Anyway - the topic seems to be about 'gender' ......so:

Check-out that classic photo of the Ladies assembling the legendary Philco 444's down in Greenford! This wasn't wartime - but there isn't a bloke in sight!! To my mind these ladies weren't 'factory workers' .... they were skilled technicians .... applying deft fingers and total concentration to intricate assembly operations involving expensive components.

And ...... I bet what came off their production lines performed a whole lot better than mine .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
