I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.

    I moved into a house where a person with “basic electrical skills” lived and there are so many fire hazards and death traps. I wish electrical assistance was cheaper so people doesn’t mess with that. It was an old partner to the person I moved in with and she was upset that I hired an electrician to redo quite alot[

    Not anything against your skills, the phrase just reminded me of my former home :P

      Agreed, and any major work is done by a licensed electrician, but replacing an outlet or switch is completely doable with training and safety measures.
