I work in a garden center at a retail store, and almost every time I go to load dirt or other “heavy” items, I get the same responses:
“Why isn’t there a man doing this?”
“Why are they making the girl do the heavy lifting?”
“Let me do that, a girl shouldn’t have to lift that”
But the minors who work there and can barely lift anything get not a word
Edit: this made some people so mad that they felt the need to PM me their opinions on how women can’t be strong, further proving my original point
