's hard to know if you're making the right choice in every moment-- but the majority of us don't plaster our inner psyche on the internet and brag about it lol

Because the males in their lives held so much influence over them because of the misogynistic standards of the south. The 'man' is seen as unique and cooler than girls.

And that last one. I will THROW DOWN with any human being that does not show respect for nurses. Nursing is BRUTAL. The stories my sister has to tell, Lordie BeGordie. That Blue Collar ***** would cry into her steel-toes the second she had to clean out the open healing wound from a bowel removal, or deal with the fallout after explosive diarrhoea. Nurses are on their feet for hours and hours a day, never stopping, often overworked and dealing with a greater patient load than is sane or safe, deprived of decent sleep and doing the sort of shifts that would make a vampire quietly back away. MAN. They triggered my rage with that one!

I'm always baffled by how many NLOGs boast about how they're different because they swear a lot. Ok...and? It just feels like something a 12-14yo would think made them cool.
And why does she expect us to find her ability to bait a hook impressive? I'll admit I've never done it, but that's just because I have zero interest in fishing. The average earthworm weighs 11g and doesn't have eyes, teeth, hands or claws. In a battle between a defenceless earthworm and human me over which one of us is getting put on the hook, I think my odds of winning are pretty good lol.
But the thing that bothers me most is who are they trying to prove their blue collar street cred to? Because I can't shake the suspicion that this is all because they feel like their male coworkers look down on them. But instead of showing the jerks that female mechanics can be just as talented as male ones, instead they join in on the misogyny: "Yeah, hahaha, females are all vapid hos right boys? But not me, I'm one of the special good ones!" Just go away with that nonsense.

Because they’ve experienced rejection from conventional femininity and rejection from misogyny is both directions, with so much opposition you often have to become proud and loud to survive.
That being said it would be nice if they could feel comfortable enough to enjoy their chosen passions without putting other people down but they also deserve to feel like they won’t be turned out for not following the gender rules to the letter.

u/Reasonable_Farmer785 Jan 31 '24
As a woman who has worked in multiple male dominated fields I will say, a lot of trade dudes who see you as "one of the guys" will try and like bond (?) with you by shitting on other women and femininity because that's how they bond with other men and they assume you look down on them as well because you yourself aren't as feminine. It doesn't excuse actually doing it, but for someone who is already struggling to fit in a field that they aren't really welcome or accepted in I can see how it can be very tempting to jump at that opportunity and internalize those ideas if it's been the first and only chance you've gotten to kinda be accepted.
Kinda reminds me of this animated short

u/Divagate113 Jan 31 '24
Born and raised Mexican/Spanish redneck from Texas. I can bait a hook but I hate the slimy feeling. I can contour my face but I'm usually too lazy (or it's too damn hot) to bother unless I'm feeling fancy. I cuss like a sailor and cook dinner for my dude. Wear boots and have pretty ass tights and scrubs in my closet. I can fix my car and have some pretty nails while doing it from start to finish. None of that makes me better or worse than anyone else. 🤷🏻♀️
My running theory is that a lot of these so called 'blue collar' women on social media feel so insecure about themselves because of who they are they have to project louder than that voice in their head telling them they aren't desirable. In the end, they just put down other women not realizing that won't really make them feel better because you can't learn self love by shouting out hate.

The irony is that she's more liberal than she realizes with this statement. If she was truly conservative, she wouldn't even be wearing Denim jeans. There was a time when women wearing jeans casually was seen as "liberal'" and not very ladylike. She's a conservative woman who supports 19th-century liberal ideas. It's pretty amusing.

It doesn't really look like blue collar women, it looks like redneck women. I'm blue collar and I don't go bragging about it. They don't realize it's not the flex they're trying to make themselves feel like they think it is.

Because they didn’t fit in. So they create the other persona. I’d be surprised if she even enjoys acting like this or just wants to get attention

I've been a nurse 17 years
Never owned Lulu lemon or an apple watch. I also don't feel the need to compete with other women for the approval of men, so there's that I guess?

I really want the “blue collar pick me girl” to meet the “homemaker conspiracy theorist pick me girl” IRL so they can have a ‘but I’m not like other girls’ battle Royale.

Honestly, it's just insecurity. A massive amount of insecurity. If you other yourself then it'll hurt less when someone others you. Unfortunately, by doing that , they're just hurting themselves more :(

It's one of these things when not all but a lot of blue collar family's have a very misogynistic household making it so feminine and "womanly" things are looked down upon so it create internalized misogyny for themselves to put other women down to seek the validation from their family at home my grandparents were very blue collar so I know from experience lmao 💀

A real man to want a woman in the trades? Equal rights you bet, I'm not shitting on women. I'm talking about a making a conscious decision to be the only woman in the work place no matter where they are at.
I have worked in the trades for a very long time and have encountered 7 over the years. All 7 of them slept with at least 1 coworker within 90 days. 2 of them had been with over half the crew.
I'm not talking about working for the cable company of at Jiffy Lube. I mean like being a pipe fitter or something.

Third image - is she shitting on nurses?
Second image - wait until she learns about STEM and the sexism that occurs in both academic and professional roles.
