It’s because when women and black people meet all the criteria and are begrudgingly allowed in that’s when the haze out circus begins. In my union in a dark blue state Union officers were putting nooses and writing kkk on a group of black men’s thinks to the point they had to file a police report.

Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.

I’ve been a scientific monitor for construction projects and they will tolerate you, but you will mostly be excluded. I of course as bearded man from the South had an easier time than some of the younger women that were my coworkers.
Honestly the drama on a construction site is peak. These grown men are so petty and cliquey
