Girls Can’t Be Construction Workers

Posted by: gretchen on Thursday, October 11th, 2007 in New Designs | 6 Comments

The construction worker design has been on my list for quite sometime now and I keep getting requests for it, so here it is! I was noticing in my research, too, how many construction signs are not gender-neutral. For example, the “Men Working” sign still exists. In fact, last summer I tried to snap a photo of one sitting out on my street because standing just five feet from it was a woman with a jackhammer, drilling into the pavement. Unfortunately we were going by so fast that the photo turned out blurry. On the bright side, I have seen the lovely orange signs with simply the word “Workers” on it. That’s much better. For my design, though, I created my own sign. ;)

    Amen! As a single mom I’m responsible for everything around the house. I make sure my kids see me using tools and fixing things.
