I'll say this as well. If someone is truly and honestly offended at the suggestion that a career can be considered masculine, I really feel quite bad for them, as they must feel offended quite a lot of the time. We're here on a forum reclaiming the most masculine garment of all- perhaps this is not the place to suggest that all things are exactly suited for all genders.
My guess is that those women think that kilts = s___ts and think that only women should be able to wear something that doesn't have an inseam and that men should wear trousers @ all times.
Personal jobs haven't really been "masculine" jobs. I did do some hardware testing/upgrades for ICOM America. Never saw a woman working in the testing room, so, that time, I was in a male-only environment. That probably was the closest thing to "masculine". Nobody cared. The guy overseeing the project thought it was cool, as did the other guys who were working in the room, who were a couple teenagers with their pants sagging, as usual.
